Offshore Fishing for Tuna and Wels Catfish

Fishing Charter with Captain Rich Adler – Rates & Booking

Our charters include all rods, reels, tackle, and bait with experienced guidance on trolling techniques, bottom fishing setups, and live bait presentations. Half-day trips run 4-6 hours targeting mahi mahi, little tunny, and seasonal gamefish, while full-day charters extend into deeper waters for larger pelagic species. Licensed and insured with Coast Guard safety equipment, we accommodate up to 6 anglers per trip. Book online or call for current rates and availability.

Highlights of Deep Sea Fishing Adventure

Our West Palm Beach fishing charters focus on productive offshore waters where the Gulf Stream brings nutrient-rich currents close to shore. Recent trips have produced consistent action on 20-21 inch mahi mahi and little tunny using a combination of trolling spreads and bottom rigs. The summer months offer excellent conditions with partly cloudy skies and manageable seas, making it ideal for both novice and experienced anglers.

We employ multiple fishing techniques during each trip, starting with high-speed trolling to locate active schools, then switching to live bait fishing and bottom fishing when we mark fish on the sonar. This versatile approach allows us to adapt to changing conditions and target different species throughout the day.

Local Tips & Conditions

West Palm Beach offshore fishing benefits from the proximity of the Gulf Stream, which brings warm water and baitfish within 3-5 miles of the inlet. Summer conditions typically feature light winds in the morning with seas building slightly in the afternoon, making our half-day morning trips particularly comfortable for families and first-time deep sea anglers.

Water temperatures in July range from 78-82 degrees, perfect for mahi mahi and other tropical species. We monitor weather patterns closely and adjust departure times based on wind forecasts to ensure the most comfortable fishing experience possible.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our fishing charters depart from West Palm Beach marina with early morning start times to take advantage of calm conditions and active feeding periods. All necessary fishing equipment is provided, including rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice for your catch. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a cooler if you plan to take fish home.

The boat is equipped with modern electronics, safety equipment, and comfortable seating for up to 6 passengers. Captain Rich provides instruction on fishing techniques and handles all rigging, so anglers of any experience level can focus on enjoying the fight when fish are hooked.
