Trip Summary

On the morning of May 28th, we headed out at 6 AM for a 6-hour fishing trip with a couple visiting from Montreal. Despite slightly choppy conditions, the Dramamine worked perfectly and everyone felt great throughout the trip. The fishing was nonstop, with an incredible number of Mahi Mahi caught — we’ve been seeing these show up in larger schools more frequently, signaling a strong start to the season. We used live bait and trolling techniques, which proved highly effective. Along with the many Mahi Mahi, we also landed a barracuda and even a white marlin, making it an exciting and memorable outing. The fishing season is clearly kicking off with great energy, and we're looking forward to more successful trips like this one.

Mahi Mahi Everywhere!
Mahi Mahi Everywhere!
July 16, 2025
Our afternoon fishing trip on July 16th kicked off at 2:30 PM, and from the moment we hit the water, it was all about the mahi mahi. The bite was hot — constant action throughout the entire 4-hour charter. We were trolling with live bait and ballyhoo, which turned out to be the perfect setup. The ocean was calm, and the conditions ideal for spotting floating debris and weed lines, which always bring the fish. Every pass brought in more dorado — beautiful, vibrant mahi mahi that gave our guests plenty of excitement and full coolers. This has been the trend for several days now. It’s mahi mahi mayhem out there, and we don’t see it slowing down anytime soon. If you’re thinking about getting out on the water, now’s the perfect time to jump on a trip and enjoy this incredible season!
