About Your Trip

Join Captain Scotty for an exciting offshore fishing adventure running 15 to 30 miles out into the ocean, where productive waters offer a great mix of pelagic action and bottom fishing opportunities. This trip is designed to be flexible, allowing the captain and crew to tailor the day based on what you want to target and how the bite is shaping up offshore.

If trolling is the game plan, you’ll be covering open water in search of fast-moving, hard-fighting species like Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Amberjack, and Wahoo. These offshore predators deliver explosive strikes and strong runs, making for an exciting day when fish are actively feeding near the surface.

For anglers who prefer bottom fishing, there are plenty of productive spots to drop lines and work structure. Depending on conditions, you may target Grouper, Triggerfish, Snapper, Sea Bass, Porgies, and Scup. These reef and structure species provide steady action and excellent table fare, giving you a different style of fishing with consistent bites throughout the day.

One of the best parts of this trip is its flexibility. Before leaving the dock, Captain Scotty works with your group to understand your preferences so the crew can best plan the day around trolling, bottom fishing, or a combination of both. This ensures you spend more time doing what you enjoy most and fishing the right spots for your goals.

Guests are encouraged to bring a packed lunch, sunscreen, and anything else needed for a comfortable day on the water. With extended time offshore and multiple fishing options available, preparation helps you stay focused on fishing and enjoying the experience.

Whether you're looking for fast-paced trolling action or steady bottom fishing over productive structure, Captain Scotty’s offshore charter delivers a customizable and enjoyable day on the water with plenty of opportunity for quality fish.

About Your Guide

Scotty W.

Independent Guide

Locally raised I've been on the water since I was a kid fishing with my granddad. Originally I started out commercial fishing but picked charter fishing up around 16 and haven't stopped since! We specialize in nearshore and offshore fishing. Both bottom and trolling options are available. We ask that you tip the mate 20% or greater of your charter at the end of the trip. Also fishing cleaning is available upon request for a small fee at the end of the trip. If fishing isn't your presence we also offer a family adventure package. Come learn to Efoil with us and see all the local sites like our lighthouse or local wild pony's.
