What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising out on a sweet offshore rig, lines in the water, and before you know it - zzzzzzzzing! Your reel's screaming as a 400-pound blue marlin goes airborne. That's the kind of adrenaline rush we're after on this trip. We'll be trolling the deep blue, about 5-10 miles offshore where the big boys hang out. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some serious action. We provide all the heavy-duty gear, live bait, and licenses, so all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a snack or two. Oh, and don't worry about staying hydrated - we've got water and beer on deck to keep you in fighting shape.

Trolling 101

If you're new to offshore fishing, here's the lowdown on trolling. We'll be cruising at a steady clip, dragging baited lines behind the boat. It's all about mimicking the movement of the marlin's favorite snacks. We use a mix of artificial lures and rigged baits like ballyhoo to entice the big ones. The crew will set up a spread of lines at different depths and distances, creating a buffet that no self-respecting gamefish can resist. When a fish strikes, it's all hands on deck! You'll take the rod, and with the crew's guidance, settle in for the fight of your life. It's you versus the fish, and let me tell you, when you're hooked up to a 100-pound sailfish, you'll understand why we anglers live for this stuff.

Target Species Breakdown

Blue Marlin: The crown jewel of big game fishing. These bad boys can top 1,000 pounds, though we usually see them in the 200-400 pound range off Falmouth. They're known for their spectacular aerial displays and blistering runs. Blue marlin are here year-round, but peak season is late summer through fall. Landing one of these is a bucket list achievement for any angler.

Atlantic Sailfish: Don't let their elegant looks fool you - sailfish are fierce fighters. Averaging 6-8 feet long and 80-120 pounds, they're famous for their acrobatic leaps and that unmistakable sail-like dorsal fin. We see good numbers of sails from November through March. They're lightning fast and will test your stamina, but the photo op with a lit-up sailfish is worth every ounce of effort.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish, these are some of the most beautiful fish in the sea. Their electric blue and gold colors are a sight to behold. Mahi are great eating and put up a spirited fight on light tackle. We find them around floating debris and weed lines, often in schools. They're available year-round but really fire up in the spring and summer months.

Great Barracuda: The ocean's equivalent of a sniper, barracuda are ambush predators with a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth. They hit lures hard and fast, often leaping clear of the water on the strike. While not as prized as marlin or tuna, cuda provide great action on light tackle and can reach impressive sizes - up to 5 feet long in these waters. They're a blast for anglers of all skill levels.

White Marlin: The smaller cousin of the blue marlin, white marlin are no less exciting to catch. They average 50-80 pounds and are known for their blinding speed and agility. White marlin tend to travel in groups, so when you find one, there's a good chance of multiple hookups. Their peak season here is August through October. Landing a white marlin is a true test of an angler's finesse and patience.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing these Jamaican waters. Maybe it's the crystal-clear blue of the ocean, or the way the mountains look as you're heading back to port with a cooler full of mahi. But I'll tell you what really keeps folks coming back - it's those moments of pure fishing magic. Like when a pack of frigate birds starts diving, and suddenly you're in the middle of a feeding frenzy with tuna busting the surface all around the boat. Or when the sun's just coming up, and you see that unmistakable bill slice through the water behind your lure. Those are the moments that hook you for life, and we've got 'em in spades out here.

Time to Get Your Fish On

Our 6-hour charters are perfect for getting a real taste of what Falmouth offshore fishing is all about. We've got the knowledge, we've got the gear, and we're ready to put you on the fish of a lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Give us a shout, and let's get you out on the water.

Atlantic Sailfish

Atlantic Sailfish are real showstoppers out here. These beauties can hit 7-8 feet long and put on quite a display when hooked. You'll find them in our warm offshore waters, usually hanging around the 100-200 foot depths. They're lightning fast and love to chase down flying fish and squid. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but we can catch 'em year-round. Anglers go nuts for sailfish because of their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs. When you hook one, it'll go airborne and dance across the water - an unforgettable sight. Here's a local tip: use circle hooks with live bait like blue runners. Let the sailfish take the bait and swim off before setting the hook. It's a more ethical way to catch and release these magnificent fish.

Blue Marlin

Blue Marlin are the heavyweights of our offshore waters. These monsters can top 1,000 pounds, though most we see are in the 200-400 pound range. You'll find them in the deep blue water beyond the reef drop-off, usually over 1,000 feet deep. They're drawn to underwater structure and temperature breaks where bait fish congregate. Late summer and early fall are peak seasons when the water warms up. Anglers love Blue Marlin for the sheer power and stamina they bring to a fight. When hooked, they'll make blistering runs and spectacular jumps. Be ready for a battle that can last hours. If you're after a grander (1,000+ pounder), we'll use big lures or live bait like bonito. Here's a tip: watch for frigatebirds - they often signal marlin feeding on the surface. Patience and persistence are key with these apex predators.

Great Barracuda

Great Barracuda are the toothy terrors of our reefs. These sleek predators can grow over 5 feet long, with most in the 2-4 foot range. You'll find them lurking around reefs, drop-offs, and shipwrecks in 20-100 foot depths. They're ambush hunters, using short bursts of speed to catch prey. Barracuda are around all year, but fishing picks up in summer when they gather to spawn. Anglers love 'cuda for their aggressive strikes and aerial acrobatics when hooked. They'll hit lures and live bait with explosive force. The fight is usually short but intense, with powerful runs and jumps. Here's a tip: use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs from those razor-sharp teeth. While they're not the best eating, 'cuda are a blast to catch and release. Just be careful when handling them - those teeth are no joke!

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi are the perfect gamefish - beautiful, acrobatic, and delicious. They average 15-30 pounds but can get up to 50. You'll find them near floating debris and weed lines, usually in 100-400 foot depths. They're fast growers and quick to bite, making them a blast for anglers of all skill levels. Spring and summer are prime seasons when the water warms up. Mahi are famous for their stunning colors - electric blues, greens, and yellows that shimmer in the sun. They put on an aerial show when hooked, with impressive jumps and runs. The fight is exciting but usually doesn't last too long. Here's a local trick: when you hook one, keep it in the water. Others in the school will often stick around, letting you catch multiple fish. And don't forget - Mahi make for some of the best eating out there. Fresh grilled Mahi is hard to beat after a day on the water.

White Marlin

White Marlin are the speedy cousins of the Blue Marlin. They're smaller, averaging 60-80 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in agility. You'll find them in the open ocean, often near temperature breaks and underwater structures in 100-300 foot depths. Late summer and early fall are prime seasons when they follow bait schools into our waters. Anglers prize White Marlin for their incredible acrobatics. When hooked, they'll put on a show with multiple jumps and blistering runs. The fight is less about power and more about finesse. Trolling with ballyhoo or small lures is the go-to method. Here's a local trick: when you see one in the spread, don't strike immediately. Let it eat and swim off before setting the hook. This increases your chances of a solid hookup. White Marlin are catch-and-release only, so we handle them carefully to ensure they swim away strong.
