Renowned Freeport Offshore Fishing | Carolann P

Reel In Big Game on a 12-Hour Offshore Adventure

Get ready for a serious day of offshore fishing with Carolann P Fishing Charters out of Freeport, Long Island. We're talking 12 full hours chasing after some of the Atlantic's most prized gamefish. Whether you're looking to bag your first tuna or you're an old salt after that trophy mahi, our crew's got the know-how to put you on the fish. This isn't your average boat ride – it's a full-on offshore experience where you'll test your skills against some real heavyweights of the sea.

What's the Deal with This Trip?

Picture this: You're 30 miles offshore, the coastline's long gone, and it's just you, your crew, and the vast blue. Our 12-hour private charter is the real deal for folks who want to get after the big ones. We're talking tuna, mahi mahi, wahoo – the kind of fish that'll make your arms ache and your fishing buddies back home green with envy. Our boat's kitted out with all the gear you need, and our crew? They eat, sleep, and breathe offshore fishing. They'll be right there with you, helping you land that fish of a lifetime. And don't worry if you've never done this before – we love showing newcomers the ropes. Bring the kids too; there's nothing like seeing a youngster's face light up when they hook into their first mahi.

How We Fish the Deep Blue

Out here, it's all about covering water and finding the fish. We'll be trolling – that's dragging lures behind the boat as we cruise – which is the go-to method for nabbing those pelagic predators. We've got a spread of rods out back, each one ready to sing that sweet song when a fish hits. You'll see us watching for birds, weed lines, and temperature breaks – all signs that point to where the fish are hanging out. When we're not trolling, we might switch it up with some chunking for tuna, dropping cut bait to bring them to the boat. It's a game of patience and excitement, and when that reel starts screaming, you better be ready for the fight of your life.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi, or as some folks call 'em, Dorado, are like the acrobats of the sea. These guys are known for their wild aerial displays when hooked. They're fast growers and can hit sizes over 50 pounds, though most we catch are in the 15-30 pound range. Mahi are suckers for floating debris, so we always keep an eye out for floating sargassum or logs. They're also one of the tastiest fish you'll ever eat – talk about a win-win!

Wahoo are the speed demons of the ocean. These torpedoes can sprint up to 60 mph, making for some of the most exciting strikes you'll ever see. They've got a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and a body built for speed. Wahoo tend to be loners, but when you find one, there's often more nearby. These fish can top 100 pounds, though a 40-pounder is still a trophy in anyone's book.

Yellowfin Tuna are the bread and butter of offshore fishing. These powerhouses will test your stamina with long, powerful runs. They school up, so when we find them, it can be non-stop action. Yellowfin can range from 30 pounds to well over 200, and they're absolute machines – it's like hooking into a Mack truck with fins. The best part? They make for some of the finest sushi and sashimi you'll ever taste.

White Marlin might be smaller than their blue cousins, but they more than make up for it with their acrobatics. These fish are prized for their fighting ability and their stunning looks. They're seasonal visitors to our waters, usually showing up in late summer and fall. Catching and releasing a white marlin is often the highlight of an angler's trip – it's all about the experience with these beauties.

Bluefin Tuna are the giants of the tuna world. These are the fish that legends are made of, capable of growing to over 1,000 pounds. Even the "small" ones are a handful, and hooking into one of these beasts is like trying to stop a freight train. Bluefin are highly regulated, and for good reason – they're a bucket list fish for many anglers. When they're in our waters, usually in the cooler months, it's a big deal.

Time to Lock In Your Spot

Look, if you're itching for a real offshore adventure, this is it. Twelve hours might sound like a long day, but trust me, when you're out there hauling in fish after fish, time flies. Our trips are limited to just 4 guests, so you know you're getting personalized attention. We don't provide meals, so pack a cooler with plenty of grub and drinks – fighting big fish works up an appetite! Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time heading to the canyons, we've got you covered. Don't let another season slip by without checking this off your bucket list. Give us a call, and let's get you out on the water. The fish are waiting, and the memories? They'll last a lifetime.
