Half Day Offshore Fishing: Tuna, Wahoo & More

Ready to chase some of the fastest fish in the sea? Hop aboard with Jah Bless Charters for a half-day adventure that'll get your heart racing and your arms burning. We're talking tuna, wahoo, and even the chance at a trophy marlin—all just a quick ride from Grand Cayman's stunning shores. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, this trip's got something for everyone. So grab your sunscreen and let's hit the blue water!

What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising out of Grand Cayman, the warm breeze in your face, as we head for the rich fishing grounds offshore. We've got our sights set on the legendary 12 Mile Bank, where the big boys play. For four solid hours, we'll be trolling, jigging, and maybe even live-baiting for some of the Caribbean's most prized gamefish. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a real treat. We provide all the gear, bait, and know-how—you just bring your A-game and a good attitude. And hey, even if the fish aren't biting (which is rare), the views of Grand Cayman's coastline are worth the trip alone.

Rigging Up for the Big Ones

On this trip, we're not messing around with light tackle. We're going after the heavyweights, so we come prepared with top-notch gear. We'll be using heavy-duty offshore rods and reels, spooled with line that can handle anything from a speedy wahoo to a bull dorado. Trolling's the name of the game out here, so we'll be dragging a spread of lures and maybe even some rigged ballyhoo if the conditions are right. Keep your eyes peeled for birds working the surface—that's often a dead giveaway for schools of tuna below. And if we're lucky enough to spot a floating log or debris, we'll slow down and work it thoroughly. That's prime real estate for mahi mahi and other pelagics looking for shelter and food in the open ocean.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Albacore Tuna: These torpedo-shaped speedsters are a blast to catch and even better on the grill. They typically run 15-30 pounds out here, but we occasionally hook into some 50-pound bruisers. Albacore love to hit trolled feathers and cedar plugs, and they often travel in schools, so when you find one, get ready for non-stop action. Best time to target them is usually from late spring through early fall.

Skipjack Tuna: Don't let their smaller size fool you—skipjack fight like fish twice their weight. These striped rockets typically weigh 5-20 pounds and are known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics. They're abundant year-round but seem to peak in the summer months. Skipjack make great live bait for marlin, so we might keep one in the live well if we're feeling lucky.

Blackfin Tuna: The "footballs" of the tuna world, blackfin are compact powerhouses that'll test your stamina. They average 10-30 pounds but can push 40 in our waters. These guys are suckers for diamond jigs and often hang out near underwater structures. We find them most consistently from fall through spring, and they're absolute dynamite on light tackle if you're up for the challenge.

Yellowcheek Wrasse: While not our primary target, these colorful reef dwellers are a fun surprise when we're working shallower areas. They're known for their vibrant patterns and can reach up to 2 feet long. Yellowcheeks are curious fish and might come investigate our baits meant for bigger game. They're a year-round resident and make for some great photos if you happen to hook one.

Wahoo: Ah, the wahoo—the speed demon of the sea. These streamlined predators can hit speeds of 60 mph and strike like lightning. They average 20-40 pounds here, but 100-pounders aren't unheard of. Wahoo love fast-moving lures and put on spectacular shows when hooked. We tend to see more of them in the cooler months, but they can show up any time of year. Trust me, once you've tasted fresh wahoo steaks, you'll be hooked for life.

Time to Lock In Your Spot

Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—fishing's fishing, and some days are better than others. But I can promise you this: a day out on these Cayman waters is always time well spent. Whether you're reeling in your personal best or just soaking up the Caribbean sun, this trip's got something special. We've only got room for four anglers, so don't sleep on this opportunity. Grab your crew, book your spot, and let's make some memories out on the big blue. The fish are waiting, and trust me, you don't want to miss out on the chance to battle with some of the ocean's finest. See you on the water!
