Port Orange Full Day: Epic Offshore Adventure
Get ready for a full day of non-stop fishing action off the coast of Port Orange! This 8-hour shared charter is your ticket to some of the best offshore and nearshore fishing Florida has to offer. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, our experienced crew will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. With room for up to 6 anglers, it's the perfect trip for groups, families, or solo fishermen looking to team up and split costs.
What to Expect on the Water
We'll kick things off early, meeting at the dock as the sun's coming up. After a quick safety briefing, we'll head out to where the big ones are biting. This full-day trip gives us plenty of time to hit multiple spots and target a variety of species. We'll start in the nearshore waters, maybe pulling in some redfish or sharks, before heading further out for the offshore action. The Gulf Stream current brings in some real fighters like kingfish, cobia, and even the occasional wahoo. And let's not forget about the reefs – that's where you'll find those tasty mutton snappers and beeliners.
Fishing Techniques & Gear
On this trip, we'll use a mix of techniques to maximize our chances. We might start with some bottom fishing, dropping lines with cut bait or squid to entice those reef dwellers. When we spot some surface action, we'll switch to trolling – dragging lures behind the boat to mimic baitfish and attract the big pelagics like mahi-mahi. Don't worry if you're new to this; our mate will be right there to show you the ropes. We provide all the gear you need – top-notch rods, reels, and tackle suited for the fish we're after. Just bring your sunscreen, some snacks, and a camera to capture your catch of the day!
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Folks love this trip because it's the best of both worlds – the thrill of offshore fishing without breaking the bank. At $450 per person (with a 3-person minimum), it's a deal that's hard to beat for a full day on the water. Plus, we take care of all the details. Your fishing license? Covered. Bait and tackle? We've got it. Even bottled water and ice for your cooler are included. And when the day's done, our mate will clean up to 5 fish per person at no extra charge. It's no wonder we see so many repeat customers – once you've experienced the rush of battling a big cobia or the satisfaction of filling your cooler with tasty snappers, you'll be hooked!
Species You'll Want to Hook
Mahi Mahi (Common Dolphinfish): These acrobatic fighters are a favorite among our anglers. Known for their vibrant colors and delicious meat, mahi-mahi put on a real show when hooked. They're fast swimmers and often travel in schools, so when we find them, the action can be non-stop. Spring through fall is prime time for mahi, with summer being the peak season. They're usually found near floating debris or weed lines, so keep your eyes peeled!
Cobia: Often called "crab eaters," cobia are curious fish that love to follow larger animals like sharks or rays. They're strong fighters that can grow over 100 pounds, though most we catch are in the 30-50 pound range. Cobia have a long season in Florida, but they're especially active in the warmer months. When you hook one, be ready for a battle – these guys don't give up easily!
Red Snapper: These beautiful crimson fish are prized for their firm, white flesh. They're typically found near reefs and other structure in depths of 60-300 feet. Red snapper season is strictly regulated, but when it's open, it's a real treat. They're hard fighters and can grow up to 40 pounds, though most we catch are in the 5-15 pound range. The challenge with red snapper is getting them up before the sharks get to them!
Mutton Snapper: Don't let their pinkish color fool you – mutton snappers are tough customers. They're known for their intelligence and can be tricky to catch, often inspecting bait before committing. But once hooked, they put up a great fight. Muttons can be caught year-round in Florida, with peak seasons in spring and fall. They're typically found near reefs and prefer live bait or cut fish.
Northern Kingfish: Also known as "kingfish" or "kings," these speedsters are a blast to catch. They're famous for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Kingfish migrate along the coast, following bait schools, so we target them by trolling with live bait or artificial lures. Spring and fall are the best times to catch kings, but we can find them year-round. They range from 5-30 pounds, with the bigger ones giving you a real workout!
Time to Book Your Spot
Alright, folks, if you're itching to get out on the water and tangle with some of Florida's finest fish, this Port Orange Full Day Shared Charter is calling your name. Remember, we need a minimum of 3 anglers to make the trip happen, so grab your fishing buddies or come solo and make some new ones. At $450 per person for a full 8 hours of fishing, with everything included, it's a deal that's hard to pass up. Just keep in mind that deposits are non-refundable, so check your calendar and commit when you're ready. Whether you're after your personal best kingfish or just want to fill the cooler with tasty snappers, we've got you covered. Don't let another fishing season slip by – book now and let's make some memories on the water!
Learn more about the species
Cobia
Cobia are powerful fish that'll give you a real battle. They grow up to 6 feet and 100 pounds, though most are 30-50 pounds. You'll find them around reefs, wrecks, and buoys in 30-70 feet of water. Cobia migrate, so spring and early summer are prime time here. Anglers love 'em for their strength and top-notch eating quality. To catch one, sight fish near the surface or use bucktail jigs around structure. A local secret: cobia are suckers for live eels. These solitary fish often get mistaken for sharks due to their shape. The meat is firm and delicious - some folks call it "poor man's swordfish." Just watch out when you bring 'em in the boat - cobia are known to thrash around.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi Mahi are colorful, fast-swimming fish that put up a great fight. They average 15-29 pounds but can reach over 80 pounds. Look for them near floating debris or weed lines in warm offshore waters. Mahi are most active in summer and fall. Anglers love targeting them for their acrobatic jumps and delicious meat. To catch Mahi, troll with ballyhoo or squid near the surface, making your bait skip to mimic flying fish. These fish are strong swimmers, so use sturdy tackle. A local tip: keep an eye out for frigatebirds - they often lead you right to the Mahi. The meat has a mild, sweet flavor that's fantastic grilled or pan-seared. Just remember, they change colors rapidly when caught, fading to muted yellow-grey.
Mutton Snapper
Mutton Snapper are crafty bottom-dwellers that'll test your skills. They typically run 5-15 pounds but can reach over 30. Look for them around reefs and rocky areas in 40-120 feet of water. Spring and early summer are best, especially around the full moon when they spawn. Anglers prize Muttons for their smart fighting tactics and delicious, firm white meat. To catch one, use light tackle with fresh bait like squid or small fish. A local trick: let your bait drift naturally in the current using a knocker rig. Muttons are known for their keen eyesight, so use fluorocarbon leaders. When you hook one, be ready - they'll make a dash for the nearest structure to try and cut your line.
Northern Kingfish
Northern Kingfish are scrappy little fighters that punch above their weight. Most run 10-14 inches and under 2 pounds, but they're quick and feisty. You'll find them in the surf zone and near-shore waters, often over sandy or rocky bottoms. Late summer is prime time when they're most abundant close to shore. Anglers enjoy targeting Kingfish for their sporty fight on light tackle and tasty white meat. To catch 'em, fish from the beach, pier, or boat using small hooks and bits of clam, bloodworm, or squid. Here's a local tip: try casting just behind the breaking waves where they often feed. Kingfish make great eating, with a mild, sweet flavor that's excellent fried or baked.
Red Snapper
Red Snapper are prized for both their fight and flavor. These ruby-colored beauties average 10-20 pounds but can top 30. You'll find them hanging around reefs and wrecks in 100-300 feet of water. Late spring through fall is prime time, with spawning peaks in summer. Anglers love Red Snapper for their hard pulls and excellent table fare. To land one, drop your bait to the bottom using heavy weights. Live bait like pinfish or squid works great. Here's a local tip: chum the water to get them fired up, then try fly fishing with sinking lines for a real thrill. The meat is mild and slightly sweet - perfect for grilling or blackening. Just remember, seasons are tightly regulated, so check current limits before your trip.
