It is no secret that the stretch of offshore waters from Boca Raton to Boynton Beach holds some of the finest deep sea fishing available in the United States. Captain Chris Agardy was born and raised along this fertile stretch of coastline, fishing these waters since he was 4 years old. Chris has more secret spots and tricks for deep sea fishing in this area than any other local captain. There are dozens of charter boats currently operating in this area, but most of them are run by transplant captains that have no clue what they are doing. You can be rest assured that you are guaranteed to catch fish on one of Captain Chris’ deep sea fishing charters. Chris targets wahoo, kingfish, dolphin, sailfish, tuna, cobia, kingfish, and bonito (false albacore) during his Boca Raton deep sea fishing excursions.
He is happy to teach novice anglers, but he welcomes experienced fishermen looking to hook in to the fish of a lifetime. He offers half day trips and full day trips depending on the kind of fishing you are looking for. He operates a 20′ center console for up to 4 anglers or a 42′ sport fish boat for up to 6 anglers.
Deep Sea Trolling Charters
Captain Chris’ most popular trip is a half day of deep sea trolling in the offshore waters from Boca Raton to Boynton Beach. During his trolling trips, he keeps the boat constantly moving with lines in the water and uses natural bait with lures to entice strikes from hungry wahoo, dolphin, kingfish, sailfish, tuna, and more. Trolling is the most effective way to catch the greatest quantity of fish during half day and full day offshore deep sea charters. During a typical half day trip, the boat covers over 20 miles looking for schooling fish. This gives a distinct advantage over drift fishing boats that only cover a couple miles during a trip. Trolling is the best method for catching wahoo, schoolie kingfish, and schoolie dolphin. It is also the best way to target tasty football-sized blackfin tuna.
Deep Sea Live Bait Fishing Charters
Live bait fishing is another option for anglers fishing with Captain Chris. Live bait fishing involves drifting slowly with live baitfish hooked to the lines. This type of fishing is different from trolling because it attracts bigger fish as opposed to catching a greater quantity of smaller fish. Live bait fishing is the best way to target sailfish, big kingfish, big wahoo, big tuna, cobia, and big dolphin (mahi mahi). Live bait fishing requires lots of patience while waiting for a fish to bite, but the reward can be worth the wait with monster fish being caught. Live Bait costs an extra $80 to purchase during our deep sea fishing charters, but the extra cost can be worth it for anglers looking for a trophy catch.
Monster Shark And Goliath Grouper Fishing
For those anglers looking to catch monster fish during their Boca Raton deep sea fishing charter, we offer specialized trips to local shipwrecks in which we target monster bull sharks, lemon sharks, hammerhead sharks, and goliath grouper. All of these species average 150-600lbs, and are capable of putting even the most able-bodied anglers to the test. This type of deep sea fishing is catch and release only, but there will be plenty of photo opportunities available if you land one of these sea monsters. This type of fishing involves using heavy conventional tackle to wrestle these huge sharks and fish up to the surface. This is the ultimate challenge for Deep Sea Fishing in Boca Raton.
Bottom Fishing For Snapper
We also offer specialized Boca Raton deep sea fishing charters for yellowtail, mangrove, and mutton snapper. The most productive snapper fishing occurs at night, but we offer daytime trips for snapper as well. Snapper fishing in Boca Raton involves anchoring the boat near a reef and chumming up the snapper to the boat using chunks of fish. Snapper are very small compared to the fish that are caught while trolling or live bait fishing, but they are excellent eating quality. The average mutton snapper is around 5 lbs and mangrove and yellowtail snappers are 1-2 lbs. When the snapper are biting, we can catch up to 20 keeper snapper during a 4 hour had day deep sea fishing charter in Boca Raton.
Deep Dropping For Swordfish With Electric Reels
We have excellent daytime swordfishing that occurs 15 miles off the coastline of Boca Raton. We offer Deep Sea Swordfish Charters with electric reels for fishing heavy weights at depths up to 2,000 ft. This is a relatively new fishery for one of the most challenging sport fish that roams the sea- the broadbill swordfish. Swordfish Charters are 8 hour full day trips that include the opportunity to catch dolphin, tripletail, rosefish, and tilefish as well. This is a very popular trip for people looking to harvest lots of meat from swordfish that can exceed 500 lbs!
