Species You'll Want to Hook
Black Grouper: These bruisers are the heavyweights of the reef. Known for their brute strength and delicious white meat, hooking into a Black Grouper is like arm-wrestling a submarine. They love to hang around structure, so when we drop lines near wrecks or reefs, be ready for a serious battle. These guys can grow over 4 feet long and weigh up to 180 pounds. The best part? They're available year-round, with peak season in the warmer months.
Spanish Mackerel: If you're looking for fast-paced action, Spanish Mackerel are your ticket. These sleek, silver bullets are known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps. We often catch them while trolling, and their aggressive feeding frenzies can lead to multiple hookups at once. They're typically in the 2-4 pound range, but even the smaller ones put up a great fight. Spring and fall are prime times for Spanish Mackerel, and they're not only fun to catch but also make for some fantastic eating.
King Mackerel: Also known as "Kingfish," these speedsters are the larger cousins of Spanish Mackerel. Kings are prized for their smoking runs and are a favorite target for tournament anglers. We'll often troll for them with live bait or artificial lures. When a King Mackerel hits, hold on tight – they've been known to spool entire reels in seconds! These fish can grow up to 5 feet long and weigh over 50 pounds. The bigger ones, called "smokers," are usually caught in the warmer months.
Mahi Mahi: Also known as Dolphinfish (but not related to dolphins), Mahi Mahi are the beauty queens of the offshore world. With their vibrant colors and acrobatic fights, hooking a Mahi is like tying into a living rainbow. We often find them near floating debris or weed lines. These fish are known for their spectacular aerial displays and can grow up to 30 pounds in our waters. Mahi Mahi are most abundant during the summer months, and their sweet, flaky meat makes for some of the best fish tacos you'll ever taste.
Greater Amberjack: Fondly known as "reef donkeys" by anglers, Greater Amberjacks are the bulldogs of the deep. These powerful fish hang around wrecks and reefs, and when hooked, they head straight back to their structure – it's a tug-of-war you won't soon forget. Amberjacks can grow over 100 pounds, and even the smaller ones will give your arms a serious workout. They're available year-round, but the bigger ones tend to show up in the cooler months. While they're not the prettiest fish in the sea, their strong fights make them a favorite among serious anglers.
Time to Book Your Spot
Alright, folks – if you're itching to bend a rod and feel that offshore breeze, it's time to lock in your trip. Our 2.5-hour private charter is perfect for families, groups of friends, or even solo anglers looking for a personalized experience. Remember, we're limited to 5 guests per trip, so these slots fill up fast, especially during peak season. Give us a shout to check availability and get ready for some serious fish-slaying action. Whether you're after a trophy catch or just want to enjoy a day on the water with great company, we've got you covered. Don't let the big one get away – book your Blue Dream Fishing adventure today and start practicing your fish stories!

Learn more about the species
Black Grouper
Greater amberjack are real bruisers - these powerful fish can grow up to 6 feet long and put up one heck of a fight. You'll find them hanging around wrecks, reefs and other structures in depths from 60 to 240 feet. Spring and fall are prime times to target these guys as they move to shallower waters. Anglers love 'em for their sheer strength and stamina on the line. Their firm white meat is also prized for the dinner table. To land one of these brutes, you'll want heavy tackle - 50 pound test line minimum. Live bait like blue runners or sardines work great. My pro tip: when you feel that first hit, reel fast and set the hook hard. These fish will dive for cover quick, so you've gotta turn their heads before they wrap you up in the structure. It's an arm-wrestling match after that, but man is it fun when you finally bring one of these beauties to the boat.
Greater Amberjack
Black grouper are the kings of the reef. These big, muscular fish hang out around rocky bottoms and wrecks in 60-250 feet of water. They're most active in warmer months but can be caught year-round. Anglers target them for their brute strength and excellent table quality. When you hook a big black grouper, it's like trying to winch up a Volkswagen - they use every ounce of power to dive back to their rocky lairs. To catch 'em, you need heavy tackle - 80-100 lb braid with a sturdy rod. Live bait like pinfish or grunts works best. My top tip: when you feel the bite, reel down fast and lift hard to pull them away from the structure. Once you get them up a bit, it's a tug-of-war to the surface. The fight is only half over when you see color - big grouper often make one last powerful dive. Stick with it though, and you'll be rewarded with some of the best-eating fish in the sea.
King Mackerel
King mackerel are speedsters that'll make your reel scream. These toothy predators cruise in schools near the surface, usually in 20-40 feet of water around reefs and ledges. Spring and fall are best as they migrate. Anglers love kings for their blistering runs - these fish can peel off 100 yards of line in seconds. They're also excellent eating when prepared right. To target kings, trolling with live bait like blue runners or dead cigar minnows is deadly. Use wire leaders - those razor sharp teeth will slice through mono. My go-to setup is a downrigger with a big blue runner about 15 feet down. Kings often sky on the bait, so be ready for some surface action too. When a king hits, let it run for a few seconds before setting the hook. Then hang on tight and enjoy the ride! Just watch those teeth when you're landing them - they can do some damage if you're not careful.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Spanish mackerel are the perfect light tackle target. These small but speedy fish hang out in coastal waters, often less than a mile from shore. Look for them around inlets, piers and bait schools, especially in spring and fall as they migrate. Anglers love Spanish macs for their fast action and willingness to hit lures. They're also excellent table fare - sweet, flaky meat that's great grilled or smoked. To catch 'em, use light spinning gear with 10-15 lb test. Small shiny lures like Gotcha plugs or Clark spoons work great. My favorite technique is to find a bait school, then cast just beyond it and retrieve fast. Spanish macs will often sky out of the water to nail your lure. When you hook one, be ready for some zippy runs and even a few jumps. It's non-stop action when you find a school - you can easily catch dozens in a short time. Just mind the size and bag limits so we keep 'em around for years to come.
Spanish Mackerel
Mahi mahi are a blast to catch - they're fast, acrobatic, and absolutely gorgeous with their electric blue and gold colors. You'll find them in warm offshore waters, often near floating debris or weed lines. Spring through fall is prime time as the water warms up. Mahi are famous for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, which is why anglers love chasing them. Their meat is also top-notch - mild, firm and versatile for cooking. To target mahi, look for birds working the water - that's a dead giveaway. Trolling with ballyhoo or small lures works great. My favorite trick is chumming them up to the boat, then sight-casting with light tackle. Use 20-30 lb test line and be ready for some crazy jumps. Once you hook one, leave your bait in the water - mahi travel in schools and you might hook into several fish from the same spot. There's nothing quite like the thrill of multiple mahi going crazy around the boat!
