Get ready to hit the deep blue on this full-day offshore fishing trip with Rob's Guide Service. We're talking about 8 solid hours of angling action off the Treasure Coast, where the big fish play and the excitement never stops. Our 7 AM departure means we'll be on the fishing grounds while the bite is hot, giving you the best shot at landing some real beauties. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, this trip is your ticket to experiencing some of the best offshore fishing the area has to offer.
As we push off from the dock, you'll feel the anticipation building. The Treasure Coast isn't just a clever name - these waters are loaded with prized gamefish. We'll be targeting the heavy hitters: Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Grouper, Kingfish, Wahoo, Tilefish, and even the acrobatic Sailfish. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll put you right where the action is. You'll have plenty of time to try different techniques and locations throughout the day, maximizing your chances of a cooler full of fish and a camera roll full of memories.
Offshore fishing is a whole different ballgame from inshore, and we've got all the right plays. We'll be using a mix of trolling and bottom fishing to cover all our bases. For surface-feeding fish like Mahi and Tuna, we'll set up a spread of lures and baits behind the boat as we cruise the likely spots. When we're after bottom-dwellers like Grouper and Tilefish, we'll drop lines straight down with heavy weights and sturdy hooks. Our boat is decked out with top-notch gear, but feel free to bring your own if you've got a lucky rod. Just remember, out here, it's all about using the right tool for the job - and we've got 'em all.
The fish are biting, and anglers have been hauling in some real beauties lately. Mahi Mahi have been on fire, with their vibrant colors lighting up the deck. We've seen some chunky Yellowfin Tuna coming over the rails too, perfect for some fresh sashimi. The bottom fishing has been equally productive, with Snowy Grouper and Tilefish giving folks a workout on the deep drop. And let's not forget about the Sailfish - they've been putting on quite a show, with some epic aerial displays that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.
Mahi Mahi, or Common Dolphinfish, are the rockstars of offshore fishing. These neon-colored speedsters are known for their acrobatic fights and delicious meat. They usually hang around floating debris or weedlines, and when you find one, you often find the whole school. Spring through fall is prime time for Mahi, but they can be caught year-round in our warm Florida waters. Anglers love 'em because they're beautiful to look at, fun to catch, and even better to eat.
Atlantic Goldeneye Tilefish are the hidden gems of the deep. These bottom-dwellers live in waters from 600 to 1,000 feet deep, so catching them is like reeling up treasure from the ocean floor. They're most active in the warmer months, but we can target them year-round. Tilefish are prized for their firm, white flesh that some folks say tastes like lobster. Landing one of these deep-water delicacies is always a highlight of any trip.
Snowy Grouper are the heavyweight champs of the deep reef. These bruisers can grow up to 50 pounds and put up one heck of a fight. They live in waters from 300 to 700 feet deep, so when you hook one, it's a battle all the way to the surface. Snowies are available year-round, but winter tends to be the best time to target them. Anglers get pumped about Snowy Grouper not just for the challenge, but also for their mild, sweet-tasting fillets that are hard to beat on the dinner table.
Our offshore trips aren't just about fishing - they're about the whole experience. You'll spend the day soaking up the sun, feeling the sea breeze, and taking in the endless blue horizon. It's a chance to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with nature. And let's be real, there's nothing quite like the rush of adrenaline when a big fish hits your line and the reel starts screaming. Whether you're out here to fill the freezer or just for the thrill of the catch, our 8-hour trip gives you plenty of time to do it all.

Atlantic Goldeneye Tilefish are a unique deep-water catch, usually hanging out 250-800 feet down. They're not huge - typically 2-3 feet long and 40-60 pounds - but they put up a good fight on the way up. These fish like warm water and rocky bottoms. We target them year-round, but summer's often best when the seas are calmer for deep dropping. Goldeyes have a mild, sweet flavor that's popular at the dinner table. Getting them isn't easy, but that's part of the fun. We'll use heavy weights to get our bait down, usually squid or cut fish. The key is patience - let them take the bait before setting the hook. Once you feel that distinctive thump, it's game on. These fish don't give up easy, so be ready for a workout reeling them up from the depths.
Mahi Mahi are some of the most exciting fish to catch offshore. These colorful speedsters average 15-30 pounds but can get up to 80+ pounds. We usually find them near floating debris or weed lines, often in schools. They're fast swimmers and incredible jumpers when hooked. Mahi put up an acrobatic fight and taste great too - firm, mild white meat that's excellent grilled. May through September is prime Mahi season here on the Treasure Coast. To catch 'em, we'll troll with ballyhoo or lures that skip on the surface. These fish can be picky, so having a variety of bait and lure options is key. My top tip: When you hook one, keep it in the water to attract others - Mahi are curious and will often follow their hooked buddies right to the boat. It's an awesome sight to see a whole school light up those blue and green colors.
Snowy Grouper are deep-water brutes that'll test your arms and your gear. These copper-brown fish with white spots typically weigh 30 pounds but can hit 70. We find them in rocky areas 300-600 feet down. May through August is snowy season, with a limit of one per boat per day. They're ambush predators, so we drop baits like mackerel or squid right in their face. Electric reels help with the deep water, but manual cranking is doable if you're up for a workout. Snowies are prized for their sweet, flaky white meat. When you hook one, get ready for a battle - these fish fight hard all the way up. My tip: Use circle hooks to improve your chances of a good hookset at those depths. It's a real accomplishment to bring one of these deep dwellers to the surface.
