In fact more trophy fish are caught on light tackle here than anywhere else in the world. Sure there are "seasons" as in most areas, but the bite is on in these waters 365 days a year, we simply change tactics accordingly. Choose from any of the following options:

Our Big Boat:
This is the flagship for Ocean Adventures. The Pampered Lady is a 40 footer with a large cabin, two bedrooms and bunks. The boat sleeps six, with a full galley, bathrooms, upperdeck/flybridge, modern electronics, booming stereo, fully outfitted for big game fishing and all excursions.

Fishing & Beach Combo: 1/2 day 8am-3pm
*Very popular with families, couples and groups up to 8. Cruise and fish our way up to a secluded bay, catch some rays on the beach, snorkel, have lunch, drinks, etc. fish on the way back. It is a casual, fun day for everyone.
Includes soft drinks & snacks *bring your favorite tunes or ipod and crank it up dude! Drinking encouraged.

Fishing/Sea Lion Combo: Full day 6am-dusk
*Another very cool Ocean Adventure, groups up to 8 fishing our way up to the Sea Lion colony, anchor and swim with sea lions in their natural environment. It is an experience of a lifetime! Includes soft drinks & lunch *the fishing is often better further out. You’ll see a lot of marine life on this one.

Big Game
*Big rods, Big reels, Big hooks, Big fish !, Hardcore, up early, back late. A lot of planning goes into this and I will often hire an experienced deckhand forthis one, limited to 3 anglers only. We can target Marlin, Sailfish, big Tuna etc. includes bait, ice, food & beverage. *It’s customary to tip the deck hand if we do well, but boy, do they earn it !

Saltwater Flyfishing
As a former licensed fly fishing guide and fly tyer from British Columbia, Canada, I can tell you, you are in for a treat! We chum the surface waters with live bait, and you can site cast to rising, slashing, schools of fish some of just incredible size! Minimum 10 weight rods with stiff butt sections are recommended, Floating lines are the norm. And oh, yeah, TONS of backing. 2 anglers per boat.

Seasons

As mentioned, there are fish to be caught consistently here 365 days a year, however, at certain times the runs of fish vary in numbers and size. Here is our best summation of the 4 seasons and what you can expect, keeping in mind that "runs" of different species overlap and change with water temperatures, availability of feed etc.

Spring: April-June
The water is warming up from winter, Yellowtail, Amberjack, Pargo, Jacks and Roosterfish are showing. Small but plentiful Dorado are arriving along with returning large game fish, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo and Tuna.

Summer: July-August
Now the water has warmed and the large Dorado are dominant, the big boys are really here now, Marlin and Sailfish become prime targets now, with long days and lots of potential for record Tuna, Wahoo, and large Roosterfish.

Fall: September-November
This is prime time and this is fishing tournament season for a good reason. Giant blue, black and striped Marlin abound, the Dorado have grown to full adult size and many are headed back out from the upper sea, after gorging all summer, and the inshore action is in full swing as well.

Winter: December-March Often windy offshore attention is turned inshore again, and it is such a neat time of year with a great mix of unusual species, and holdovers from summer. There is a great variety of Sea bass, Grouper, Snapper, highlighted with plentiful Sierra and Mullet Snapper.
