Epic Offshore Fishing | Tuna & Sharks | Legit Fish

Weekend Warriors: Full-Day Offshore Fishing

Get ready to leave the coast in your wake and head for the big blue! Our full-day offshore trip takes you where the real action is — up to 40 miles out where the monsters lurk. We're talking trophy-sized bluefin tuna, toothy sharks, and hard-fighting stripers that'll make your arms ache (in the best way possible). Whether you're a seasoned salt or just getting your sea legs, this trip's got something for everyone. So grab your buddies, pack some grub, and let's hit the high seas for some serious fishing action!

What to Expect on the Water

We'll meet up bright and early at the dock, load up the boat, and point the bow offshore. As we cruise out, keep your eyes peeled for birds working the surface — that's often a dead giveaway for bait schools and the predators we're after. Once we reach the fishing grounds, we'll deploy a spread of lures or set up a drift, depending on what's biting. Expect a mix of trolling, chunking, and maybe even some topwater action if conditions are right. The beauty of offshore fishing is you never know what might show up, so stay on your toes! And hey, if you're feeling brave, we might even do some shark chumming (small extra fee). Nothing gets the heart pumping like a big mako or blue shark circling the boat!

Gear Up for the Big Ones

We provide all the heavy-duty gear you'll need to tangle with offshore bruisers. We're talking sturdy stand-up rods, two-speed reels loaded with braided line, and an arsenal of lures and baits. For tuna, we might run a spread of cedar plugs, feathers, and maybe a daisy chain. When shark fishing, we'll break out the wire leaders and circle hooks. And for stripers and blues, we've got everything from live eels to topwater poppers. Don't worry if you're new to this kind of fishing — we'll show you the ropes and make sure you're comfortable with the gear before the action starts.

Top Catches This Season

Offshore fishing's been on fire lately! We've been into some solid bluefin tuna in the 100-200 pound class, with a few real giants mixed in. The shark action's been nuts too — we've released several makos pushing 300 pounds and even had a thresher shark give us a show with those wild tail whips. Striped bass have been crushing topwater lures, and the bluefish blitzes... man, you've got to see it to believe it. Just walls of choppers annihilating everything in sight. It's the kind of fishing that keeps you coming back for more!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Bluefin Tuna: The heavyweight champ of our waters. These torpedoes can top 1,000 pounds, though most we catch are in the "smaller" 100-300 pound range. They're lightning fast, crazy strong, and will test every ounce of your fishing skill. We typically target them by trolling, but sometimes we'll find them busting on the surface — that's when the real rodeo begins! Best fishing is usually late summer through fall, but we can find them year-round.

Shortfin Mako Shark: If you want an airshow, look no further. Makos are famous for their acrobatic leaps and blistering runs. They're the fastest sharks in the ocean, clocked at over 40 mph. We catch them anywhere from 100 to 500+ pounds, and they fight like their tail's on fire. Mako fishing is typically best in the warmer months, but they can surprise you any time of year.

Striped Bass: The rockstars of the Northeast coast. Stripers are beloved for their hard fights, beautiful markings, and delicious meat. We catch them from 20 to 50+ pounds out here, and they'll hit everything from live bait to topwater plugs. The big ones, especially, put up a stubborn battle. Spring and fall are prime time, but summer can be red hot too.

Blue Shark: The acrobats of the shark world. Blues are known for their stunning color (hence the name) and their wild, twisting fights. They're not the biggest sharks we catch, usually in the 100-300 pound range, but what they lack in size they make up for in attitude. These guys are a blast on lighter tackle and are around pretty much all summer long.

Bluefish: Don't let their size fool you — these chompers punch way above their weight class. Ranging from 5 to 20 pounds (with some real slammers pushing 25+), bluefish are pure muscle and mean. They attack lures and bait with reckless abandon, often skyrocketing out of the water in the process. When they're in a feeding frenzy, it's some of the most exciting fishing you'll ever experience. They're here from spring through fall, with summer being prime time.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the epic battles, the stunning sunrises, and the pure adrenaline rush of offshore fishing. But why read about it when you could be living it? Our weekend trips book up fast, especially during peak season. So if you're ready to make some serious fishing memories, don't wait. Grab your crew (up to 4 anglers total), pack some snacks and drinks, and let's get out there where the big boys play. Trust me, once you feel that first scorching run from a tuna or see a mako launching 15 feet out of the water, you'll be hooked for life. See you on the water!
