Reel in the Action: AM Offshore Adventure

Ready to start your day with a serious adrenaline rush? Our Private Half-Day Offshore Fishing Trip is your ticket to some of the best action-packed angling around. We're talking about the kind of fishing that'll have you grinning from ear to ear and sharing stories for years to come. With a max of five guests, you'll have plenty of elbow room to battle those big ones without feeling cramped. So grab your shades and let's hit the blue water!

What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're out on the open water as the sun climbs, the salty breeze in your face, and that unmistakable buzz of anticipation in the air. Our USCG-licensed captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, and they're itching to put you on the fish. We're not messing around with subpar gear either - we're talking quality rods, reels, and all the tackle you need to land the big ones. And forget about hassling with licenses or bait runs; we've got you covered with fresh live bait and all the paperwork sorted.

How We Roll

Out here, we're all about the offshore game. We'll be trolling primarily, dragging lines behind the boat to entice those pelagic predators. It's a technique that's perfect for targeting species like Mahi Mahi and Wahoo. The captain might also have us doing some deep dropping if the conditions are right - that's how you get into the really tasty bottom dwellers like Mutton Snapper. And let's not forget about chunking for tuna - nothing beats watching a Blackfin crash a well-placed chunk bait. Just remember, the ocean's always got a few tricks up its sleeve, so we might switch things up to keep the rods bending.

Straight from the Anglers

"Had an awesome day out with the guys! The crew was top-notch—laid-back, friendly, and really knew how to make the best of the day. Weather kept us from heading offshore, but they adjusted the plan and still put us on plenty of fish. I'll absolutely be booking with them again next time I'm in Miami!" - Justin

"Captain Danny gave my 14-year-old son and me a fishing trip to remember! He put in the extra effort to make sure we were on the fish, constantly adjusting tactics and sharing his know-how along the way. The boat was spotless, fully outfitted, and clearly kept in top shape. From start to finish, Captain Danny was on time, professional, and genuinely dedicated to making the day a great one. We wrapped up with amazing memories and a solid haul—highly recommend!" - Stephen

"Had an awesome time out on the water with my sons! We stayed busy the whole trip, reeling in a mix of big and small fish. The captain filleted our kingfish and even pointed us to a local spot that cooked it up for us—delicious! His first mate knew his stuff and kept the energy up between catches. Definitely a trip we'd do again!" - Shannon

Fish on the Menu

Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish): These acrobatic fighters are a favorite among anglers for good reason. Known for their vibrant colors and high-flying antics, Mahi can turn a slow day into an instant party. They're typically in the 15-30 pound range, but we occasionally hook into some real bruisers. Spring through fall is prime time, and they're absolute dynamite on the dinner plate.

Wahoo: If you're after pure speed, Wahoo is your fish. These streamlined torpedoes can peel line off a reel faster than you can blink. They're most common in the warmer months, and while they average 30-50 pounds, hooking into a 100-pound 'hoo is the stuff of fishing legends. Their firm, white meat is prized by seafood lovers.

Mutton Snapper: Don't let the name fool you - these guys are no pushovers. Muttons are crafty bottom dwellers that put up a stubborn fight. We typically find them in the 5-15 pound range, but 20-pounders aren't unheard of. They're available year-round but really shine in the late spring and early summer. As for taste, many folks consider mutton the cream of the snapper crop.

Blackfin Tuna: These pocket rockets might be smaller than their yellowfin cousins, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fight and flavor. Blackfins usually run 15-30 pounds and are most abundant in the cooler months. When we get into a school, it's non-stop action that'll leave your arms burning (in the best way possible). Sushi lovers, take note - blackfin is top-tier stuff.

Time to Lock It In

Look, I could go on all day about the thrill of offshore fishing, but nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, our Half-Day AM trip is the perfect way to scratch that fishing itch without eating up your whole day. Plus, with the captain handling all the cleaning and filleting, you'll be ready to hit up a local restaurant with your fresh catch by lunchtime. So what are you waiting for? Grab your spot now and let's make some waves!

Fishing Heals Hearts

quotes

Thank you for such a meaningful experience. My 7-year-old son had the time of his life, and it was unforgettable for my husband and father-in-law as well. It was their first fishing trip together, and especially emotional since my father-in-law is battling cancer. The crew made it extra special—and they caught tons of fish! A memory we’ll always treasure.

Family Fun Afloat

quotes

Captain Danny and his first mate were incredibly kind and welcoming. Since I was bringing my wife—who sometimes gets seasick—and our two younger kids, Danny took the time to help us reschedule for a calmer day after our original booking showed rougher conditions. While there's never a guarantee with fishing, we did start off by reeling in some larger bait fish, and the crew had quality gear and plenty of lines in the water while trolling. Captain Danny really put in the effort to locate bigger catches, but it just wasn’t in the cards that day. When things slowed down and the kids started getting a bit restless, he made the smart call to head closer to shore. That move paid off—we caught a bunch of smaller fish, which kept the excitement going for everyone. If I had one suggestion, it would be to have a few more rods in the water during that inshore action. We didn’t bring home any trophies, but the family memories we made were more than enough.

Thoughtful Thrills

quotes

Danny and Kai were warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped on board. Both clearly know their stuff and put in the effort to help us catch as many fish as possible. The boat was spotless and well-stocked with everything we needed. We took our family out for a half-day trip, and after spending most of it targeting larger fish, my youngest—just 5 years old—struggled to reel one in. Danny noticed and made a thoughtful shift in plans. He stopped the boat and took time to fish for smaller ones she could manage, making sure she had her moment too. That kind of attention makes all the difference. Highly recommend!

Atlantic Butterfish

Blackfin tuna pack a punch in a small package. These speedsters rarely top 40 inches or 50 pounds, but they fight like fish twice their size. You'll find them in warm coastal waters from the Gulf of Mexico up to Massachusetts, with peak action here in fall, winter, and spring. Blackfins often school with skipjack, hunting squid and small fish near the continental shelf. They grow fast but live short - a 5-year-old is considered ancient! Anglers love them for both sport and table fare. Their meat is top-notch whether grilled fresh or canned. To land one, try vertical jigging or chunking with live bait. Use light leaders - these guys have sharp eyes. A 30-pound fluorocarbon and 5/0 circle hook is a good starting point. Chumming with live pilchards can really fire up a bite. Just be ready for screaming reels when they hit! Look for blackfins in water over 68°F, often near structure or temperature breaks. They migrate to cooler areas in summer. Interestingly, they'll even eat their own kind sometimes. When you hook up, get ready for an arm-wrenching fight all the way to the boat!

Blackfin Tuna

Blackfin Tuna

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Blackfin tuna are the smallest in the Thunnus family, typically maxing out around 39 inches and 46 pounds. You'll find them in warm coastal waters, often near continental shelves. These guys are fast growers but short-lived - a 5-year-old is considered old! They're popular targets because they put up a fierce fight and taste great. Look for them in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and up to Massachusetts. Peak season here is fall through spring. Blackfins often school with skipjack tuna. To catch them, try vertical jigging or chunking. Use #30 fluorocarbon leaders and 5/0 to 6/0 circle hooks - they've got sharp eyes. A good trick is chumming with live pilchards to draw them in. Just watch out for their teeth when you're handling them! These tuna prefer waters over 68°F. They migrate to more temperate areas in summer. Interestingly, they can be cannibalistic despite having a varied diet. Overall, blackfins offer exciting action and great eating. Just be ready for a workout when you hook one!

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mutton Snapper

Atlantic butterfish are small but tasty targets, usually 6 to 9 inches long and weighing just a few ounces. You'll find them from Newfoundland down to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. They hang out near the bottom, in midwater, and even at the surface in both salt and brackish areas. These little guys are most active in summer, with July being the peak month. They're often caught as bycatch when jigging for squid. Butterfish are quick growers and spawn close to shore, which keeps their populations stable. To target them, light tackle and small hooks are key. Try jigging near structure or use small baits. They feed on tiny crustaceans and fish, so match your offerings to their size. The meat is rich and flavorful - great for steaming, baking, or frying. One cool fact: juvenile butterfish spend their first summer living among jellyfish for protection. When you're cleaning them, look for the distinctive blue lines near their eyes. Just be aware there are regulations on commercial catches, so check local rules before keeping any. For a fun, laid-back day of fishing, butterfish are hard to beat!

Mutton Snapper

Wahoo Fish

Mutton snapper are prized catches, known for their fighting spirit and delicious flavor. Adults usually top out around 20 inches, though some monsters push 37 inches and 34 pounds. You'll find them near reefs, mangroves, and inlets with good tidal flow. They love sandy areas too - their color even shifts from pink to grey to blend in. These fish are loners, rarely seen in big groups. They'll eat anything from small fish to octopus, feeding day and night. To catch muttons, fresh bait and light tackle are key. Try a knocker rig or let a jig drift in the current. In shallow water, floating bait in a chum slick works wonders. When hooked, muttons make a beeline for structure. The real thrill is seeing that flash of pink as you reel them up through clear water. They're most common from Florida to South America, typically in 130-230 foot depths. Spring and summer are prime seasons. For the best shot, focus on areas just outside major reef formations where the bottom transitions to sand.
