Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to squeeze in some quality time on the water or a family wanting to introduce the kids to the thrill of sportfishing, this four-hour adventure packs a punch. Hop aboard with Lucky Dog Sportfishing, and let's make some waves!

What's On The Line

Picture this: You're cruising out of West Palm Beach as the sun's climbing, the salt air's in your face, and you've got a whole morning of fishing ahead. We'll be hitting the sweet spots just offshore where the big boys like to play. We're talking sailfish zipping through the water, mahi-mahi flashing their colors, and maybe even a wahoo screaming off your reel. Our experienced captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in for some top-notch action. And the best part? We're close enough to shore that you'll spend more time fishing and less time traveling. It's the perfect setup for a morning of rod-bending fun.

Fishing That Fits Your Style

On this trip, we're pulling out all the stops to get you on fish. We'll be using a mix of techniques to keep things interesting and the fish biting. Kite fishing is a local favorite – it's like dangling a tasty snack right in front of a fish's nose. We'll also do some trolling, dragging lines behind the boat to cover more water and entice those predators. And when the bite is hot, we'll switch to live baiting, using frisky little fish to attract the big ones. Don't worry if you're new to this – our crew will walk you through everything. Before you know it, you'll be working the lines like a pro and hopefully battling a trophy catch!

Fish on the Radar

Atlantic Sailfish: These are the rock stars of our local waters. Sailfish are known for their incredible acrobatics – when they hit your bait, get ready for a show. They'll leap and dance across the water, their sail-like dorsal fin glistening in the sun. It's a sight that'll get your heart racing every time. These speedsters are most active in our waters from late fall through spring, making them a prime target for our half-day trips.

King Mackerel: Also known as "kingfish," these sleek predators are built for speed. They'll hit your bait hard and make blistering runs that'll have your reel singing. Kings are around most of the year, but they really shine in the cooler months. When you hook one, hold on tight – these fighters can top 50 pounds!

Mahi Mahi: Also called dorado or dolphinfish (though they're not related to dolphins), mahi are some of the most beautiful fish in the sea. They're known for their vibrant colors – electric blues, greens, and yellows that seem to shift and shimmer. Mahi are fast growers and great fighters, often leaping clear out of the water when hooked. They're also delicious, making them a favorite for anglers who like to bring home dinner.

Wahoo: If you're looking for speed, wahoo are your fish. These streamlined torpedoes are one of the fastest fish in the sea, capable of short bursts over 60 mph. Hooking a wahoo often results in screaming reels as they make lightning-fast runs. They're not as common as some of our other targets, but landing one is always a special treat.

Cobia: These curious fish often show up when you least expect them. Cobia are known for following larger animals like sharks or rays, so keep your eyes peeled. They might look a bit odd with their flat heads, but don't be fooled – cobia are strong fighters that can really test your tackle. They're also excellent eating, prized for their firm, white flesh.
