About Your Trip

Head offshore from Ponce Inlet with Captain John for a 6, 8, or 10-hour fishing adventure built around how much time you want to spend chasing Florida's Atlantic game fish!

The 6-hour trip is a great introduction to offshore fishing, giving you enough time to venture up to roughly 20 miles off the coast while mixing bottom fishing and trolling. Depending on the season and conditions, you'll target Kingfish, Amberjack, Snapper, Sharks, and other species
holding around productive offshore waters.

The 8-hour trip gives Captain John a full day to expand the search and spend more time working productive water. You'll have more flexibility to troll for pelagic species like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Mackerel while also having the opportunity to bottom fish for Snapper, Amberjack, and other reef and structure-oriented species. The additional time allows Captain John to adjust the game plan throughout the day based on where the bite is best.

The 10-hour trip is built for anglers looking to maximize their offshore time and put a serious trolling effort together. With the longest day on the water, Captain John has more time to cover ground and search for productive offshore conditions while targeting Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Barracuda, Amberjack, and more. If you're looking for the most dedicated offshore experience Captain John offers, this is the trip for you.

No matter which duration you choose, Captain John will tailor the day around the conditions, season, and what's biting. You may spend your time trolling open water, working offshore structure, dropping baits to the bottom, or combining techniques to make the most of your trip.

You'll fish aboard Captain John's 26' Trophy Pro powered by twin 150 HP Suzuki four-stroke engines. The boat comes equipped with quality Penn and Shimano fishing gear, navigational electronics, and all necessary safety equipment.

Rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are provided, so just bring your favorite food and drinks, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and anything else you'd like for the day.

Captain John can accommodate up to 5 guests, including children ages 5 and up.
