Reel in the Big Ones: Offshore Belmar Fishing

Ready to push your angling skills to the limit? Our offshore fishing trip out of Belmar is tailor-made for serious fishermen looking to tangle with some real ocean bruisers. We're talking yellowfin tuna that'll make your arms burn, mahi-mahi that leap like circus performers, and false albacore that'll test your drag system to the max. This ain't no lazy day on the bay – we're heading to the canyons where the big boys play.

The Offshore Lowdown

Hop aboard our 31-foot center console, a beast of a boat that's built for the blue water. We've got outriggers that'll let us spread a wide trolling pattern and enough deck space for six anglers to work without getting tangled up. The captain and crew know these waters like the back of their hand, so you can bet we'll be on the fish. We'll be using every trick in the book – trolling, chunking, jigging – whatever it takes to get those reels screaming. Pack some snacks and drinks 'cause we don't provide meals, but trust me, you'll be too busy fighting fish to worry about food.

Gearing Up for the Deep

Leave your light tackle at home, folks. We're bringing out the big guns for this trip. Think heavy-duty rods paired with two-speed reels that can handle the pressure when a 100-pound tuna decides to sound. Our crew will show you the ropes on using stand-up gear if you're not used to it. We'll be trolling with a spread of ballyhoo and artificial lures, maybe dragging some cedar plugs for those finicky tuna. When we mark a school on the fish finder, be ready to switch it up and drop some jigs or chunks. It's all about staying flexible out here – the fish don't always play by the rules.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Yellowfin Tuna: These torpedoes with fins are the main event. Yellowfin can top 200 pounds out here, and they fight like their tails are on fire. They school up in the warm months, usually from June to October. When you hook one, it's game on – expect long, powerful runs that'll have you circling the boat. The best part? Yellowfin make for some of the best sashimi you'll ever taste.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish, these neon-colored acrobats are a blast to catch. They love to hang around floating debris, so keep an eye out for weed lines or floating boards. Mahi will hit just about anything – from trolled ballyhoo to topwater poppers. They're most common from July to September. The males, with their big square heads, can get up to 50 pounds, but even the smaller ones put on an aerial show you won't forget.

False Albacore: Don't let the "false" fool you – these little tuna pack a serious punch. Also called "albies" or "little tunny," these speedsters can burn some serious line when they decide to run. They typically show up in late summer and fall, often busting bait on the surface. Light tackle anglers love 'em because they fight way above their weight class. They're not great eating, but for pure pound-for-pound fighting ability, it's hard to beat an albie.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, there's fishing, and then there's FISHING. This trip is for folks who want to test their mettle against some of the ocean's toughest customers. It's not just about catching fish – it's about the whole experience. The anticipation as we clear the inlet, the camaraderie of working together to find the bite, and that heart-stopping moment when a rod doubles over and line starts peeling off the reel. You'll come back with sore muscles, maybe a bit of sunburn, and stories that'll make your fishing buddies green with envy.

Learn more about the species

Albacore Tuna

Albacore are the speed demons of the tuna world. These sleek, bullet-shaped fish typically run 20-45 pounds out here. Look for them in deeper, cooler waters offshore, often traveling in massive schools. Late spring through early fall is prime time when they follow bait migrations. Anglers love the fast-paced action - when you find a school, it's non-stop reeling. The meat is prized too, known for its light color and mild flavor. We usually troll with cedar plugs or feathers to locate schools. Once we're on fish, live bait like anchovies or sardines can be killer. Pro tip: watch for diving birds and bait balls on the surface. Albacore often push prey up from below, creating a feeding frenzy you can spot from a distance. When you see that, it's game on.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi are the acrobats of the blue water. These colorful speedsters average 15-30 pounds, with larger bulls pushing 50+. You'll spot them near floating debris and weedlines, often in pairs or small groups. They're here spring through fall, with summer being the peak. Mahi are famous for their wild aerial displays when hooked - expect plenty of jumps and direction changes. Anglers love 'em for the fight and the table. The meat is mild and versatile, great for tacos or grilled. We usually troll with ballyhoo or squid near floating structure to find them. Once located, casting live bait or bright lures can trigger a feeding frenzy. Local trick: if you hook one, keep it in the water. Others will often stick around, giving you shots at multiple fish.

Yellowfin Tuna

Yellowfin are powerhouses of the offshore world. These torpedo-shaped fish typically run 60-100 pounds out here, but can top 400 in rare cases. You'll find them in the warmer, upper layers of the ocean, often hanging around floating debris or temperature breaks. Late summer into fall is prime time, when they move closer to shore chasing bait. Anglers love 'em for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics - these guys will test your stamina. The meat is prized too, great for sashimi or grilled steaks. We usually troll with rigged ballyhoo or cedar plugs to locate schools. Once we're on fish, live bait or chunking can be deadly. Pro tip: when you see birds working the surface, get ready. Yellowfin often push bait to the top, creating a feeding frenzy you don't want to miss.
