Full-Day Offshore Adventure: Big Game Fishing

Get ready for a serious day of offshore action with Chosen One Fishing Charters. We're talking about an 8-hour trip that'll take you way out where the big boys swim. Captain Remus Griffin knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's got a knack for putting clients on fish. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to the offshore game, this trip is your chance to tangle with some of the ocean's most prized fighters.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll be pushing off early, so come caffeinated and ready to roll. The first hour or so is all about getting to the good spots – use this time to get your sea legs and maybe catch a nap. Once we're in prime territory, it's all hands on deck. We'll be using a mix of trolling and live bait fishing, depending on what's biting. Captain Griffin's got a sixth sense for finding the fish, so trust his calls. You might be working the spread one minute, then scrambling to pitch baits the next. It's non-stop action out here, folks.

Offshore Tactics & Gear

We're not messing around with light tackle on this trip. We're talking heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with braided line that can handle anything from a feisty mahi to a stubborn grouper. For trolling, we'll set out a spread of lures and rigged baits – keep your eyes peeled for that telltale splash or bend in the rod. When we're live baiting, it's all about presentation. Captain Griffin will show you how to hook and deploy live bait for maximum effectiveness. And let's not forget kite fishing – it's a game-changer for sailfish and other surface feeders. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques; the crew's always ready to lend a hand.

Top Catches This Season

The offshore grounds we fish are teeming with gamefish, and each season brings its own hot bite. Mahi Mahi (dolphin) have been on fire lately, with some real bruisers in the 30-pound class showing up. We've also been seeing a solid wahoo run, with a few lucky anglers landing fish over 50 pounds. The bottom fishing has been productive too, with scamp grouper and mutton snapper filling the fish box. And for the billfish enthusiasts, sailfish have been making regular appearances, providing some epic catch-and-release action.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish): These acrobatic fighters are a favorite for good reason. They're fast, they jump like crazy, and they're absolutely delicious. We usually find them near floating debris or weed lines. When you hook one, get ready for a show – they'll change colors as they fight, flashing brilliant blues and greens. Best of all, where there's one, there's often a whole school.

Wahoo: If you're after pure speed, wahoo is your fish. These streamlined predators can hit speeds over 60 mph and will make your reel scream. They're typically loners, but when we find them, it's often a quick bite that can result in multiple hookups. The meat is top-notch, with a firm texture that's great for grilling.

Cobia: These curious fish often swim right up to the boat, but don't let their laid-back appearance fool you. Once hooked, cobia turn into bulldogs, using their broad bodies to pull hard and deep. They're most common in the warmer months and love structure, so we often find them around buoys or floating debris.

Scamp Grouper: These bottom-dwellers are prized for their sweet, white flesh. Scamp are notorious for diving back into their rocky lairs once hooked, so you'll need to muscle them up quickly. It's a true test of angler vs. fish, and the reward is some of the best-eating fish in the sea.

Atlantic Sailfish: The crown jewel of our offshore waters, sailfish are the acrobats of the sea. They're known for their stunning aerial displays and that iconic sail-like dorsal fin. We practice catch-and-release with these beauties, but the photo ops are second to none. Fall and winter are prime sailfish season, but we can find them year-round with the right conditions.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish – though that's a big part of it. Our clients rave about the overall experience. There's something special about being miles offshore, surrounded by nothing but blue water and sky. The anticipation of what might hit your line next keeps everyone on their toes. And let's be real, the bragging rights that come with landing a trophy fish are pretty sweet. But what really sets us apart is Captain Griffin's expertise and the crew's dedication to making sure everyone on board has a blast, whether you're reeling in your first mahi or your fiftieth.

Learn more about the species

Atlantic Sailfish

Atlantic sailfish are among the fastest fish in the ocean, known for their spectacular leaps and fights. They average 6-8 feet long and 50-80 pounds. Find them in warm offshore waters, often near the surface down to about 60 feet. Winter and early spring are peak seasons in many areas. Anglers prize sailfish for their acrobatic displays and the challenge of the catch. To target them, slow-troll live baits like ballyhoo or mullet. Bright-colored skirts help attract attention. Here's a local trick: when a sailfish appears in your spread, don't set the hook immediately. Let it grab the bait and turn - then it's game on. Be ready for multiple jumps and long runs. Remember, most sailfish are released, so have your camera ready for a quick photo before sending it back.

Cobia

Cobia are strong, solitary fish often mistaken for sharks due to their similar shape. They average 3-4 feet and 30-50 pounds. You'll find them near buoys, wrecks, and floating debris in coastal waters 30-70 feet deep. Spring and early summer are best as cobia migrate inshore to spawn. Anglers love cobia for their powerful fights and excellent table fare. To catch them, sight fish near the surface or drop baits near structure. Live eels or large jigs work well. Here's a local trick: when you spot cobia, don't rush to cast. They're curious fish - sometimes just leaving your bait in the water will draw them in. Be ready for a long, tough battle once hooked. Cobia have great endurance and often make multiple runs before coming to the boat.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi are colorful, fast-growing fish that put up an exciting fight. They average 3-4 feet long and 15-30 pounds. You'll find them near floating debris and weed lines in warm offshore waters. Summer and early fall are prime seasons. Mahi are prized for their acrobatic jumps and delicious white meat. To catch them, troll with ballyhoo or squid near the surface. A local trick is to look for frigate birds - they often lead you right to the mahi. Once you hook one, keep the boat moving forward slowly. More mahi will often follow the hooked fish, giving you a chance at multiple catches. Just be ready for their initial burst of speed when they take the bait. Mahi make for great eating too, with a mild, sweet flavor that's hard to beat.

Scamp Grouper

Scamp grouper are prized for their sweet, delicate flavor - some say they're the best-tasting grouper. They're typically smaller than other groupers, averaging 2-3 feet and 5-10 pounds. Look for them near rocky bottoms and reefs in 150-300 feet of water. Spring and fall are usually the most productive seasons. Anglers enjoy the challenge of pulling these strong fish from deep structure. To catch scamp, use heavy tackle and drop baits straight to the bottom. Live pinfish or squid work well. A local tip: when you feel a bite, reel fast and hard to pull the fish away from the structure before it can hole up. Once you get them off the bottom, the fight's almost won. Just be careful not to reel too quickly from deep water - their air bladders can expand, making release difficult.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are sleek, torpedo-shaped fish that can reach speeds up to 60 mph. They typically run 4-5 feet long and 30-50 pounds. Look for them in deep, blue offshore waters near drop-offs and underwater structures. Fall is prime wahoo season in most areas. Anglers love wahoo for their blistering runs and aerial displays when hooked. Their firm, white meat is also excellent eating. To target wahoo, try high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with wire leaders - their razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono. Use bright-colored lures like purple/black or blue/white. A local tip: when you hook one, don't try to horse it in. Let it make its initial run, then slowly work it back to the boat. Patience is key with these speedy fighters.
