Mahi Mahi, or as the locals call 'em, dorado, are like the rock stars of offshore fishing. These neon-colored speed demons are known for their acrobatic jumps and hard fights. They're also delicious, which doesn't hurt. In Boynton Beach waters, you can find mahi year-round, but they really show up in numbers during the summer months. When you hook one, get ready for a show – these fish will leap, run, and do everything they can to shake free.
Wahoo are the speedsters of the sea. These long, sleek fish can hit speeds up to 60 mph, making for some of the most exciting strikes you'll ever experience. They're most common in the cooler months, from fall through spring. When a wahoo hits, hold on tight – the initial run can strip a hundred yards of line in seconds. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the taste of fresh wahoo on the grill after a long day of fishing.
Red Snapper might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but they're fighters through and through. These bottom-dwellers are prized for their flaky white meat and can be found year-round in the deeper waters off Boynton Beach. The challenge with red snapper is getting them up before something bigger decides to make a meal of them. It's all about quick reflexes and steady pressure when you're reeling these guys in.
Gag Grouper are the bruisers of the reef. These powerful fish love to hang around structure and will do their best to wrap you around the nearest rock or wreck. Gags are most active in the cooler months, and when you hook one, it's all about winning the tug-of-war. The fight is only half the fun – gag grouper are considered some of the best eating fish in the ocean.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewels of sportfishing. These majestic billfish are known for their stunning aerial displays and blistering speed. Sailfish season in Boynton Beach peaks in the winter months, but you can find them year-round. When a sail lights up in the spread, with its dorsal fin cutting through the water, it's a sight you'll never forget. And the moment when one goes airborne, tail-walking across the surface? Pure fishing magic.

Sailfish are the acrobats of the ocean, known for their spectacular leaps and high-flying antics. These beautiful billfish average 6-8 feet long and 60-80 pounds. You'll find them in blue water from 100-300 feet deep, often near current edges and temperature breaks. Peak season is November through May. Sailfish put on an incredible aerial show when hooked, greyhounding across the surface. To target them, slow troll live baits like goggle eyes or ballyhoo. When you get a bite, drop back and let the fish eat before setting the hook. A local trick: when you see a sail's bill slashing in your spread, cast a live bait right to it. The combination of blazing speed, acrobatic jumps, and that iconic sail make these one of the most sought-after gamefish in the Atlantic.
Gag grouper are tough customers that'll test your strength and tackle. These bruisers average 10-30 pounds but can top 50. You'll find them around rocky bottoms, reefs, and ledges in 60-250 feet of water. Peak season is typically July through December. Gags are known for their powerful first run - they'll try to dive straight back to their rocky lairs. Their firm, white meat is also top-notch eating. To target gags, drop large live baits like pinfish or mullet near structure. Use stout tackle - 50-80 lb gear isn't overkill. A local tip: keep your rod tip low and reel fast once you hook up. Don't let them get back in the rocks or you're done for. The sheer power and table quality of gag grouper make them a favorite for serious bottom fishing enthusiasts.
Mahi Mahi are some of the most exciting fish to target offshore. These colorful fighters average 15-30 pounds but can grow up to 50+ pounds. You'll find them near floating debris and weedlines in warm, blue water. Peak season is May through October. Mahi put up an acrobatic fight, leaping and tail-walking across the surface. Their firm, white meat is delicious too. To catch mahi, troll rigged ballyhoo or squid near floating structure. When you hook one, keep the boat moving - often the whole school will follow. A local trick: toss out a live bait to keep the school interested while you're fighting one. The vibrant colors and high-flying action make mahi a favorite for both seasoned anglers and first-timers.
Red snapper are prized for both their fight and flavor. These ruby-red beauties average 5-10 pounds but can reach 30+. You'll find them holding tight to structure in 60-300 feet of water. Peak season is typically June through August. Snapper put up a strong, determined fight as they try to dive back to their rocky homes. And there's no beating their sweet, white fillets for the dinner table. To target snapper, drop baited bottom rigs near reefs, wrecks, or oil rigs. Live bait like pinfish or squid works great. A local trick: when you feel the bite, reel quickly and lift the rod tip to pull them away from structure before they can break you off. The combination of sporty action and excellent eating make red snapper a favorite target for both serious and casual anglers.
Wahoo are the speedsters of the ocean, capable of blazing runs up to 60 mph. These long, sleek fish average 30-50 pounds but can top 100. Look for them along deep ledges and near floating debris in blue water, especially from July to November. Wahoo put up an incredible fight, making blistering runs that'll smoke your reel. Their firm white meat is also top-notch eating. To target wahoo, try high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with skirted lures or rigged ballyhoo. Use wire leaders - their razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono. A local tip: when you hook one, don't try to stop its first run. Let it tire itself out before working it to the boat. The sheer speed and power of wahoo make them a bucket list catch for many anglers.
