Expert-Guided Offshore Fishing in Jensen Beach

Reel in Big Game on Jensen Beach's Offshore Playground

Get ready to feel the rush of open water fishing on this customizable Jensen Beach offshore trip. We're talking 4 to 8 hours of pure angling action, where you'll tangle with hard-fighting pelagics and reef monsters that'll put your skills to the test. From the moment we clear the inlet, it's game on – whether you're after screaming surface runs or muscle-burning battles in the depths. Our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so expect to hit the hottest spots and learn a few local tricks along the way.

What to Expect on the Water

Once we're out past the breakers, it's a whole different ballgame. We'll be running and gunning, chasing birds and bait pods to find the action. Some days it's all about live-bait fishing for tuna and kingfish, other days we might be dropping jigs for grouper and snapper. The beauty of offshore fishing is you never know what's gonna grab your line next. Could be a sailfish skying on a ballyhoo, or a big amberjack trying to drag you to the bottom. Whatever bites, you better hold on tight – these fish don't go down easy.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

We mix it up out here, using everything from light tackle to heavy duty gear depending on what we're after. Might start the day kite fishing for sailfish, then switch to deep dropping for snappers and groupers. Love using live bait? We'll catch some blue runners or goggle eyes and slow-troll them for wahoo or kings. Or if you're into more active fishing, we can throw poppers and stick baits for surface action. Bottom fishing is always an option too, especially if you want to fill the cooler with some tasty reef fish for dinner.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Third time out with Captain Charley and it was another great trip. Eight hour offshore. Fishing was great! Caught Black Fin Tuna, Mahi and Mangrove Snapper. Book with Captain Charley, you will not regret it." - Scott

"Started the day hot tripling up on blackfin tuna within 10mins of setting up. Went 2 for 2 on sailfish. Ended the day bottom fishing with a solid red grouper and a few mahi mahi. Highly recommended." - Derrick

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mutton Snapper: These pink beauties are some of the tastiest fish in the sea, and they put up a great fight too. Look for them around reefs and wrecks, especially during their summer spawn. They're smart fish, so light leaders and stealthy presentations are key. Nothing beats the feeling of outsmarting a big mutton and seeing that flash of pink come up from the depths.

Black Grouper: True bruisers of the reef, black grouper will test your drag and your biceps. They love structure, so we'll be fishing near ledges and rocky bottom. These guys can grow over 100 pounds, and they're not afraid to use that weight to dive back into their hole. The meat is fantastic – firm, white, and perfect for grilling or blackening.

Gag Grouper: Cousin to the black grouper, gags are just as tough and just as tasty. They tend to hang a bit shallower, often in 60 to 200 feet of water. Fall is prime time for gags, as they move closer to shore to spawn. Big live baits like pinfish or grunts are your best bet for hooking into a trophy gag.

Grey Snapper: Also known as mangrove snapper, these guys might be smaller than some other targets, but they more than make up for it in numbers and fight. They school up around reefs and wrecks, and they're suckers for live bait or cut chunks. Great eating fish, with a sweet, mild flavor that's hard to beat.

Goliath Grouper: The true giants of the reef, goliaths are catch-and-release only these days, but man, what a thrill. These behemoths can top 800 pounds, and when they decide to head for cover, there's not much you can do to stop them. We'll use heavy tackle and big baits if we're targeting these monsters. Just remember, it's all about the picture and the story with goliaths – they go right back in the water after the fight.
