OFFSHORE FISHING CHARTERS
The offshore trips offered by BVO gives you the best chance of catching that monster trophy fish that you have been looking for. This is your true deep sea fishing experience. Captain Jimmy recommends this trip the most, and most of our business comes from full day trips offshore. He also enjoys fishing offshore more than anywhere else. For all offshore trips, guests will get to fish aboard "Jim Buoy". Clients who choose this trip will have the choice of stopping at multiple ship wrecks, artificial reefs, and natural ledges found just miles outside of Ponce Inlet, Fl. Clients love this trip because they are able to catch some pelagic trophies, and put a good deal of meat in the freezer as well. Captain Jimmy spends at least a day, sometimes 2 days preparing for offshore trips, making the best dead bait rigs possible, and securing all necessary baits for the trip. Depending upon the current sea state and conditions, Captain Jimmy will take you to your pick of reef anywhere between 15-40 miles offshore in search of pelagic monsters and huge bottom dwellers.
A full day trip will allow time for both trolling and bottom fishing. Troll the Gulf Stream for mahi, wahoo, sailfish, and maybe the rare marlin in the morning, then bottom fish for all types of huge grouper and snapper, as well as amberjack in the afternoon. Half day trips will troll for monster kingfish and bottom fish for grouper and snapper. Captain Jimmy will use live bait, squid, sardines, and ballyhoo to stir up some action, while your only job is to hold on tight! Half day trips depart at 6:30am and return to the dock around 12:30, full day trips depart at 6:00am and return to the dock around 4:00pm. Custom departure/arrival times are offered upon request.
Our offshore charters have 4 different trip lengths: 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours. You do not need to purchase fishing licenses. Departure times can be changed upon request and may vary based on the weather and the season. We do allow children on all offshore trips. All day trips depart between 6:00am and 7:00am depending upon the season. Afternoon trips may be booked upon request.
Captain Jimmy wants more than anything for his customers to have a great time. He strives his hardest to stay on top of the fishing reports from other anglers as well as his own intuition, so that you have the best shot at catching that trophy fish. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your trip, please express this to Captain Jimmy. He will always consider a refund or rescheduled trip if warranted. We want you to enjoy your time with us.
