Full Day Offshore Fishing: Big Game in Jupiter

Ready to test your skills against some of the most challenging fish in the Atlantic? Capt. Lou's full-day offshore trip out of Jupiter, FL is your ticket to serious sportfishing action. We're talking Gulf Stream territory, where monster Sailfish, hard-fighting Tuna, and speedy Wahoo roam. This isn't your average day on the water - it's a chance to go toe-to-fin with some of the ocean's top predators.

What to Expect on the Water

First things first - this trip is designed for experienced anglers looking for a real challenge. We'll be heading way offshore into the deep blue, where the big boys play. Expect a full day of intense fishing, from sunup to sundown. Capt. Lou knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you'll be in prime position to hook into some serious fighters. We're talking heavy tackle, screaming reels, and fish that'll make your arms burn. But trust me, when you're battling a 100+ pound Sailfish, you'll forget all about being tired.

Techniques That Land Trophies

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of trolling and live baiting techniques to target the big pelagics. We'll start by setting out a spread of ballyhoo and lures, dragging them behind the boat to mimic fleeing baitfish. This method is killer for Wahoo, Kingfish, and Tuna. When we spot signs of Sailfish, we'll switch gears to live baiting. Nothing gets a Sail fired up like a frisky live bait swimming near the surface. Capt. Lou and the crew will be there every step of the way, from rigging baits to coaching you through the fight. And don't worry about gear - we've got top-of-the-line rods, reels, and tackle that can handle anything these fish dish out.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blackfin Tuna: These torpedoes of the sea are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting fish out there. They school up in the Gulf Stream waters off Jupiter, especially in the cooler months. Expect blistering runs and epic battles on light tackle. And let's not forget - they make for some of the best sashimi you'll ever taste.

Atlantic Sailfish: The crown jewel of sportfishing, Sailfish are known for their acrobatic leaps and blistering speed. Winter and early spring are prime time for Sails off Jupiter. When one of these bad boys skyrockets out of the water, bill thrashing and sail fully extended, it's a sight you'll never forget. They're catch-and-release only, but the photo op is worth its weight in gold.

Wahoo: If you want to test your drag system, hook into a Wahoo. These streamlined speedsters can hit speeds over 60 mph and make reel-screaming runs that'll have you holding on for dear life. They tend to show up more in the warmer months, and trust me, landing a big 'Hoo is a feat any angler can be proud of.

Cobia: These bruisers love to hang around structures and can often be sight-fished near the surface. They're not the prettiest fish in the sea, but what they lack in looks they make up for in fight. Cobia have a habit of making powerful runs right when you think you've got them beat, so stay on your toes.

Northern Kingfish (Kingfish): Also known as King Mackerel, these toothy predators are a blast to catch. They're known for their smoking fast runs and tendency to skyrocket out of the water when hooked. We typically target them by slow-trolling live baits. The bigger ones, which we call "smokers," can top 50 pounds and will give you a serious workout.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running charters out of Jupiter for years, and I can tell you - there's something special about fishing these waters. Maybe it's the variety - one minute you're battling a hard-charging Tuna, the next you're watching a Sailfish dance across the waves. Or maybe it's the sheer quality of the fishing. When the Gulf Stream is running right, the action can be non-stop. But I think what really keeps folks coming back is the challenge. These aren't pond fish we're after. These are some of the toughest, fastest, most beautiful creatures in the ocean. Landing one is an accomplishment you'll be bragging about for years.

Time to Book Your Spot

So there you have it, folks. A full day of world-class offshore fishing, targeting some of the most sought-after gamefish in the Atlantic. With Capt. Lou's experience, top-notch gear, and a boat built for the blue water, you've got everything you need for the fishing trip of a lifetime. Whether you're looking to check a Sailfish off your bucket list or just want to tangle with some serious offshore bruisers, this is the trip for you. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak season, so don't wait. Give us a call, and let's get you out on the water. Trust me, once you feel that first run from a Gulf Stream giant, you'll be hooked for life.

Learn more about the species

Atlantic Sailfish

Atlantic sailfish are the showstoppers of our offshore waters. They average 6-8 feet long and 30-50 pounds, with that unmistakable sail-like dorsal fin. We find them in the warm Gulf Stream current, usually in the top 100 feet of water. Winter's the peak season here, but you can hook up year-round in "Sailfish Alley" between Miami and Fort Pierce. Anglers prize sailfish for their spectacular aerial displays and blistering runs. To catch one, we'll slow-troll live baits like goggle-eyes or pilchards. When a sail shows up in the spread, be ready for action. They'll often swat at the bait with their bill before committing. Once hooked, hold on tight - these fish go ballistic, greyhounding across the surface and making lightning-fast direction changes. My top tip: when a sailfish goes airborne, drop your rod tip to give it slack. This "bowing to the king" helps keep the hook set during those wild leaps.

Blackfin Tuna

Blackfin tuna are the speedsters of the Gulf Stream, usually running 15-25 pounds but can hit 40. We find them in the warm offshore waters, often around weed lines or floating debris. They're most active here in fall, winter, and spring. Anglers love blackfin for their lightning-fast runs and the way they fight all the way to the boat. Plus, they're excellent eating - some of the best sushi-grade tuna you can get. To catch them, we'll often troll small lures or live bait like pilchards. My favorite trick is to chum them up, then cast into the frenzy with light spinning gear. Use fluorocarbon leaders - blackfin have sharp eyes and will shy away from heavy line. When you hook one, hang on tight. These tuna punch way above their weight class, making blistering runs and diving deep. It's an all-out battle from start to finish, and that's what makes blackfin such a blast to catch.

Cobia

Cobia are odd fish - they look a bit like sharks with their single dorsal fin, but they're actually closer to remoras. These bruisers can top 6 feet and 100 pounds, averaging 3-4 feet and 30-50 pounds. You'll spot them around buoys, wrecks, and other structure in 30-70 feet of water. Summer's the time to target them here, as they follow bait schools inshore. Cobia put up a heck of a fight, with powerful runs and determined battles at the boat. Their firm, white meat is prized for the dinner table too. To catch one, sight fishing is key - look for their distinctive shape just under the surface. Bucktail jigs in the 4-8 oz range are my go-to lure. Cobia can be finicky, so vary your retrieve until you find what triggers a bite. When you hook up, be ready for anything - these fish have a knack for last-second escapes.

Northern Kingfish

Northern kingfish aren't the biggest catch, but they're a fun, scrappy target in the surf. Most run 10-14 inches, topping out around 18 inches and 1-2 pounds. Look for them in the sandy bottom areas close to shore, especially near piers and jetties. Late summer's prime time when they're most abundant near the beach. Anglers enjoy the challenge - these little fighters punch above their weight class when hooked. They're also good eating, with sweet, white meat. To land one, use light tackle with a small hook. I like to tip it with a piece of clam, bloodworm, or squid. Fish right in the surf zone, keeping your bait moving with the waves. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook quick - kingfish have soft mouths and can shake loose easily. It's not glamorous fishing, but it's a great way to hone your skills while enjoying some tasty fillets.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are speedsters of the deep, known to hit 60 mph when they're really moving. These sleek predators average 3-5 feet long but can reach over 8 feet. You'll find them in the warm Gulf Stream waters, often near dropoffs or floating debris. Late summer through fall is prime wahoo time off Jupiter. Anglers love 'em for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. The meat's top-notch too - firm, white, and mild. To land one, we'll troll fast at 12-15 knots with wire leaders and lures like bulletheads or plungers. I like a spread of 4-6 lines to cover more water. When a wahoo hits, hang on tight - they'll try to shake that hook in a heartbeat. Be ready for sudden bursts of speed and some serious pulling power from these ocean rockets.
