Chlophish Charters: Boca Raton Offshore Fishing

Boca's Half-Day Offshore Fishing Adventure

Ready for some serious rod-bending action just off the coast of Boca? This 4-hour offshore trip is your ticket to hooking into some of South Florida's most sought-after gamefish. We'll be targeting the hard-fighting trio of King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and Little Tunny, with a chance at bonus species like Wahoo and Sailfish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the offshore game, our experienced captain will put you on the fish and make sure you're in for a productive day on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll push off from Boca Raton Inlet and make a beeline for the productive offshore grounds. The beauty of fishing these waters is the variety - one minute you might be battling a screaming King Mackerel, the next you could be hooked up with a acrobatic Mahi. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll hit the prime spots where the fish are biting. You'll be using top-notch gear, and the crew will be there to offer tips and help you land that trophy catch. Don't forget to bring some snacks and drinks to keep your energy up - trust me, you'll need it when that reel starts singing!

Techniques & Tactics

On this trip, we'll be employing a mix of trolling and live bait fishing to maximize our chances. We'll start by setting out a spread of lures and baits behind the boat, perfect for enticing those speedy pelagics like Mackerel and Tuna. If we mark some fish on the sonar or spot a weedline, we might switch to live bait tactics. Nothing gets a big Mahi fired up like a frisky live bait! The captain will walk you through each technique, so even if you're new to offshore fishing, you'll be hauling in fish like a pro in no time. And hey, if we're lucky enough to spot a sailfish, get ready for the thrill of your life as we pitch a bait and watch that bill light up!

Top Catches This Season

The fishing has been on fire lately off Boca. We've been seeing some monster King Mackerel in the 30-40 pound range, putting up epic fights and making for some great fish stories. The Mahi bite has been consistent too, with plenty of "schoolie" sized fish perfect for the grill, and the occasional trophy bull over 20 pounds. As for the Little Tunny (we call 'em "Bonito" down here), these pocket rockets have been thick, providing non-stop action when we find a school. It's not uncommon for anglers to leave with sore arms and big smiles after tangling with these hard-fighters all afternoon.

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These sleek predators are the speed demons of the sea. Known for blistering runs that'll have your drag screaming, Kings are a blast to catch. They typically range from 10-30 pounds, but we see some real monsters pushing 50+ pounds at times. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but we catch them year-round. When a King skyrockets on a bait, it's a sight you won't forget!

Mahi Mahi: Also called Dorado or Dolphinfish, these are the acrobats of the offshore world. Mahi are known for their stunning colors - electric blues, greens, and yellows that seem to shift as they fight. They're incredible jumpers, often clearing the water multiple times during a fight. We catch them year-round, with the best action from April through September. Not only are they fun to catch, but they're also delicious - perfect for a fresh fish dinner after your trip.

Little Tunny: Don't let the "Little" in their name fool you - these fish punch well above their weight class. Also called False Albacore or Bonito, they're like mini torpedoes, capable of scorching runs and dogged fights. They typically range from 5-15 pounds and often travel in large schools. When we find a feeding frenzy of Little Tunny, it's non-stop action that'll test your stamina. They're most abundant in the warmer months but can be caught year-round off Boca.
