Deep Water Fishing: 9-Hour Stuart Adventure

9-Hour Deep Water Adventure off Stuart

Get ready for some serious offshore action with AA Fishing Charter's 9-hour deep water trip out of Stuart, Florida. We're talking about pushing past the shoreline and heading out to where the big boys play - up to 850 feet deep. This ain't your average day on the water, folks. We've got all the gear you need, including electric reels for when your arms just can't take it anymore. We're going after the heavyweights like Grouper and Tile Fish, so come prepared to work for your dinner.

What to Expect on the Water

Listen up, because here's the deal: We meet at Mulligans restaurant parking lot. Look for the white gate on the left side of the restaurant, then follow the dock down to slip #34. That's where the magic happens. Once we're out there, we're not messing around. We've got room for 4 lucky anglers, so grab your buddies and get ready for a full day of deep dropping and battling some serious fish. Fair warning: we don't provide meals on this trip, so pack a cooler with enough grub to keep you going for 9 hours. Trust me, you're gonna need the energy.

Techniques and Gear Rundown

Alright, let's talk shop. Deep dropping isn't for the faint of heart, but man, is it worth it. We're using specialized gear including electric reels - and let me tell you, once you've used these bad boys, you'll wonder how you ever fished without 'em. They're a game-changer when you're fishing the deep stuff. We'll be targeting various Grouper species and Tile Fish, which means we need to get our bait way down there. It's a different ballgame than your typical inshore fishing, but don't worry, we'll show you the ropes. The key is patience and knowing exactly where to drop your line. Lucky for you, we know these waters like the back of our hand.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the all-stars you might be reeling in on this trip. First up, we've got Mahi Mahi, also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish. These acrobatic fighters are a blast to catch and even better to eat. They're known for their beautiful colors and their tendency to travel in pairs or small schools. Spring and summer are prime time for Mahi, but we see them year-round in these parts.

Next, there's the Wahoo. These speedsters are like the cheetahs of the sea, known to hit lures at speeds up to 60 mph. They're a bit elusive, but when you hook one, hold on tight! Late summer to early fall is usually when they're most active around here.

Now, let's talk Grouper. We've got a few different species we target: Snowy Grouper, Yellowedge Grouper, and Scamp Grouper. These bottom-dwellers are stubborn fighters, and it takes some skill to pull them up from their deep haunts. Snowys are a real prize, living in waters from 400 to 800 feet deep. Yellowedge are similar, hanging out in depths from 250 to 600 feet. Scamps are a bit shallower, usually found between 100 and 300 feet. All these groupers are known for their firm, white flesh that makes for some of the best fish tacos you'll ever have.

Each of these species presents its own challenge and reward. The Groupers test your strength and patience, while the Mahi and Wahoo challenge your reflexes and stamina. It's this variety that keeps anglers coming back for more, never knowing what they might pull up from the depths on any given drop.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I can tell you, there's something special about deep water fishing off Stuart. It's not just about the size of the fish - although trust me, we catch some monsters out there. It's about the whole experience. The anticipation as you watch your line disappear into the blue. The burn in your arms as you fight a big one. The camaraderie that comes from spending a full day on the water with your crew. And let's not forget the bragging rights when you bring home a cooler full of premium eating fish. It's a full-day adventure that'll have you hooked, pun intended.
