World-Class Deep Sea Fishing in Grand Cayman

Reel in the Big Ones: 5-Hour Deep Sea Adventure

Trip Overview

Get ready for some serious offshore action with Morning Spirit Charters in Grand Cayman. You'll be heading out on the Morning Spirit, a 34' Crusader that's built to handle the waves and get you to the fish fast. This 5-hour trip is all about chasing the big ones - we're talking wahoo, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and barracuda. When the conditions are right, we'll hit up 12-Mile Bank, a hotspot for trolling and drifting that often produces the goods. And if you've got your sights set on marlin or swordfish, just let Captain Omar know, and he'll rig up accordingly. We've got all the gear, bait, and ice you need, plus we'll keep you hydrated with water and soft drinks. Bring your own lunch, and let's make it a day on the water you won't forget.

What to Expect on the Water

Once we clear the harbor, it's full throttle to the fishing grounds. We'll start by setting up a spread of lures and baits, trolling for the pelagics that cruise these waters. Captain Omar knows these waters like the back of his hand, so he'll have us in the right spots at the right times. We might switch it up and do some drifting, especially if we're after tuna or mahi-mahi. The beauty of this trip is its flexibility - we can adapt to what's biting and what you want to catch. And with a max of 6 guests, you'll have plenty of room to fight your fish and enjoy the ride. Keep your eyes peeled for flying fish skipping across the waves or frigate birds circling - they're often signs that big predators are nearby.

Top Catches This Season

Offshore fishing in Grand Cayman is a year-round affair, but each season brings its own highlights. In the warmer months, mahi-mahi (dorado) light up the water with their electric blues and greens. They're not just a pretty face - these acrobatic fish put up a heck of a fight. As we move into fall and winter, the wahoo fishing heats up. These speedsters can peel line off your reel faster than you can blink. Tuna are another staple, with yellowfin and blackfin both making regular appearances. And let's not forget about the billfish - while they're not as common, hooking into a blue marlin or sailfish can be the highlight of your trip. Captain Omar's got the know-how to put you on whatever's running, so you're in for a real shot at some world-class fishing.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi (Common Dolphinfish): These colorful acrobats are a favorite among anglers. Known for their stunning blue-green and gold coloration, mahi-mahi are as fun to catch as they are delicious to eat. They're fast growers and can reach up to 30 pounds in their first year. Look for them around floating debris or weed lines, where they hunt for smaller fish. Mahi-mahi are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, making for an exciting fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

Wahoo: If you're after speed, wahoo is your fish. These streamlined predators can hit speeds of up to 60 mph, making for some of the most thrilling runs you'll experience offshore. They're typically found in the deeper, cooler waters around Grand Cayman, often hanging around drop-offs and underwater structures. Wahoo have a reputation for their blistering initial runs and their razor-sharp teeth, which can make for some interesting battles. The best time to target them is usually from November to March, but you can find them year-round.

Yellowfin Tuna: These powerhouses are the marathoners of the sea. Yellowfin can grow to over 200 pounds, and even the smaller ones will give you a workout. They're known for their deep, powerful runs and their ability to fight for hours. We often find them in schools, so when we hook into one, there's a good chance more are nearby. Yellowfin are most abundant in the warmer months, from April to October. Keep an eye out for birds diving - that's often a sign that yellowfin are pushing bait to the surface.

Swordfish: While not as common as some other species, swordfish are the trophy that many deep-sea anglers dream of. These mysterious creatures of the deep can grow to massive sizes, with some exceeding 1,000 pounds. Swordfish typically inhabit very deep waters during the day, coming up to shallower depths at night to feed. Targeting them often involves specialized techniques like deep dropping with electric reels. While we don't encounter them on every trip, when we do, it's an experience you'll never forget.

Blackfin Tuna: The smaller cousin of the yellowfin, blackfin tuna make up for their size with their abundance and fighting spirit. These compact powerhouses typically range from 15 to 30 pounds and are known for their quick, darting runs. Blackfin are often found in large schools, which can make for non-stop action when you find them. They're great eating fish and are often caught year-round in Cayman waters, with peaks in the spring and fall. Don't let their size fool you - pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in the sea.
