The Big Five: Our Target Species

Skipjack Tuna: These guys might be on the smaller side for tuna, but they make up for it with their fight. Skipjacks are fast, acrobatic, and travel in schools. When we find them, it's non-stop action. They're great eating too, perfect for some fresh sashimi on the boat.

Blue Marlin: The crown jewel of offshore fishing. Blue marlin are the stuff of legends, known for their size and their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Landing one of these beauties is a true feat of angling skill. While they're here year-round, your best shot is during the summer months.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish, these are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. With their bright colors and acrobatic fights, mahi are always a crowd-pleaser. They're also delicious, making them the perfect fish to take home for dinner. We see them most of the year, but they really show up in force during the summer.

Greater Amberjack: These bruisers hang out near wrecks and reefs, and they pull like freight trains. Amberjack fights are all about power - it's you versus the fish in a battle of pure strength. They're most abundant in the cooler months, from fall through spring.

Cobia: Cobia are the odd balls of the offshore world. They're curious fish that often swim right up to the boat, but don't let that fool you. Once hooked, they put up one heck of a fight. Cobia have a reputation for being excellent table fare, too. We see them most of the year, with peak season in the spring.
