Reel in the Big Ones on Pompano Beach

Get ready for a fast-paced fishing adventure just off the coast of Pompano Beach! Our half-day guided trip packs all the excitement of offshore angling into a compact four-hour excursion. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, you'll have a blast targeting some of Florida's most sought-after gamefish. Our expert crew will set you up for success, handling all the gear and showing you the ropes so you can focus on the thrill of the catch.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we clear the inlet, it's go-time. We'll be trolling for the big boys - Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, and Tuna are all on the menu. The action can be non-stop out here, so keep your eyes peeled and your rod ready. When that reel starts screaming, you'll feel the rush of adrenaline as you battle your catch. Between strikes, soak in the stunning views of the coastline and enjoy the salt spray on your face. It's the perfect taste of offshore fishing without committing to a full day at sea.

Techniques That Land Fish

We use a mix of trolling and live bait fishing to maximize your chances of hooking up. Our crew will set out a spread of lines, often with brightly colored lures or rigged ballyhoo to entice the predators. When we spot a school of bait or get word of some action nearby, we might switch to live bait tactics. We'll show you how to pitch a goggle-eye or threadfin to a cruising Cobia or how to work a popper for surface-busting Tuna. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques - our team will walk you through every step, from setting the hook to working the fish to the boat.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Skipjack Tuna are the speedsters of the sea. These torpedo-shaped fish can hit speeds of 40 mph and put up an amazing fight on light tackle. They typically run in schools, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Skipjacks are most abundant in the warmer months and are a blast for anglers of all skill levels.

King Mackerel, or "Kingfish," are the prize of many offshore trips. These toothy predators can grow over 5 feet long and are known for their blistering runs. We often target them by slow-trolling live baits near the surface. The best King Mackerel fishing typically happens in the spring and fall when they migrate through our waters.

Mahi Mahi, also called Dorado or Dolphinfish, are the acrobats of the offshore world. Their vibrant colors and high-flying antics make them a favorite among anglers. We often find them near floating debris or weed lines. Mahi can be caught year-round in South Florida, but the peak season is typically late spring through summer.

Cobia are the bulldogs of the sea. These powerful fish are often mistaken for sharks when first spotted near the surface. They're curious by nature and can sometimes be sight-fished - a thrilling experience when you see that big brown fish coming up to investigate your bait. Cobia fishing is generally best in the spring and fall.

Swordfish are the holy grail for many offshore anglers. These deep-dwelling giants can grow over 1,000 pounds and put up epic battles that can last hours. While we don't specifically target them on our half-day trips, there's always a chance of hooking into one of these behemoths. If we do, it'll be the fishing story of a lifetime!

Learn more about the species

Cobia

Cobia are the bruisers of our nearshore waters, with most fish running 30-50 pounds. These powerful swimmers love structure, so we target them around buoys, wrecks, and even big rays or sharks. Spring and early summer are prime time as they migrate up the coast. Cobia put up a dogged, bulldog-like fight - be ready for some serious pulling! They're also excellent table fare, with firm white meat. To land one, try slow-trolling live eels or big jigs near the surface. Here's a local secret: when you spot a cobia, don't cast right at it. These curious fish will often investigate a bait that lands nearby, giving you a better hook-up.

King Mackerel

King mackerel are the speedsters of our local waters, often hitting 40 mph when they're after bait. Most kings we catch run 15-30 pounds, but 50-pounders aren't unheard of. Look for them in 30-150 feet of water, especially around reefs, wrecks, and bait schools. Spring and fall are prime seasons as they migrate. Kings are known for blistering runs and spectacular jumps - hang on tight when one hits! Their firm, slightly oily meat is great for smoking. To land a big one, try slow-trolling live blue runners or mullet. Kings have razor-sharp teeth, so always use a wire leader. And keep your fingers away from those chompers when you're unhooking them!

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi mahi are the acrobats of the open ocean, known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. These colorful fighters average 15-30 pounds but can top 50. Look for them around floating weed lines and debris, especially in waters over 68°F. They're most active in summer and early fall. Mahi are prized for both their fight and their delicious, mild white meat. They're aggressive feeders, often striking at anything that moves. For a real thrill, try sight-casting to them with light tackle. My go-to trick is to keep a live bait ready - when you hook one mahi, leave it in the water. The whole school will often stick around, giving you a shot at multiple fish.

Skipjack Tuna

Skipjack tuna are small but mighty fighters, usually weighing 15-20 pounds. These speedsters love warm surface waters and often school up with juvenile yellowfin. Look for them around floating debris or following birds - they're suckers for anything that looks like fleeing bait fish. We typically find skipjack within 30 miles of shore here, especially in summer months. They put up a great fight on light tackle, making long runs and sometimes even jumping. The meat's good eating too, with a rich flavor perfect for grilling. Pro tip: when you see a school busting on the surface, cast a small chrome jig right into the frenzy. Let it sink a bit, then rip it back fast - skipjack can't resist chasing it down.

Swordfish

Swordfish are the true monsters of the deep, averaging 200-300 pounds but capable of topping 1,000. We find them in waters 1,000 feet or deeper, often 30+ miles offshore. They feed mostly at night, so that's when we target them. Swordfish are prized for their hard-fighting ability and excellent meat. Catching one is a true test of endurance - battles can last hours. We use specialized deep-drop gear with lights to attract them in the darkness. For bait, nothing beats a whole squid. Pro tip: when you feel a bite, don't set the hook right away. Let the swordfish eat for a bit, then slowly increase drag until the line comes tight. Patience is key with these deep-water giants.
