Epic 10-Hour Offshore Fishing in Brunswick
Get ready to feel the salt spray on your face and the thrill of battling big game fish on our full-day offshore adventure! We're talking 10 solid hours of prime fishing action in the deep blue waters off Brunswick, GA. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to offshore fishing, our expert crew will put you on the hottest spots where trophy catches are just waiting to test your skills. From the moment we leave the dock until we cruise back with a cooler full of fish, you're in for a day you won't forget.
What to Expect on the Water
We'll start bright and early, loading up our 35-foot center console with top-notch gear and a crew that knows these waters like the back of their hand. As we head out past the breakers, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing in our wake. Once we reach the offshore grounds, it's go time. We'll be targeting everything from hard-fighting jacks to tasty mahi-mahi and maybe even a massive tuna or two. Our captain will use a mix of techniques - trolling, bottom fishing, and live baiting - to maximize your chances of hooking into something big. And trust me, when that reel starts screaming, you'll be glad you chose the full-day trip. There's nothing quite like the rush of battling a powerful fish in open water.
Techniques and Gear Rundown
On this trip, we're not messing around with light tackle. We're geared up for the big boys. We'll be using heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with braided line that can handle whatever decides to bite. For trolling, we'll deploy a spread of lures and rigged baits that mimic the local forage fish. When we're bottom fishing, we'll drop cut bait or live pinfish down to the structure where grouper and other bottom-dwellers hide out. And if we spot a weed line or floating debris, you better believe we'll toss out some live bait to entice any mahi-mahi in the area. Our crew will walk you through each technique, so even if you're new to offshore fishing, you'll be jigging and trolling like a pro in no time.
What Anglers Are Saying
"We had two adults and four teens on our trip, and Maggie was fantastic with the kids. She made them feel at ease with fishing and provided great teaching moments along the way. We all had a blast! We caught a massive stingray and several other fish. Although we missed a few of the bigger game fish we hooked, we still had a great time and can't wait for our next adventure. Thanks so much!" - Aaron
Species You'll Want to Hook
Mahi Mahi, or Common Dolphinfish, are the acrobats of the offshore world. These colorful speedsters are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. They usually hang out near floating debris or weed lines, and when you find one, you've often found a whole school. Mahi can grow up to 50 pounds, but even the smaller "peanuts" put up a great fight. Plus, they're delicious on the grill, making them a favorite target for many anglers.
Crevalle Jack, often called "jacks" by locals, are the bulldogs of the sea. These powerful fish will test your arms and your drag system. They typically run in schools and when you hook one, be ready for a battle. Jacks are most active in the warmer months and can be found both near the surface and in deeper water. While they're not known for their table fare, the fight they put up more than makes up for it.
Cobia, nicknamed "ling" or "lemonfish," are the curious wanderers of our offshore waters. These brown beauties can grow over 100 pounds and are known for their strong runs and stubborn fights. Cobia often shadow large rays or hang around structure, making them a fun species to sight-fish. They're most abundant in the summer months and are prized for their firm, white flesh that's excellent for grilling or searing.
Bigeye Tuna are the heavyweight champions of our deep-sea fishing trips. These powerful fish can weigh over 200 pounds and are known for their long, blistering runs that can empty a reel in minutes. Bigeyes are typically found in deeper, cooler waters and are most active at night or during low-light conditions. Landing one of these giants is a true trophy and a bucket-list catch for many offshore anglers.
Gag Grouper are the ambush predators of the deep. These hefty fish hang out near bottom structure and reefs, waiting to inhale any passing baitfish. Gags can grow over 50 pounds and are known for their initial powerful run towards their rocky lairs. The challenge is not just hooking them, but getting them away from the structure before they can break you off. Grouper season is highly regulated, but when it's open, these fish are a top target for their delicious, flaky white meat.
Time to Book Your Spot
Look, I could go on all day about the fish we might catch, but nothing beats experiencing it yourself. Our 10-hour offshore trip is the real deal - it's got the time and range to put you on the big ones. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer with some premium fillets or just want to feel the rush of battling ocean giants, this is the trip for you. We've got room for up to six anglers, so grab your buddies or bring the family. Just remember, these trips tend to fill up fast, especially during peak season. So if you're ready to make some serious fishing memories, give us a call and let's get you on the books. The big ones are out there waiting - let's go catch 'em!

Bigeye Tuna
Bigeye tuna are deep-water powerhouses, averaging 100-200 pounds with some topping 400. You'll find them in warm offshore waters, often at depths of 250-300 feet. They're most active at dawn and dusk when they come up to feed. Bigeye are prized for their rich, fatty meat - some of the best-tasting tuna out there. They put up an incredible fight, often making long, deep runs. Summer and early fall are prime seasons as they follow bait schools. These fish have excellent vision, so we often troll at night or in low light. Large squid-imitating lures work well. Pro tip: when you hook one, be ready for a long battle. Make sure your drag is set right, or these guys will smoke your reel.
Cobia
Cobia are unmistakable with their shark-like profile and brown coloration. These bruisers average 30-50 pounds but can top 100. You'll spot them cruising near the surface around buoys, wrecks, and other structure, often tagging along with rays or sharks. Cobia fishing picks up in late spring as they migrate north. They're curious fish - sometimes they'll swim right up to the boat. Sight-fishing for them is a rush. Cobia put up a stubborn, powerful fight and taste great on the grill. Live eels or big jigs are top baits. Here's a local trick: when you see one, get a bait in front of it fast. They don't hang around long once they know you've spotted them.
Crevalle Jack
Crevalle Jack are hard-fighting bruisers that'll test your gear. These silver-sided bulldogs usually run 3-5 pounds but can top 60. You'll find them busting bait in coastal waters, especially near structures like reefs or oil rigs. Jack fishing heats up in summer when they school up to spawn. Watch for birds diving - that's a dead giveaway. These guys are pure muscle and will smoke your drag. Sight-casting to a school with topwater lures is a blast. For a real challenge, try fly fishing with big streamers. Here's a tip: Jack have great eyesight, so use long fluorocarbon leaders. They may not be the best eating, but pound-for-pound, you won't find a harder fighter.
Gag Grouper
Gag grouper are ambush predators you'll find around rocky bottoms and reefs. They average 10-20 pounds but can reach 50+. These fish love structure - wrecks, ledges, anything they can hide in. Gag fishing is best in cooler months when they move to shallower waters. They're not the prettiest fish, but they more than make up for it with their fight and flavor. Once hooked, they'll try to drag you back into their hole. Heavy tackle and a locked-down drag are musts. Live bait like pinfish or mullet works great. Here's a local secret: look for stone crab traps. Gags love hanging around them for an easy meal. Just be ready to muscle them away from the bottom when they bite.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi Mahi are stunning fish with vibrant blue-green backs, golden sides, and a dazzling light show of colors when caught. They average 15-30 pounds but can reach 60+. You'll find them near floating debris and weedlines in warm offshore waters, especially in summer. Mahi are prized for their acrobatic fights and delicious meat. They're fast-growing and bite aggressively, making for exciting action. To up your chances, look for frigate birds circling - they'll lead you right to the fish. When you spot a school, keep one hooked fish in the water to draw in the others. Fresh squid or ballyhoo on circle hooks work great as bait. Just be ready for some serious runs when they hit!
