Epic 10-Hour Swordfish Hunt off Pompano Beach
Get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime with Who Cares Sportfishing's Extended Full Day adventure out of Pompano Beach. We're talking 10 solid hours on the water, chasing some of the most sought-after gamefish in the Atlantic. This isn't your average day trip - we're going after the big boys, with swordfish as our main target. But don't worry, we'll also be on the lookout for blackfin tuna, king mackerel, mahi-mahi, and wahoo to keep things interesting. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand and we're here to make sure you have the best shot at landing that trophy catch.
What to Expect on the Water
This full-day trip is designed for anglers who are serious about their fishing. We'll be heading offshore to the deep waters where swordfish lurk, typically 30-50 miles out. The day starts early, so come prepared with sunscreen, snacks, and a good attitude. Our 36-foot custom sportfisher is equipped with top-notch gear and electronics to put you on the fish. The crew will be there every step of the way, from rigging baits to coaching you through the fight when you hook up. Swordfish are known for their endurance, so be ready for a workout if you get lucky. Don't forget your camera - whether it's your first swordfish or your tenth, these memories are worth capturing.
Techniques & Gear Rundown
Swordfishing is a unique game that requires specialized techniques. We'll be using electric reels to drop baits down to depths of 1500 feet or more where these elusive predators feed. The crew will set up a spread of lines at various depths to increase our chances. We use heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with braided line to handle the immense pressure of deep-dropping and fighting these powerful fish. For other species, we might switch to trolling or live baiting depending on the conditions. Our boat is stocked with a variety of lures, live wells for bait, and all the tackle you'll need. Just bring yourself, some food and drinks, and maybe a light jacket for the morning run.
Top Catches This Season
While every trip is different, we've been having a stellar run lately. Last week, Bob from Michigan landed a 250-pound swordfish after a grueling 3-hour fight. The week before, we had a double-header of mahi-mahi that lit up the deck with their electric blue and green colors. King mackerel have been thick, with several fish over 40 pounds hitting the deck. The tuna bite has been consistent too, with blackfins in the 20-30 pound range providing some fast-paced action and great eating. Remember, it's fishing, not catching, but we'll do everything in our power to put you on the fish.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Swordfish: The star of the show, swordfish are the gladiators of the deep. These fish can grow over 1000 pounds, though most we encounter are in the 100-300 pound range. They're known for their long, powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. Swordfish feed primarily at night, but we've dialed in techniques to target them during the day in the deep waters off Pompano Beach. The meat is highly prized for its firm texture and mild flavor.
Blackfin Tuna: These speedsters are a blast to catch and even better to eat. Blackfins typically range from 15-30 pounds in our area, but they punch well above their weight class when hooked. They travel in schools, so when we find them, the action can be fast and furious. Their dark red meat is perfect for sashimi or lightly seared steaks.
King Mackerel: Also known as "kingfish," these toothy predators are a staple of offshore fishing in South Florida. They're known for blistering runs and aerial displays when hooked. Kings can grow over 50 pounds, though most are in the 15-30 pound range. They're great smoked or grilled, just watch out for those razor-sharp teeth when handling them!
Mahi Mahi: One of the most beautiful fish in the ocean, mahi (also called dorado or dolphinfish) are a favorite among anglers and diners alike. They're known for their acrobatic fights and stunning colors when brought aboard. Mahi can grow over 50 pounds, but average 10-20 pounds in our area. They're often found near floating debris or weedlines, and their firm white meat is delicious any way you prepare it.
Wahoo: The speed demons of the ocean, wahoo are prized for both their fighting ability and their tasty fillets. These streamlined predators can swim over 60 mph and are known for scorching runs when hooked. Wahoo tend to be solitary or travel in small groups, so landing one is always a special treat. Their meat is similar to mackerel but milder, making them excellent for grilling or sashimi.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Our Extended Full Day trips offer something for every angler, from novices to seasoned pros. The chance to battle a swordfish is a bucket-list item for many, and our experienced crew gives you the best shot at making that dream a reality. But even if the swords aren't cooperating, the variety of other species we target ensures you'll have plenty of action throughout the day. The camaraderie that develops over a long day on the water is something special too - there's nothing like sharing fish stories and watching the sunset after a successful trip. Plus, with our comfortable boat and professional crew, you can focus on fishing while we take care of the rest.
Time to Book Your Spot
If you're ready for a serious day of offshore fishing, our Extended Full Day trip is calling your name. With 10 hours on the water, you'll have plenty of time to try different techniques and target a variety of species. Remember, swordfish are the main event, but we're always flexible and will adjust our strategy based on what's biting. Spaces fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to book your adventure. Grab five of your fishing buddies (or make some new ones) and join us for an unforgettable day on the water. Just remember, the deposit is non-refundable, so check those calendars and get ready for some world-class fishing off Pompano Beach. See you on the boat!

Blackfin Tuna
Blackfin tuna are the smallest of the tuna family, usually weighing 15-30 pounds. They're fast swimmers and hard fighters, making them a blast to catch. You'll find them in deeper waters, often around 100-300 feet deep near reefs or underwater structures. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but we can target them year-round here. Blackfin love to chase bait fish, so we often spot them by looking for birds diving or bait schools on the surface. Anglers enjoy blackfin for their sporty nature and excellent eating quality - the meat is similar to yellowfin tuna. When we're after them, I like to use light tackle and small, fast-moving lures. A local trick is chumming with live pilchards to get them fired up, then casting into the frenzy. It's an exciting way to fish and can lead to some crazy action when a school moves in.
King Mackerel
King mackerel, or "kingfish," are torpedo-shaped speedsters that'll test your gear and skills. These fish typically run 10-30 pounds but can top 50. Look for them in coastal waters from 20-150 feet deep, often near reefs or wrecks. They're migratory, so we see more of them in spring and fall as they pass through. Kings are known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Anglers love targeting them for the thrill of the fight and their good eating quality. To catch kings, we usually troll with live bait or artificial lures. One trick I've found effective is using a stinger rig - it's a double-hook setup that helps hook these toothy predators when they strike the tail of the bait. Kings can be leader-shy, so we often use light wire to prevent bite-offs. When the bite is on, it's non-stop action that'll keep you on your toes all day.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi mahi are one of the most colorful and acrobatic fish you'll ever see. They're fast-growing and usually weigh 15-30 pounds, though bigger ones aren't uncommon. You'll find them in open water, often near floating debris or weed lines. Summer and early fall are peak seasons here. Mahi are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, making them a favorite for both novice and experienced anglers. They're also excellent eating fish, with firm white meat that's great for grilling. When we're targeting mahi, we look for birds or floating objects and troll nearby. A local tip: if you hook one, keep it in the water next to the boat. Mahi often travel in schools, and the hooked fish will attract others. Casting light lures or live bait to the school can lead to multiple hookups and some crazy action on the boat.
Swordfish
Swordfish are the ultimate deep-sea challenge. These massive predators can weigh over 300 pounds and put up an epic fight. We find them in deep offshore waters, often 1,000 feet or more. Unlike many species, we can target swords day or night. They're most active after dark, when they come up to feed. Anglers love swordfish for the sheer battle and bragging rights - landing one is a real accomplishment. The meat is also top-notch, with a firm texture perfect for grilling. When we're after swords, we use heavy tackle and drop baits way down deep. Lights on the line help attract them in the darkness. One local tip: be patient. Swordfish bites can be subtle at first, so watch your rod tip closely for any slight movement. When you hook up, settle in for a long fight - these fish have incredible stamina and won't give up easily.
Wahoo Fish
Wahoo are the speed demons of the ocean, capable of blistering runs that'll make your reel scream. These sleek, torpedo-shaped fish typically weigh 30-50 pounds but can get much bigger. We find them in deep, open water, often near drop-offs or underwater structures. Late summer and fall are prime wahoo seasons here. Anglers love wahoo for their incredible speed and hard-fighting nature. They're also prized for their firm, white meat that's excellent for grilling or sashimi. To catch wahoo, we usually troll at high speeds, up to 15 knots, using lures designed to skip across the surface. Wire leaders are a must - wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that'll slice through mono in a heartbeat. Here's a local trick: when a wahoo hits, don't set the hook immediately. Let it run for a few seconds to make sure it's got the lure, then hang on tight!
