Ready for a day of serious fishing action? Hop aboard with Chosen One Fishing Charters for a full-day offshore trip that'll have you telling fish tales for years to come. Captain Remus Griffin knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's got the hotspots dialed in for landing some real beauties. We're talking about the kind of trip where you might be battling a big mahi one minute and watching a sailfish dance across the surface the next. So grab your sunscreen and get ready to bend some rods – this is offshore fishing at its finest.
Here's the scoop: you and up to three buddies get a solid 8 hours on the water with Captain Griffin. We'll be pushing out past the breakers and into the blue water where the big boys play. Our target list reads like a who's who of sought-after gamefish – cobia, mahi-mahi, sailfish, wahoo, and a bunch of tasty bottom dwellers like snapper and grouper. The boat's got all the gear you need, so just bring your A-game and maybe a sandwich or two. Fair warning: once you get a taste of Fort Pierce offshore fishing, you might find yourself hooked for life.
Alright, let's talk shop. Offshore fishing isn't just about dropping a line and hoping for the best. We'll be mixing it up out there, using every trick in the book to put you on fish. Expect to do some trolling – that's where we'll drag baits behind the boat to entice those pelagics like mahi and wahoo. When we mark some structure on the fish finder, we might switch to bottom fishing, dropping baits down to tempt those grouper and snapper. And if we spot some birds working or surface activity? Get ready to cast – that could mean sailfish or cobia are in the neighborhood. Captain Griffin's always got his eyes peeled for any signs of life, and he'll have you switching tactics faster than you can say "Fish on!"
Let me tell you, the fishing's been on fire lately. We've had folks pulling in mahi-mahi big enough to need two people to hoist for a photo. Just last week, a group nailed a wahoo that screamed off so much line, we thought we might need to chase it down. And don't even get me started on the sailfish action – when those bills start slicing through the water, it's a sight you won't forget. Bottom fishing's been productive too, with some real slob grouper and snapper coming over the rails. Every trip's different out here, but that's what keeps it exciting. You never know what's gonna grab your bait next.
Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish): These neon-colored acrobats are a fan favorite for good reason. They fight hard, jump like crazy, and taste even better than they look. We find them around floating debris or weedlines, often in schools. Spring through fall is prime time, but we can catch them year-round here. When you hook one, get ready for some serious runs and aerial displays.
Wahoo: Speed demons of the sea, wahoo are like the sports cars of the fish world. They're streamlined, toothy, and can hit speeds over 60 mph. We target these bad boys by trolling at a good clip, often with deep-diving lures. Fall and winter are peak seasons, but a big 'hoo is always a possibility. Landing one of these is a real notch in your angling belt.
Cobia: These curious bruisers are known for following anything from rays to sharks, so keep your eyes peeled. They've got a bulldogged fighting style that'll test your arms and your drag. We find them year-round, but spring and fall can be especially good. Sight-casting to a cobia is one of the most exciting things you can do with a rod in your hand.
Scamp Grouper: Don't let their smaller size fool you – scamp grouper punch above their weight class when it comes to both fight and flavor. We find these guys hanging around rocky bottom and reefs. They're crafty and quick to duck back into structure, so you've got to be on your toes. The meat is sweet and flaky, making them a top pick for the dinner table.
Atlantic Sailfish: The crown jewel of sportfishing, sailfish are what dreams are made of. With their incredible bills and massive dorsal fins, they're a sight to behold. We get good numbers of them from late fall through spring. Watching a lit-up sailfish chase down a bait is pure adrenaline, and the aerial show they put on once hooked is second to none. It's catch-and-release for these beauties, but the memories last a lifetime.
Look, I could go on all day about the fish, but it's more than that. It's about that moment when the sun's just peeking over the horizon and you're motoring out, full of anticipation. It's the thrill of watching a frigate bird dive, knowing there might be tuna below. It's the camaraderie of cheering on your buddy as they battle the fish of a lifetime. And let's be real – it's also about those fish tacos you'll be bragging about for weeks after. Captain Griffin's got a knack for putting people on fish, sure, but he's also great at making sure everyone has a blast, whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time offshore.
So, what do you say? Ready to make some waves and memories? Fort Pierce is calling, and the fish are waiting. Whether you're looking to check some species off your bucket list, want to stock up the freezer, or just need a day away from it all, Chosen One Fishing Charters has got you covered. Give Captain Griffin a shout and lock in your date – trust me, your future self will thank you. The only thing better than dreaming about that big catch is actually being out there, rod in hand, living it. See you on the water!
Sailfish are the acrobats of the ocean. They're fast, flashy, and put on a show when hooked. Most run 6-8 feet long and 60-80 pounds. We find them in the warmer months, often in 100-200 feet of water along current edges. They hunt in groups, using those big sails to herd bait balls. Sailfish are catch-and-release only, prized for their spectacular jumps and blistering runs. To hook up, we often slow-troll live baits or pitch baits to fish we spot. When a sail strikes, let it run before setting the hook. Be ready for aerial displays - keep the rod tip down when they jump to avoid pulling the hook. Local tip: watch for frigate birds diving - they often lead us right to feeding sailfish.

Cobia are odd-looking fish that put up one heck of a fight. They average 30-50 pounds but can top 100. You'll find them near structure like reefs, wrecks, and buoys in 30-300 feet of water. They migrate through here spring and fall, with the best fishing April to October. Anglers love cobia for their powerful runs and excellent table fare. They're not schooling fish, so spotting them is half the challenge. Look for them shadowing rays, sharks, or turtles near the surface. When you see one, cast a live eel or large jig right in front of its nose. Be ready for a long battle - cobia have serious stamina. Local tip: always have a ready rod with a bucktail jig for quick casts at cruising fish.

Mahi Mahi are a blast to catch and great eating too. They usually run 15-30 pounds but can get up to 60. Look for them near floating debris or weed lines in water 30-200 feet deep. They're aggressive feeders and put up a heck of a fight, often leaping out of the water. Peak season here is July to November. Their meat is mild and flaky - perfect for fish tacos. When you hook one, get ready for some acrobatics. They'll make runs and jump to throw the hook. Keep tension on the line and pump the rod to tire them out. Pro tip: have a gaff ready, as they can be tricky to land with just a net. Their colors fade fast once caught, so snap a quick photo to capture that electric blue and gold.

Scamp are sneaky grouper that love hanging around rocky bottoms and wrecks in 75-300 feet of water. Most run 4-6 pounds, but they can get up to 30. They're not huge, but they make up for it with fight and flavor. Scamp are often called "the captain's fish" because they're so tasty. Peak season is February to May when they move shallower to spawn. To catch them, drop live bait or heavy jigs right on structure. Use sturdy tackle - they'll dive for cover as soon as they're hooked. Scamp fight dirty, so be ready to muscle them away from snags. Here's a local secret: if you find one, there are usually more nearby. Mark the spot and work it thoroughly. The meat is sweet and flaky, perfect for grilling or frying.

Wahoo are speed demons - they can hit 60 mph in short bursts. Most are 3-5 feet long and put up an incredible fight. We find them in deeper offshore waters, often near drop-offs or current breaks. They're here year-round but fishing really heats up July to November. Wahoo are prized for their firm, white meat and for the challenge of catching them. They make blistering runs that'll test your gear and skills. To land one, we troll fast at 12-15 knots with wire leaders - their teeth will slice through mono. I like using diving plugs or skirted ballyhoo. When a wahoo hits, hang on tight and be ready to chase it down. The first run is brutal, but stay patient and you'll bring in one of the ocean's finest eating fish.
