Get ready to chase some serious fish on this private 6-hour offshore trip with Morning Spirit Charters. We'll be heading out on the Morning Spirit, a 34' Crusader that's built for hardcore anglers like you. This isn't your average day on the water - we're talking deep sea action where the big boys play. You'll have a shot at landing wahoo, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, barracuda, mahi-mahi, and if you're up for it, we can even go after swordfish or marlin. Captain Omar knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he'll set you up with custom rigs for billfish if that's what you're after. We provide all the gear, bait, and ice, plus we'll keep you hydrated with water and soft drinks. Pack a lunch though - you'll work up an appetite out there!
Once we clear the reef, it's go time. We'll be using a mix of trolling and live bait fishing, depending on what's biting. The Morning Spirit is rigged with top-notch gear - we're talking heavy-duty rods and reels that can handle whatever decides to hit your line. We use a mix of lures and live bait to target different species. For tuna and mahi, we might troll with skirted lures or rig up some ballyhoo. If we're after wahoo, be ready for some high-speed trolling that'll really get your blood pumping. And if you want to tangle with a billfish, Captain Omar will break out the heavy tackle and set up a spread that's irresistible to marlin and swordfish. Just remember, offshore fishing takes patience - but when that reel starts screaming, you'll know it was worth the wait.
"We had a fantastic time reef fishing , visiting stingray sandbar and snorkeling. Omar was a joy to be around and an excellent fisherman. We will be back and hope we can arrange a trip with Omar once again," - Jennifer
"My Wife and I fished with Captain Omar and his nephew, Javari, on 3/28/24. Captain Omar put us on a bunch of porgy and a couple of snapper. He allowed us to snorkel whenever and wherever we wanted when we got too hot. Highly recommend this charter as Omar and his family have been fishing these waters for generations!" - Brad
Wahoo: These speedsters are the Ferrari of the ocean, known to hit speeds over 60 mph. They're most active in Grand Cayman waters from November to March. Wahoo put up an incredible fight and their meat is prized for its mild, sweet flavor. When you hook one, hold on tight - their initial run can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds!
Yellowfin Tuna: These powerhouses are a year-round target, but peak season is from April to August. Yellowfin can grow over 300 pounds, and even smaller ones will give you an arm-burning workout. They're known for their deep dives and long runs, so be ready for a battle. The sushi-grade meat makes for incredible eating, whether you like it raw, seared, or grilled.
Mahi-Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish, these colorful acrobats are a favorite among anglers. They're most abundant from May to October. Mahi are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, and they're often found near floating debris or weed lines. Their firm, white flesh is delicious and versatile in the kitchen.
Marlin: The holy grail of offshore fishing, blue marlin are the ultimate trophy. While they can be caught year-round, your best shot is from June to October. These massive billfish can exceed 1,000 pounds and are known for their incredible stamina and acrobatic jumps. Landing a marlin is a true test of an angler's skill and endurance - it's an experience you'll never forget.
Swordfish: These deep-dwelling gladiators are a unique target, often fished at night or in very deep water during the day. They're available year-round but tend to be more active in cooler months. Swordfish are known for their hard-fighting ability and their rich, steak-like meat. Catching one of these broadbill beauties is a true offshore accomplishment.
The fishing has been on fire lately, with some monster catches coming in. We've been seeing wahoo in the 40-60 pound range, with a few topping 80 pounds. The yellowfin tuna bite has been insane, with several fish over 100 pounds hitting the deck. Mahi-mahi have been schooling up nicely, giving us some great action and plenty of fish tacos. For the billfish enthusiasts, we've released a handful of blue marlin in the 250-400 pound class. And let's not forget about the nighttime swordfish trips - we've had a couple of broadbills pushing 300 pounds that gave anglers the fight of their lives.
Listen, if you're serious about offshore fishing, this trip is your ticket to the big leagues. Six hours gives us plenty of time to get out where the real monsters live and put you on the fish of a lifetime. Captain Omar and the Morning Spirit are the real deal - you're fishing with a local legend who knows every hidden hotspot and trick in the book. Whether you're dreaming of a grilled mahi dinner, a yellowfin tuna sashimi feast, or the photo of a lifetime with a massive marlin, we've got you covered. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait. Give us a call, lock in your date, and get ready for some serious rod-bending action. Trust me, once you feel that first big hit out in the deep blue, you'll be hooked for life. See you on the water!
