Reel in the Big Ones: 6-Hour Offshore Adventure

Get ready to chase some serious fish on this extended 6-hour offshore trip out of St. Mary's, GA. We're talking about heading up to 30 miles out where the big boys play. Whether you're after hard-fighting kings, tasty snappers, or anything in between, Captain Mike knows exactly where to put you on the action. Bring your A-game and let's make some waves!

What's the Deal?

Forget those cramped party boats - this is a private charter for up to 6 people, so it's just you and your crew. We'll cruise past the breakers and hit some prime fishing grounds that most day trips can't reach. With an extra 2 hours compared to standard charters, you'll have plenty of time to load the cooler. Speaking of which, don't forget to pack some grub and drinks - nothing goes better with offshore fishing than a cold one and a sandwich when the bite slows down.

Tactics and Gear

We'll be mixing it up out there, using everything from bottom fishing for snappers and seabass to trolling for kings and mahi. The boat's decked out with top-notch Penn reels and custom rods, plus all the tackle you need. We might throw out some live bait, sling some jigs, or drag a spread of ballyhoo - whatever it takes to get those reels screaming. Don't sweat it if you're new to this kind of fishing; the crew will show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Fish on the Menu

King Mackerel: These smokers are the speedsters of the sea. When a king hits, hold on tight - they can rip off 100 yards of line in seconds! We typically see them in the 15-30 pound range, but 40+ pounders aren't unheard of. They're a blast on light tackle and make for some killer fish dip.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish (not related to Flipper), these neon-colored acrobats are a sight to behold. They often travel in pairs or small schools, so when you hook one, keep your eyes peeled for more. Mahi put on an aerial show like no other and are absolutely delicious on the grill.

Great Barracuda: With a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and a bad attitude, 'cudas are the bullies of the reef. They'll chase down just about anything that moves and can hit lures at lightning speed. While not the best eating, they're a blast to catch and make for some great photos.

Red Snapper: These crimson beauties are the prize of the Gulf. They love to hang around structure and put up a great fight on the way up. The meat is sweet and flaky - perfect for fish tacos. Just remember, we can only keep them during open season, so check the regs before you get your hopes up.

Black Sea Bass: Don't let their size fool you - these little bruisers fight hard for their weight. They're structure-oriented, so we'll be dropping baits near reefs and wrecks. The white, mild meat is a crowd-pleaser and great for fish fries.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

There's something special about pushing out past the sight of land, where the water turns that deep cobalt blue. Out here, you never know what might show up - maybe a pod of dolphins, a sea turtle, or even a whale shark if you're lucky. And let's be real, there's no better feeling than the bend in your rod when a big fish hits and the drag starts singing. Whether you're a seasoned salt or it's your first time offshore, this trip's got something for everyone.

Lock in Your Lines

Look, the fish are out there waiting, and the boat's ready to go. All we need is you and your crew. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or just want to experience the thrill of offshore fishing, this 6-hour trip is the ticket. Don't miss out on the chance to create some epic fishing stories (you know, the ones that get bigger every time you tell them). Book your spot now and let's get out there where the big fish live!

Learn more about the species

Black Sea Bass

Black Sea Bass are the tasty residents of nearshore reefs. These bottom-dwellers usually run 1-4 pounds but can reach 8+. You'll find them around rocky bottoms and artificial reefs in 60-120 feet of water. They're most active in warmer months when they move closer to shore. Anglers love sea bass for their aggressive bites and excellent eating quality. While they don't make long runs, they put up a good scrap on light tackle. Their white, flaky meat is a favorite for fish fries. To boost your catch, use a two-hook bottom rig with squid or cut bait. Drop it right to the bottom and wait for that telltale thump. Just remember, bigger fish often hang in slightly deeper water, so don't be afraid to move around if you're only catching small ones.

Great Barracuda

Great Barracuda are the intimidating sprinters of the reef. These long, toothy predators average 2-4 feet but can stretch to 6 feet and weigh over 100 pounds. You'll find them lurking around shallow reefs, often in less than 100 feet of water. They're here year-round, but fishing heats up in summer. Anglers love 'cuda for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. They'll chase down lures at high speed, often leaping clear out of the water. While they're not prized for eating, the fight is unforgettable. Try trolling with tube lures or casting topwater plugs near structure. A wire leader is a must - those teeth will slice through mono like butter. Just be careful when landing them - keep your hands well clear of that mouth!

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are speed demons of the sea, usually weighing 20-30 pounds but can top 90. You'll find them in deeper waters, 40-150 feet down, hunting around structures. Late spring through fall is prime time, when water temps hit the sweet spot of 68-84°F. Anglers love 'em for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps - hooking one feels like you've got a rocket on your line. They're tasty too, with rich, oily flesh perfect for smoking. To boost your odds, try slow-trolling live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Keep an eye out for birds diving - that's often a dead giveaway there are kings below. Just watch those teeth when you're landing one - they're razor-sharp and can do some damage if you're not careful.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi, or dolphinfish, are the acrobats of the offshore world. These colorful fighters usually run 15-30 pounds but can hit 50+. Look for them around floating debris or weed lines, often within sight of birds. They're most active in warmer months when water temps are up. Anglers can't get enough of their wild aerial displays and hard-charging runs. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish in the sea - mild, firm, and perfect for the grill. To up your chances, have a pitch bait ready. When you spot a school, toss out a live bait or bright lure. Mahi are curious and competitive - often the whole school will try to beat each other to it. Just remember to leave the smaller ones to grow - it helps keep the population strong for years to come.

Red Snapper

Red Snapper are the prized bottom-dwellers of the Gulf. These ruby-red beauties usually run 5-10 pounds but can top 30. You'll find them hanging around reefs and wrecks in 60-300 feet of water. The season's limited, so check regulations before you go. Anglers love snapper for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. They put up a stubborn battle all the way to the surface. Once you get them in the boat, you're in for some of the best-tasting fillets in the ocean. To improve your odds, use heavy tackle and drop your bait right to the bottom. Fresh cut bait or live pinfish are top choices. Keep an eye on your line - snapper are notorious for running straight back to structure and breaking you off.
