World-Class Deep Drop Fishing | Bottoms Up

Deep Drop Fishing: 8-Hour Private Ocean Adventure

Get ready to head offshore for some serious deep drop fishing action! Our 8-hour private charter takes you 30-45 miles out where the big boys play. We're talking monster Goldeye, hard-fighting King Mackerel, and the acrobatic Mahi Mahi. This isn't your average day on the water – it's a full-on ocean expedition where you'll drop lines into the deep blue and battle it out with some of the tastiest fish in the sea.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we clear the inlet, you'll feel the excitement build. The coastline fades away and it's nothing but open ocean as far as the eye can see. We'll cruise for about an hour or two until we hit the sweet spots where the fish are biting. Once we're in position, it's time to deploy the heavy tackle and send those baits down deep. The waiting game begins, but trust me, when that rod doubles over, you'll be in for the fight of your life! We provide all the top-notch gear, so you just need to bring your A-game and maybe some snacks to keep your energy up. With a max of 4 guests, you'll have plenty of elbow room and personalized attention from the crew.

Deep Drop Lowdown

Deep drop fishing is a whole different ball game from your typical inshore or nearshore angling. We're talking serious depths here – sometimes dropping lines 600 feet or more! We use electric reels to get those baits down quickly and efficiently. It's all about precision – finding the right structure or ledge where the big fish are hanging out. We use special rigs with multiple hooks and heavy weights to keep everything where it needs to be. When a fish hits, it's like reeling up a freight train from the bottom of the ocean. But man, is it worth it when you see that massive Goldeye or shimmering Mahi come over the gunwale!

Top Catches This Season

Our anglers have been crushing it lately! We've seen some real beauties come aboard, including a 40-pound King Mackerel that took one lucky fisherman on a 20-minute sleigh ride. Just last week, a group managed to boat a limit of Mahi Mahi, with the biggest one tipping the scales at 25 pounds. And let's not forget about the Goldeye – these deep-water monsters have been showing up in force, with several in the 15-20 pound range hitting the deck. The fishing has been so hot, we've had to bring extra ice just to keep up with all the fillets!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Goldeye: These deep-water dwellers are the prize of any deep drop trip. With their huge eyes adapted for the dark depths, Goldeye are ambush predators that put up an incredible fight. They typically range from 5-20 pounds, but larger specimens over 30 pounds aren't unheard of. The best part? Their firm, white flesh makes for some of the best eating you'll ever experience. Peak season is usually late spring through early fall, but we can find them year-round in the right spots.

King Mackerel: Also known as Kingfish, these speedsters are the rockets of the ocean. They can grow over 5 feet long and weigh up to 100 pounds, though most we catch are in the 15-40 pound range. Kings are known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics. They're most abundant from April to November, but we catch them year-round on our deep water trips. Nothing beats the sight of a big King skyrocketing on a live bait!

Mahi Mahi: These are the beauty queens of the offshore world. Also called Dorado or Dolphinfish (though they're not related to dolphins), Mahi are known for their stunning blue-green and yellow colors. They're incredibly strong fighters and one of the fastest-growing fish in the sea. We typically catch them in the 10-30 pound range, but 50+ pounders are possible. Mahi are most common in the warmer months from May to September. They're often found near floating debris or weedlines, so keep your eyes peeled!
