About Your Trip

Get ready for the ultimate offshore adventure with Captain Zach as you chase down trophy fish in the Northern Gulf of Mexico! Whether you're looking to battle powerful Yellowfin Tuna, hook into a massive Marlin, or test your strength against a Swordfish, Captain Zach’s got the expertise and equipment to make it happen. Every trip is tailored to your preferences, so whether you want to focus on Tuna in the morning and switch to Swordfishing in the afternoon, or mix things up by targeting Wahoo or deep-dropping for Grouper and Tilefish, you’ll be in for an unforgettable day on the water.

Your day starts with an exhilarating run out to the deep Bluewater, where Captain Zach’s local knowledge and years of experience put you in prime position to hook up with some of the Gulf’s most prized species. Tuna fishing at sunrise is an adrenaline rush you won’t soon forget, with these hard-fighting fish known for their speed and strength. As the day moves on, you can switch gears and go after Swordfish—one of the most sought-after catches in the Gulf. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also troll for Marlin or Wahoo, making this trip a true offshore experience.

But it’s not just about the thrill of the chase! On your way back to shore, you’ll have the option to deep drop for Grouper, Tilefish, and other delicious bottom-dwellers, giving you a chance to fill the cooler with tasty fish for the dinner table. Captain Zach provides everything you need for your trip, including top-quality rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. His first mate will be by your side to ensure your lines are always ready, and at the end of the day, they’ll even clean and fillet your catch for you.

With room for up to six anglers, this trip is perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking to spend a day fishing the rich waters of the Gulf. All licenses, fuel, and gear are included, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm, snacks, drinks, and sunblock.
