Jake and his family joined us today but windy weather made for a tough trip. We started out on the troll and had a Sailfish hit the strips three times on two separate strips but not get hooked ! We picked up a couple of barracuda and then a large bonita. When we went on the drift and put up the kite we got another bonita and picked up some reef critters. It was fun, but the wind made us work for every fish!

Mark joined us today and it was a home run ! We were trolling offshore for Bonita when I noticed there were Spanish Mackerel inshore.... a quick change in gear and we headed in and started trolling Spanish  Mackerel and Bluefish. After a couple of passes we headed back offshore and started drift fishing. Mark caught Amberjack, porgies, grunts, triggers, and other assorted reef fish. In all he caught about 25 fish in today's trip and had a ball !

Palm Beach Fishing 

We went trolling this afternoon on absolute flat seas, the ocean was beautiful. We lost a wahoo when the angler couldn't keep up with it and it out swam the boat and pulled the hook, but a king mackerel soon took his place and joined us in the boat. We followed up with some drift fishing and wrestled with some big sharks on spinning gear with a predictable outcome. We all had a great time and came home winners !

Afternoon Troll- Sailfish Marina Charters

It was 45 degrees this morning and really windy this morning, luckily it was out of the northwest so the seas were not bad. George and his family hung in there and we got a nice king trolling and then went on the drift to catch some reef fish. Beautiful day....but cold !! We had sea smoke on the water when the day started !!!

Floyd and Michael have been out with me before and they usually do well, today was exceptional ! Floyd was celebrating his 90th birthday, so what better way to celebrate than to go fishing.  The bonita and mahi were a warm up, Floyd was able to reel in a beautiful white marlin. I hope I can do this when I'm 90 !! A couple of bottom fish for dinner and we finished up an action packed 4 hour trip !!

Trina and Tara wanted to take the kids out fishing today, I decided to give then an Intercoastal experience and it was a lot of fun. You can see the excitement on Tristan's face when catching snappers. We also lost a sea monster (Goliath Grouper or Nurse Shark) when it broke off in the rubble.

Fishing has been slow the last couple of days, so I was a little nervous about today's trip. We started out trolling and my deep rod came through when we started catching some big barracudas. The surface quills were catching bonita and blue runners so between the two rods my anglers were kept busy. We then went on the drift and right away the kite bait produced...you guessed it, another barracuda. The high/low rod found a variety of snappers, porgies and reef fish so everybody was happy. We ended up the trip we five barracuda and enough fillets for lunch and dinner !

Sailfish Marina Charters Kite Fishing and Trolling

Well today was another home run, we hosted a very nice group of people from Ontario and took them bottom fishing. It took a few minutes for them to get the hang of the reels and the timing to set the hook, but then they started swinging for the fences and put quite a few tasty fish in the box ! Can't wait to fish with them again.

When Joe booked the trip, he just wanted to go bottom fishing, so that's just what we did, no trolling just plain drift fishing. It started off a little slow, but then the bite started building and when we stopped we had 18 keepers in the boat and had released another 7 or so. It was pretty good fishing for 3 anglers and I look forward to them returning.

By the end of the trip the boys had caught 10 different species including bonita, yellowtail snappers, strawberry groupers, French Grunts, unicorn filefish, Black sea bass, lizardfish, Gray triggerfish, Blue Runners and Flounder. I may have forgotten some but it was like being in a fish market !

Brian and his boys came out today, the wind was blowing last night and the ocean was still big so we stayed in the intercoastal canal. We lost a huge Goliath Grouper, he had the big rod doubled over, when the line popped after chafing on the wreck. Lots of small snappers came up, and Conner caught a nice Spanish Mackerel.

Lexie and Russ joined us today as part of their honeymoon celebration, this was our first trip out since Tropical Storm Nicole stopped by.  The water cleared up at 150 feet, but there was no troll bite. We invested an hour and half into trolling and then I pulled the plug and started drift fishing. The bottom fishing was on fire !! Lexie and Russ were novice anglers but they were pulling fish in two at a time. We had red groupers, mutton snappers, big yellowtail snappers,  mangrove snapper, squirrel fish, French grunts, and sand tilefish. They left the dock with big smiles and a big bag of fillets.

Charley brought his two sons out today and we did some trolling and drift fishing. The troll was good, we got two Mahi and one King Mackerel. When we set up on the drift first the wind died out so we couldn't use a kite, then a storm front organized so I ran in rather than deal with that !

Mahi and King Trolling in Palm Beach

Jessica and Todd are new to saltwater fishing and the wind was blowing from the northeast at a good clip this morning, so I decided to stay in the Intercoastal today. It was a good call and they had a great time catching Spanish Mackerel, Houndfish, and Blue Runners. Nothing huge, but they got their feet wet and had a lot of fun, and some great fish for lunch !

Live shrimp on spinning tackle was the ticket.

Hi, I'm&nbsp;Captain Rich Adler,&nbsp;and I have been fishing for over 46 years. It has been my whole life. My passion for fishing started when my father first took me out when I was four years old. I couldn’t remember what we caught that time, but I still remember the feeling of curiosity, thrill, and excitement. Since then, I got the salt-water disease.&nbsp;. When I turned seven, my father and I caught an 8-pound largemouth bass. As it emerged to the surface, I saw its huge bucket mouth and told my Dad that it was a monster. Many thought that it was just a phase, and they never knew that it would turn out to be my lifelong passion. Well, who can say, I just fell in love with fishing the first time I experienced it.&nbsp;I now have my Charter Boat-&nbsp;Tuna Wahoo, and I offer a full-service Florida charter fishing operation, taking families, friends, and kids fishing. I do this not just for a living but because I am happy to see them smile and get excited when they catch a fish. My Boat Details: Operating my Charter Boat is all I do 24/7, every single day. From October to July, I run my charter boat in Palm Beach, Florida. For the rest of the year, I run charter and party boats in Belmar and Point Pleasant, New Jersey. To pass the time, I fish both inshore and offshore, and my favorite catches are fluke, sea bass, bluefish, tuna, and mahi.&nbsp; &nbsp;My Specialty Techniques and Fishing Favorites: Drift Fishing:In Palm Beach I love drift fishing. We start off in the gulf stream, start out south to north, and use a kite with a couple live baits hooked up. I'll put out some flat lines for our guests to watch. We use live bait for Sailfish, Mackerel, Mahi, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, and occasionally Cobia.Our midwater baits (live or dead sardines) are for the same fish species,and I put down some bottom fishing rods with cut bait for mutton snappers, yellowtail snappers, porgies, triggerfish, all the reef fish.We are covering the entire water column, our guests are actively involved with all of these, so there's always something biting. It's a really exciting time on the water. We are always going to catch fish on these adventures. Maybe you wonder if I ever get fed up from doing this my whole life. Fishing for 24 hours a day for over 46 years- who’s crazy enough to do that, right? But, let me share with you the things that make me keep going: excitement and passion.&nbsp; I wake up every day, board my boat, and sail to the sea, and what fuels me to do that my whole life is that I never know who is going to show up at the dock. I never know what surprises we are going to catch each trip. Every day is a new experience. That’s what makes it so much fun and exciting. Ideal Guests: Another thing that keeps me going each day is the kids I board on Tuna Wahoo with me.&nbsp;All of my favorite guide experiences involve young kids. They light up when we start catching fish, the questions don’t end, and I know I am lighting a spark to keep the fishing tradition going. It makes me feel that I have a greater purpose for being a guide and a fisherman, and that purpose is to keep the fire of fishing tradition alive and burning.&nbsp; I am excited to meet you. Let's catch some fish!
