Rods Bent, Reels Screaming
Reel in Big Game on Boynton Beach's Offshore Waters
Ready to chase some of Florida's most sought-after fish? Hop aboard with The Program Sportfishing Charters for a full day of action-packed fishing off Boynton Beach. We're talking 8 solid hours of targeting everything from hard-fighting sailfish to tasty snappers. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, Captain Christian and crew will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. Let's break down what you can expect on this offshore adventure.
What's the Deal?
This isn't your average boat ride. We're heading offshore where the big boys play. You'll be fishing the deep blue waters known for holding monster pelagics like wahoo and mahi-mahi, as well as bottom-dwelling favorites like grouper. The beauty of this trip is its flexibility - want to focus on trolling for sailfish? No problem. Rather drop lines for snapper? We've got you covered. Just give the captain a heads up on what you're after, and he'll tailor the day to match. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait, plus your fishing license for the day. All you need to bring is some grub, sunscreen, and a good attitude.
Techniques We'll Use
Offshore fishing is a whole different ball game from inshore, and we've got all the plays. For pelagics like mahi and wahoo, we'll likely be trolling - that means dragging baits or lures behind the boat as we cruise. It's a great way to cover water and find the fish. When we're after bottom-dwellers like snapper and grouper, we'll switch to drift fishing or anchoring over structure. You'll learn how to work the rod, set the hook, and fight fish like a pro. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll walk you through every step. And for you seasoned anglers, we've got some tricks up our sleeve that might just teach you a thing or two.
Top Catches This Season
Boynton Beach's waters have been on fire lately. We've been seeing some monster mahi-mahi in the 30-pound range, wahoo that'll make your drag scream, and sailfish that'll have you telling stories for years. The bottom fishing has been just as hot, with clients pulling up hefty red snappers and gag groupers that'll test your muscle. Every trip is different, but that's the beauty of it - you never know what you might hook into out here.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish): These colorful acrobats are a favorite for good reason. They're fast, they fight hard, and they're delicious on the grill. We typically find them around floating debris or weed lines. Mahi can grow over 50 pounds, but even the smaller "schoolies" put up a great fight. They're around most of the year, but peak season is late spring through summer.
Wahoo: If you want to see your line peel off at lightning speed, hope for a wahoo. These streamlined speedsters can hit 60 mph and grow to over 100 pounds. We often catch them while trolling at high speeds with lures. Fall and winter are prime wahoo time, but we see them year-round.
Red Snapper: These tasty bottom-dwellers are prized for their flaky white meat. We target them over reefs and wrecks, usually in 60-200 feet of water. Red snapper season is strictly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on. They average 5-10 pounds but can grow much larger.
Gag Grouper: Another bottom-fishing favorite, gags are known for their powerful first run. They love structure and will try to wrap you around the nearest rock or wreck. We catch them year-round, but cooler months are often best. A 20-pounder is a nice catch, but they can grow to 50+.
Atlantic Sailfish: The crown jewel of sportfishing, sailfish are known for their stunning aerial displays. We often find them in shallower water than other billfish, making them more accessible. Winter and early spring are prime sailfish season here. While they average 6-8 feet, their bills and sails make them look even more impressive.
Time to Book Your Spot
Look, I could go on all day about the fish we catch and the good times we have out there. But the truth is, nothing beats experiencing it for yourself. Whether you're looking to put some meat in the cooler or just want the thrill of battling big game fish, this trip has got you covered. Captain Christian knows these waters like the back of his hand and is always stoked to put clients on fish. So why wait? Grab your crew (up to 6 people), pack some snacks, and let's hit the water. Just remember, spots fill up fast and that deposit is non-refundable - so lock in your date now. Trust me, a day out here is worth every penny. See you on the boat!
Learn more about the species
Atlantic Sailfish
Atlantic sailfish are the acrobats of the ocean. These blue-water speedsters average 6-8 feet long and 60-80 pounds. We find them in the warm Gulf Stream current, usually within 10 miles of shore. Winter and spring are peak seasons here. Sailfish are famous for their high-flying leaps and powerful runs. Watching one light up with iridescent colors as it attacks a bait is unforgettable. Most anglers prefer catch-and-release to preserve the population. To hook up, we slow troll live baits like goggle eyes or pilchards. When a sail shows up in the spread, free-spool a bait back to it. Once it eats, give it a few seconds before setting the hook. Be ready for some spectacular aerial displays!
Gag Grouper
Gag grouper are hard-fighting bottom dwellers that'll test your strength. They average 10-20 pounds but can top 50. You'll find them lurking around reefs, ledges and wrecks in 60-250 feet of water. Fall and winter are peak seasons when they move closer to shore. Gags are ambush predators - they inhale your bait and immediately head for cover. It's a tug-of-war to keep them out of the rocks. Anglers love the challenge and the sweet, white meat. Live bait works best - pinfish or grunts are my go-to. Drop it right into the structure and be ready. When you feel the thump, reel fast and pull hard to turn their head. Keep the pressure on or they'll break you off for sure.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi Mahi are one of the most exciting fish to target offshore. These colorful fighters typically run 15-30 pounds but can reach over 80. You'll find them near floating debris and weed lines, usually within the top 100 feet of water. They're fast growers and spawn year-round, so there's always a chance to hook one. Summer and fall are peak seasons here. Mahi put up an acrobatic fight, leaping and tail-walking across the surface. Their firm white meat is delicious too, making them popular for both sport and the dinner table. When you spot one, get a live bait in the water fast - they're aggressive feeders but can lose interest quickly. I like to keep a pitch rod ready with a small live blue runner for when we come across a school.
Red Snapper
Red snapper are some of the tastiest fish in these waters. They average 5-10 pounds but can reach over 30. You'll find them hanging around reefs, wrecks, and hard bottom areas in 60-300 feet of water. Late spring through fall is prime time. Snapper fishing is all about technique - we drop weighted live baits right to the bottom. They put up a stubborn fight, trying to dive back to their structure. Anglers love the challenge and the reward of fresh snapper fillets. To increase your odds, use circle hooks and keep your bait near the bottom. I like to chum a bit to get them fired up. Once you hook one, reel steady and don't give them any slack or they'll wrap you in the rocks.
Wahoo Fish
Wahoo are the speedsters of the ocean, capable of hitting 60 mph in short bursts. These sleek, torpedo-shaped fish typically run 30-50 pounds but can top 100. We find them in blue water from 100-400 feet deep, often near dropoffs or floating structure. Fall is prime wahoo season here, but you can catch them year-round. Anglers love wahoo for their blistering runs and tasty white meat. When hooked, they'll peel off several hundred yards of line in seconds. To land one, we troll fast - 12-15 knots - with wire leaders and heavy gear. My go-to lure is a purple/black Ilander with a ballyhoo. Be ready for the strike - wahoo hit hard and don't give up easily.
