Background
Captain Chase, born and raised in New York, learned to fish in the legendary big Tuna grounds of Montauk, Long Island. After catching his first Yellowfin Tuna, he was hooked. Catching Yellowfin and Bluefin became an obsession, with one Bluefin, weighing in at 973 pounds. Being raised in Sheepshead Bay, New York, and working as a mate, Capt. Chase enjoyed learning his trade from some of the best charter boat captains in the business. Captain Chase has since been Tournament Director at Bimini Big Game Club, Bimini Sands & Hemingway Marina Havana Cuba.

3 Day Bimini Trip on Our Vip Luxury Viki
Dec 31, 2025 Fort Lauderdale
If there is one month that serious anglers, adventure seekers, and luxury-minded travelers circle on the calendar, January in Bimini is it. This is not hype. This is timing & TIMING IS EVERYTHING! Every winter, when cold fronts begin pushing down through South Florida, the waters surrounding Bimini come alive with one of the oceanโ€™s most electrifying predators โ€” Wahoo. And January sits squarely in the heart of that bite. Here's Why January Is Prime Time for Wahoo in Bimini Wahoo are built for speed, power, and chaos. They follow temperature breaks, current edges, and bait concentrations โ€” all of which stack up perfectly around Bimini in January. Hereโ€™s what makes this month different: Consistent cold fronts push fish into predictable patterns Clear water allows for aggressive, reaction-based strikes Heavy fish arrive โ€” not Schoolies, but the Big Boys, the true trophies Less boat pressure than spring and summer months When conditions line up, itโ€™s not uncommon to see multiple hookups in a single morning, with fish ranging from 40 to 80+ pounds โ€” and sometimes bigger. This is the kind of fishing that turns first-timers into lifelong offshore addicts. The Fight: Fast, Violent, Unforgettable Wahoo strikes are not subtle. They hit like a freight train, instantly dumping line at blistering speed. Rods double over. Drags scream. Anglers freeze for half a second โ€” then the real fight begins. This is exactly why January Wahoo fishing in Bimini is so addictive: No slow build-up, No guessing, Just raw power and adrenaline And once that silver missile breaks the surface boat side, flashing purple and electric blue, you understand why Wahoo are considered one of the most prized gamefish in the world. Why Bimini Specifically? Bimini isnโ€™t just close โ€” itโ€™s perfectly positioned. Sitting on the edge of the Gulf Stream, Bimini offers immediate access to: Deep water within minutes of leaving the dock Edit Image High-speed current edges Wahoo love Proven trolling lanes that consistently produce year after year Unlike other destinations that require long runs or multiple days, Bimini delivers fast action, fast access, and fast results โ€” especially in January. Luxury Meets Hardcore Fishing January weather in Bimini is ideal. Cooler mornings. Comfortable afternoons. Calm crossings on the right days. That means you get the best of both worlds: Serious, tournament-style Wahoo fishing A refined, private charter experience Island evenings, warm breezes, and zero crowds This is fishing for those who want results without sacrificing comfort. **hidden content** The Urgency: Why You Must Book Now Hereโ€™s the reality most people miss: January Wahoo season is short โ€” and it books fast. Prime dates disappear first Weather windows are valuable Boats only run one charter per day Once January is gone, so is this exact bite You cannot โ€œmake it up later.โ€ You cannot recreate January conditions in March. If Wahoo is on your bucket list โ€” this is the moment. **hidden content** Final Word Bimini in January isnโ€™t just another fishing trip. Itโ€™s a narrow window where conditions, fish size, and opportunity all align. If youโ€™ve ever wanted to: Feel a true high-speed offshore strike Land a legitimate trophy Wahoo Experience world-class fishing just 50 miles from Florida Then donโ€™t wait. January is happening now โ€” and it wonโ€™t wait for anyone. ? Book your January Bimini Wahoo charter before the window closes. **hidden content**

Mahi Mahi continue to bite within a few miles of the coast, with Blackfin Tuna also red hot. Amberjacks are caught over wrecks in waters **hidden content** ft deep. This is usually the beginning of the open Grouper season. The summer fishing season started early this year in Fort Lauderdale, and we've already started catching a wide variety of species that are usually caught in the summer. And while catches have been really good in the last few weeks, we can expect them to get even better as we head into June. During April the first Blackfin Tuna north of 25 pounds were caught, and these muscle-packed fish put up one heck of a fight before you can claim victory. The best way to target them is with trolling, and we can expect the numbers of Blackfin Tuna to go up over the next month. In addition to Tuna, Sailfish have started to make an appearance around Fort Lauderdale, and several boats have reported catching more than one Sailfish at the same time, which is quite an exciting event to witness. Wahoos, which is a regular catch in Fort Lauderdale waters, continue to show up, although they are not as plentiful in spring as in other parts of the year. When fishing close to reefs, one of the main catches is kingfish, which are targeted by trolling with planer boards. Anchoring close to the reef, yellowtail snappers are one of the prize catches, which can be attracted with chum. They're not only fun to catch on light tackle, but also make for delicious eating. And while groupers have also been caught, they've had to be released since they're out of season at this time. As we go into the summer months, we can expect increasing numbers of Mahi Mahi to show up more consistently, which makes it worth targeting them specifically. In the past few weeks, some Mahi Mahi has been caught, but mostly by accident while targeting other species.
