Whether you're a seasoned pro or this is your first offshore rodeo, our expert crew will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. So grab your sunscreen and let's hit the high seas!

What to Expect on the Water

Once we clear the harbor, it's go time. We'll cruise out to the deep blue hunting grounds where the big boys play. Our 31-foot center console is decked out with top-of-the-line gear, so you'll be fishing in style. We run multiple lines, trolling for pelagics like marlin and wahoo. When we mark fish on the sounder or spot a feeding frenzy, we'll switch tactics faster than you can say "fish on!" The beauty of Tobago's coastline is your backdrop as we work the fertile fishing grounds. With six hours to play, we've got time to try different spots and techniques to maximize your chances of that trophy catch.

Techniques That Hook the Big Ones

Offshore fishing is an art, and we've got all the right brushes. We'll be using a mix of trolling and live baiting to target different species. For marlin and sailfish, we'll drag spreader bars and run ballyhoo on the outriggers. When we're after wahoo, it's all about high-speed trolling with wire leaders. And if the tarpon are rolling, we'll switch to live bait and chunking to entice those silver kings. Our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll adjust on the fly to give you the best shot at filling the fish box. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll walk you through every step, from setting the drag to fighting that fish of a lifetime.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Tarpon: The "Silver King" is the ultimate inshore game fish. These prehistoric beasts can top 200 pounds and put on an aerial show that'll have your heart pounding. They're known for their bony mouths and acrobatic jumps, making them a challenge to land. Spring and fall are prime time for tarpon, but we see them year-round in Tobago's waters. Nothing beats the rush of a tarpon taking to the air with your lure in its mouth!

Wahoo: Speed demons of the sea, wahoo are like the cheetahs of the ocean. They can hit speeds over 60 mph and strike so fast you'll wonder what just happened. These sleek, striped torpedoes are prized for both their fighting ability and their tasty white meat. We target wahoo year-round, but the bite really heats up in the cooler months. Hang on tight when a wahoo hits - the initial run can smoke your reel!

Crevalle Jack: Don't let their "trash fish" reputation fool you - jacks are pound-for-pound one of the hardest fighting fish in the sea. These bruisers travel in schools and when you find them, it's non-stop action. Jacks love structure, so we'll hit the reefs and wrecks to find them. They're available year-round and make for great catch-and-release fun. Be ready for some serious bicep burn when you hook into a big jack!

Striped Marlin: The acrobats of the billfish world, striped marlin are known for their incredible aerial displays. They're typically smaller than their blue and black cousins, but what they lack in size they make up for in attitude. We see stripes most often in the fall and winter months. Landing a striped marlin is a bucket list item for many anglers, and for good reason - they're absolutely beautiful fish.

White Marlin: The speedsters of the marlin family, white marlin are prized for their fast runs and tricky fighting style. They're typically found in the same areas as blues and stripes, often mixed in with the same schools of bait. White marlin season peaks in the late summer and early fall. These fish are masters of throwing the hook, so finesse and patience are key when you're hooked up to a white.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's a reason Tobago is a top destination for serious offshore anglers. Our waters are teeming with gamefish, and the variety is hard to beat. One minute you're battling a 100-pound tarpon, the next you're watching a blue marlin greyhounding across the surface. The scenery ain't too shabby either - lush green hills, secluded beaches, and that impossibly blue Caribbean water. But what really keeps folks coming back is the laid-back Tobago vibe. No pressure, no rush - just good times and great fishing. Our crew loves nothing more than putting clients on fish and sharing a cold one at the end of a successful day.
