Whether you're an early bird or prefer an afternoon adventure, we've got options that'll make your day on the water unforgettable. Let's dive into what makes this trip a must-do for any fishing enthusiast visiting Florida.
Picture this: You're cruising through the scenic inlets and intercoastal waters of Boynton Beach, rod in hand, ready to tangle with some of Florida's most sought-after inshore species. We're talking Snook, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Snapper, and even Barracuda. The best part? You've got a solid 4 hours to make it happen. Our seasoned captains know these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat. And hey, if you're in the mood for a more laid-back day, just give the captain a heads up. We can turn this into a chill cruise through some of the most beautiful waterways you'll ever see. It's your trip, your way.
Alright, let's talk fishing. We've got all the premium gear you need, so no worries if you left yours at home. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on what's biting and where. Casting, jigging, live bait fishing – you name it, we'll do it. And for you fly fishing fanatics out there, just give us a shout. We'll have two fly rods ready to go. The captain's got years of experience reading these waters, so trust me, you're in good hands. We'll be targeting the hot spots where the fish are hanging out, whether that's around structure in the inlets or along the edges of the intercoastal. And don't sweat the license – we've got you covered there too.
Let me tell you, the fishing's been on fire lately. We've had guests pulling in monster Snook right off the docks, battling Tarpon that'll make your arms feel like jelly, and hooking into Jack Crevalle that fight like they're possessed. Just last week, we had a group land a 40-inch Snook – talk about a trophy catch! The Barracuda have been putting on a show too, with their lightning-fast strikes and aerial acrobatics. Trust me, when you hook into one of these bad boys, you'll see why our guests can't stop talking about their trips.
Snook: These bad boys are the rock stars of inshore fishing. They're cunning, powerful, and put up one heck of a fight. Snook love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting docks, bridges, and mangrove shorelines. Spring and fall are prime times for Snook, but we catch 'em year-round. They're known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs, so hold on tight!
Tarpon: Known as the "Silver King," Tarpon are the ultimate bucket list fish for many anglers. These prehistoric beasts can grow over 6 feet long and weigh well over 100 pounds. They're famous for their spectacular leaps and gill-rattling head shakes. Peak season is late spring through summer, but we see some big ones in the fall too. Landing a Tarpon is a real test of skill and endurance – are you up for the challenge?
Barracuda: If you're looking for speed, Barracuda are your fish. These toothy predators are like the cheetahs of the sea, capable of short bursts of incredible speed. They're ambush hunters, often striking lures or bait fish near the surface with explosive force. We catch them year-round, but they're especially active in the warmer months. Watching a Barracuda skyrocket out of the water after your lure is a sight you won't soon forget.
Crevalle Jack: Don't let anyone tell you Jacks are just a "trash fish." These bruisers pull like freight trains and will test your stamina like few other inshore species. They often travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Jacks are here all year, but they're especially fun to target in the fall when they're chasing bait schools. Pound for pound, they're one of the hardest fighting fish in these waters.
Look, I've been guiding these waters for years, and I can tell you there's something special about fishing the inshore waters of Boynton Beach. It's not just about the fish – though trust me, they're impressive. It's about the whole experience. The way the sun glints off the water as you're reeling in your catch. The excitement of not knowing what's on the other end of your line. The stories and laughs you'll share with your buddies or family. And let's not forget the bragging rights when you land that monster Snook or your first Tarpon. Our guests love the variety of species we target and the personalized attention they get on these trips. With a max of 6 people, you're guaranteed plenty of time with the rod in your hands.

Trust me, your future self will thank you when you're out there battling a trophy catch and making memories that'll last a lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Let's get you hooked up!
Barracuda are sleek predators that'll get your heart racing. Most run 2-4 feet long with a mouthful of sharp teeth. You'll spot them lurking around reefs, wrecks, and other structure, often in 20-60 foot depths. They're here year-round but really fire up in summer. 'Cudas are lightning fast and will chase down almost any lure or bait that moves. The strikes are explosive and they'll go airborne during the fight. For the biggest ones, try trolling with wire leader and shiny tube lures. Keep an eye out for birds diving - that often means barracuda are pushing bait to the surface. Just watch those teeth when you bring one in the boat!
Jack crevalle are bruisers that'll put your tackle to the test. Most run 5-15 pounds but can top 30. Look for them busting bait on the surface near inlets, bridges, and along the beaches. They hunt in big schools, so when you find one, you've found many. Jacks feed aggressively year-round but are especially fired up in fall. These guys pull like freight trains and don't quit. Throw metal spoons, poppers, or live bait into the frenzy. A little local trick - watch for frigate birds circling high. That often means jacks are pushing bait to the surface below. Hold on tight when you hook up - these bulldogs will make your arms burn!
Snook are a prized catch around here, usually running 1-3 feet long. You'll find them lurking near mangroves, docks, and other structure in our inlets and intracoastal waters. They love ambushing baitfish, so casting lures or live bait near cover is your best bet. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps are just right. Snook put up an awesome fight - they'll make blistering runs and leap clear out of the water. The meat's great eating too, but check regulations since they're carefully managed. If you're after a big one, fish the outgoing tide at night with a large mullet or swim bait. Just be ready for that first explosive strike!
Tarpon are the silver kings of our waters, growing up to 8 feet and 280 pounds. You'll find them cruising the flats, channels, and inlets, often rolling on the surface. Spring and summer are prime time as they migrate through. Watching a 100-pounder launch itself skyward is a rush like no other. They're pure muscle and will test your stamina during long battles. We catch and release these prehistoric gamefish to keep populations healthy. For the best shot, look for "laid up" tarpon in backcountry basins on sunny afternoons. A well-placed crab or pinfish can entice a bite. Just remember to bow to the king when it jumps!
