Valparaiso Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) Fishing Charters

Bottom Fishing & Trolling for all kinds of Gulf Species. Kindly note: For safety reasons, these trips are not recommended for guests who are pregnant. Thank you for your understanding.

Morning trips are known to be more productive, and Captain Tim will make sure that's the case. It's best to get out early and get the early bite and beat the heat! You'll be fishing for the likes of Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and plenty more besides. Rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price of the trip.

Sleep in and go fishing for Speckled Trout, Grouper, Amberjack, Mahi, Tuna, King and Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Triggerfish, Lane Snapper, and many others on this afternoon excursion. You won't regret it for a second! Just keep in mind most fish species have size and bag limits, as well as their seasons, so don't be disappointed if you have to release some, the regulations are there to preserve the future of fishing.

On this trip, we can go further away from the pass either out or just furter down the beach to get away from the weekend worries depending what fish you want to target.

This trip is in the Gulf of Mexico. Go nearshore (nine-miles, state water) and target Florida's Red Snapper! Also on the menu: Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Triggerfish, Pompano, and all kinds of Groupers! Florida Wildlife announces the exact season dates mid-Spring each year. The 2024 season is tentatively scheduled for June 14-July 31. Message Captain Rob with questions.

Start your trip early in the morning and enjoy an 8-hour bay or gulf fishing experience. The captain will provide you with all the fishing gear including rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. You're also covered for licenses and you can take advantage of the free fish cleaning when the trip is over.

Many different spots and species from trolling to bottom fishing

Go beyond! Your group, Captain, and the first mate will leave the dock at about 6:30 a.m. and spend 10 full hours in the deep blue. This experience is for the true anglers at heart. A full day of reaching both pelagic and bottom fishing in areas outside of the norm and strictly customized to you and your group. You can plan to go after Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and many more deep-water species as federal/state regulations allow. Bring snacks, lunch, and drinks for the trip.

You really want to get after it! The full day is a 10-hour fishing marathon. This allows us the options to troll, bottom fish, and get after so much harder to find species.

Enjoy fishing some of Destin’s natural bottom and artificial reefs. You can choose to spend your time reeling from the non-stop bottom action or take your chances trolling for something more sporty. The Gulf of America fishery in the Destin area is truly incredible. Make sure to be mindful of the weather conditions and try to book on days that seas are predicted for 2’ or less.
