10-Hour Deep Sea Adventure: Bottom & Trolling

Get ready for the ultimate offshore fishing experience with Fish N' Tales Charters. Our 10-hour trip combines the best of bottom fishing and trolling, giving you a chance to land a variety of prized catches. You'll be aboard our 37-foot Topaz, a spacious and well-equipped vessel perfect for both seasoned anglers and newcomers alike. With room for up to 6 guests, it's an ideal setup for a group of friends or family looking to make some serious memories on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

As we head out to the deep blue, you'll feel the excitement build. We'll start by dropping lines to the ocean floor, targeting those tasty bottom-dwellers that make for excellent table fare. But that's just the beginning. Once we've got a good haul from the depths, we'll switch gears and break out the trolling gear. This is where the real adrenaline kicks in. We'll be on the hunt for some of the fastest fish in the sea - Wahoo, King Mackerel, and Blackfin Tuna. These speedsters will give you a run for your money, testing your skills and possibly your biceps too. With 10 full hours on the water, you'll have plenty of time to try different techniques and locations, maximizing your chances of a cooler full of fish and a day full of stories.

Techniques and Gear

We've got this trip dialed in to give you the best of both worlds. For bottom fishing, we'll be using heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with braided line to feel those subtle bites. We'll bait up with squid, cut bait, or live pinfish to entice those bottom-feeders. When it's time to troll, we'll switch to lighter, more flexible rods that can handle the sudden strikes and long runs of pelagic species. We use a mix of natural bait and artificial lures, including ballyhoo rigs and colorful skirted lures that mimic fleeing baitfish. Our crew will be there every step of the way, showing you the ropes and helping you perfect your technique. Whether you're jigging, dropping, or watching those trolling lines, you'll be in for a day of non-stop action.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Wahoo: These streamlined speedsters are the cheetahs of the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. Known for their incredible runs and delicious white meat, hooking a Wahoo is always a thrill. They're typically more abundant in the warmer months, but can be caught year-round in the right conditions. When a Wahoo hits, hold on tight - their initial run can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds!

King Mackerel: Also known as Kingfish, these toothy predators are a staple of offshore trolling. They're fast, aggressive, and put up a great fight on light tackle. Kings can be found in good numbers during their seasonal migrations, typically in spring and fall. They're known for their smoking runs and aerial acrobatics, often throwing hooks with spectacular jumps.

Blackfin Tuna: Don't let their smaller size fool you - Blackfin Tuna punch well above their weight class. These powerful fish school in large numbers and can create frenzied surface action when feeding. They're prized for their rich, dark meat that's excellent for sashimi. Blackfin are often most active at dawn and dusk, so we'll time our trolling passes to coincide with these feeding periods.

Bottom Dwellers: While trolling is exciting, don't overlook the tasty treats we'll be pulling up from the depths. Depending on the season and location, we might encounter Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, or Triggerfish. These species might not have the speed of the pelagics, but they more than make up for it with their tenacious fights and excellent table quality. There's nothing quite like the feeling of battling a big Grouper as it tries to hole up in the structure below!
