Premier Full-Day Offshore Fishing in Atlantic Beach

Reel in Big Game on an Atlantic Beach Adventure

Ready to chase some serious fish off the Carolina coast? Our full-day offshore trip is your ticket to hooking into some of the Atlantic's most prized catches. We're talking monster Mahi Mahi, hard-fighting Amberjack, and tasty Albacore Tuna. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a day of non-stop action. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line in the big blue, we've got you covered with top-notch gear and all the know-how you need. So grab your buddies, slap on some sunscreen, and let's hit the Gulf Stream for some world-class fishing!

What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard our well-equipped charter boat, you're in for 8 solid hours of offshore fishing action. We'll cruise out past the breakers into the deep blue waters where the big boys play. Our seasoned captain will use his local knowledge and latest tech to put you right on the fish. You'll be using our top-of-the-line rods, reels, and tackle – all included in your trip. No need to lug your own gear or worry about having the right setup. We've got everything dialed in for the species we're after.

As we troll the productive waters off Atlantic Beach, keep your eyes peeled for birds working the surface – that's often a dead giveaway for some fish-feeding frenzy action below. When we hook up, it's all hands on deck! You'll take turns reeling in the big ones, with our mate there to coach you through the fight. And the best part? We'll clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day, so you can take home some fresh fish for the grill.

Techniques for Offshore Success

Out here in the Gulf Stream, trolling is the name of the game. We'll be pulling a spread of baits and lures behind the boat, mimicking the look of a school of baitfish. It's like ringing the dinner bell for the predators we're after. We use a mix of natural baits like Ballyhoo and artificial lures to cover our bases. You might hear us talking about "knocker rigs" for Amberjack or "cedar plugs" for Tuna – don't worry if it sounds like Greek to you, we'll explain everything as we go.

For the Mahi Mahi, we'll keep our eyes peeled for floating debris or weed lines. These fish love to hang around structure, and when we find a good patch, it's not uncommon to hook into multiple fish at once. That's when things really get exciting! We might also do some deep dropping for Amberjack, using heavy weights to get our baits down to the shipwrecks and reefs where these bruisers hang out. It's a workout, but man, is it worth it when you feel that first big pull!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are a favorite target for good reason. Known locally as "Kings," these fish can grow up to 5 feet long and put up one heck of a fight. They're famous for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Spring and fall are prime time for King Mackerel, but we can find them throughout the summer too. Their firm, flavorful meat makes for excellent eating, whether you grill it, smoke it, or make some killer fish dip.

Mahi Mahi: Also called Dorado or Dolphinfish (though they're not related to dolphins at all), these are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. Their electric blue and gold colors are a sight to behold. Mahi are known for their acrobatic fights and delicious, mild-flavored meat. They're often found in pairs or schools, so when we hook one, be ready for more action! Summer is the best time to target these guys, and they can range from 15 to 30 pounds on average.

Greater Amberjack: Fondly called "reef donkeys" by anglers, these powerful fish will test your strength and endurance. They love to hang around wrecks and reefs, and when hooked, they'll head straight back to their structure trying to break you off. Expect a deep, powerful fight that'll leave your arms burning. Amberjack season typically runs from May to July, and again from August to October. While they're not known as the best table fare, smaller ones can be quite tasty if prepared right.

Albacore Tuna: These "footballs" of the sea are prized for their fighting ability and excellent eating quality. Albacore are smaller than their Yellowfin cousins, usually weighing in between 10-30 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and taste. We often find them in schools, so multiple hookups are common. They're famous for their long, "screaming" runs that'll have your reel singing. Albacore are most abundant in our waters during the spring and fall migrations.
