Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Wahoo Fishing Charters
49 lb wahoo caught on an afternoon deep sea fishing charter during the end of September 2022!

Our deep sea fishing charters have been seeing an increase of good fishing since the passage of Hurricane Ian. The storm left backwards currents offshore in its wake, which have flushed in a steady supply of bait with Mahi mahi, kingfish, barracuda, sailfish, and wahoo in tow! We have been finding plenty of action with all of these Bluewater species within 3 miles of the beach. Our most consistent action has come from trolling with dead baits, but live bait drifting has also been productive for bottom fishing species such as yellowtail snapper. Now that cold fronts have started sweeping through the area, we expect the consistent Fall migration of pelagic species to continue.

Inshore Fishing Charters

Snook Fishing Charters
24″ snook landed in a back canal during one of our inshore charters in September 2022!

Our inshore fishing has really picked up with the onset of the Fall baitfish migration along the intracoastal waterway. Mullet are the primary forage species, and they have been migrating through our area whenever winds clock out of the North or Northeast. Following these schools of mullet are hungry snook, tarpon, jacks, sharks, and snapper looking for an easy meal. The mullet run is one of the most exciting times to go inshore fishing during the Fall months, even when the fish aren’t biting. We target these species during the mullet run by using cut bait fished near the bottom around the massive baitfish schools. Delray and Boynton Beach are especially productive areas during the Fall mullet run in 2022.

Winter/ Spring 2019 Delray Beach Fishing Forecast

Delray Beach Fishing Charters
A nice pair of snook for these happy customers!

It is an exciting time of year for fishermen down here in South Florida. There has been no shortage of trophy catches during our recent fishing charters in the Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach areas. The best bet during deep sea fishing trips has been targeting sailfish with live baits or trolling for wahoo. This is typically the case this time of year as cold fronts trigger baitfish migrations through our area. As long as the cold fronts keep moving through, we will continue to catch these two prized gamefish in offshore waters during our fishing charters. When the ocean is too rough to get out deep sea fishing, we have been having lots of action on light tackle spinning rods during our inshore trips.

Boca Raton Fishing Charters
Nice wahoo caught on the last full moon during a deep sea fishing trip.

The best inshore fishing has been live baiting for snook during higher tides or casting and trolling swimming plugs for bluefish and jacks. Other interesting species we have been catching around Delray Beach and Boynton Beach have been Southern Sennet, barracuda, and the occasional tarpon. The water temps are pushing 70 degrees, which means we are settled in nicely to our Winter/early Spring fishing patterns. Expect the kingfish, wahoo, snook, and tarpon action to remain steady over the next month or two until water temps increase and new species start to show up.

Boynton Beach Deep Sea Fishing
A great catch for this father/son duo!
