On The Line Sportfishing runs angling trips out of Boynton Beach and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.
Capt. Barry will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Tuna, depending on the season and weather conditions.
Your boat for the day will be a 252 mako that fits up to 6 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with an ice box. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.
The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip. You can keep anything you catch as long as it’s legal to do so. Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.

Half Day Trip – Offshore afternoon on May 22, 2025
We had four or five hookups. One of the hookups was a beautiful sailfish. We had it on the line and it was jumping out of the water . We lost the fish as it was our youngests turn and he could barely reel in . When I took over for him it was too late. We also had a king fish on the line but got sharked. Then at the end of trip I did catch a larger barracuda . He put up a nice fight. Captain Barry tried his hardest to catch fish and it showed! He is the real deal!

3 hour inshore on April 18, 2025
We were extremely happy with Capt. Barry. 1st class all the way. When bait was needed , he had alternative rods so you were never without bait. Constant fishing. Took his advice and brought the Spanish mackerel we caught to a nearby restaurant which they cooked for us. My 14 year old son and I Caught 15+ fish in 2.5 hours , kept 8, ate 5 within’ 2 hours. Fresh as can be. Excellent music too. Capt. Barry will see us again for sure. Highly recommend.

Half Day Trip – Offshore (AM) on March 16, 2025
Fishing is always a hit or miss experience. Captain Barry was more than week equipped to help increase the odds of catching fish. Within a few minutes of setting up we hooked our first sail fish, one of 2 that afternoon. Captain Barry worked tirelessly to ensure as many catches as possible! When I return to Florida and want to fish again I will reach out to Captain Barry. 3 total fish landed, 2 sail and 1 king mackerel. Amazing adventure!

Firsthand, Capitan Barry is the one and only captian you need. Incredibly intelligent and experienced guy that knows how to get you on fish even when nobody else is getting bites. His boat, the mako, is impressively smooth even during swells and very well equipped with everything you could need for a successful expedition. Rods tackle bait cold water and fantastic music is a guarantee. My expedition exceeded expectations and I genuinely cannot wait to plan my next adventure with captian Barry. 10/10 hands down the best charter and most experienced fishing captian I've ever met. And I'm a local for 26 years! If you are considering booking you just hit the jackpot with this captian!

3/4 Day Trip – Offshore am on August 7, 2024
I can't recommend Captain Barry enough. If I could give a 10 star review, that's what he'd get. We caught fish all day long, including Bonita, Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, Barracuda, Wahoo and a 7' Sailfish. Caught enough fish that the cooler was full, and spent the last 2 hours Shark fishing. Unfortunately, we didn't get one of those to the boat, but that wasn't because of the Captain. We hooked one, just didn't get it all the way to the boat. If you're ever in South Florida, I highly recommend that you give Captain Barry and On the Line fishing Sportfishing a call. You won't be disappointed!
