Offshore Fishing In Pompano Beach, Florida
When you're ready to get serious about offshore fishing, there's nothing quite like heading out on the Contender 33T with Weekley Rehab Fishing Charters. This isn't your typical half-day trip - we're talking about a world-class offshore experience that puts you right in the middle of some of South Florida's best blue water action. Our 33-foot tournament-grade boat is built for one thing: getting you to the fish fast and keeping you comfortable while you're battling tuna, mackerel, and whatever else decides to grab your bait. With twin Yamaha 350s pushing us along, we'll have you on the fishing grounds before you know it, and that deep-V hull means you'll stay dry even when the seas get a little sporty.
What to Expect on the Water
You'll be fishing aboard one of the most respected names in offshore fishing boats - the Contender 33 Tournament Edition. This boat was designed by anglers, for anglers, and it shows in every detail. We've got state-of-the-art electronics that'll help us find the bait schools and structure where the big fish hang out, plus dual livewells to keep your bait frisky and ready to work. The wide beam gives everyone plenty of room to fish without getting tangled up, and with space for up to 6 anglers, this is perfect for a group that wants to experience real offshore fishing. The ride out typically takes us 10-20 miles offshore where the water turns that deep blue color and the real action begins. You'll be targeting pelagic species that cruise these warm Gulf Stream waters, and trust me, when a blackfin tuna or king mackerel hits your bait, you'll know why people get addicted to this style of fishing.
Techniques & Trolling Methods
Offshore fishing is all about covering water and presenting baits where the fish are feeding, which means we'll be doing a lot of trolling and some strategic drifting. We'll run a spread of baits - everything from rigged ballyhoo to cedar plugs and diving plugs that work different levels of the water column. The key is matching the bait to what the fish are eating and adjusting our trolling speed based on conditions and what we're seeing on the fish finder. When we mark schools of bait or temperature breaks, we might switch to live bait fishing or chunk some cut bait to get the fish fired up. The 33T's rod storage keeps everything organized so we can quickly switch tactics when the bite changes. Our electronics package includes GPS, fish finder, and radar, which means we can navigate to productive spots efficiently and safely. Don't worry if you're new to offshore fishing - we'll walk you through everything from fighting techniques to proper rod handling so you can make the most of every hookup.
Top Catches This Season
The waters off Pompano Beach are home to some seriously impressive fish, and each species brings its own challenge and excitement. Skipjack Tuna are usually the first to show up on our sonar, traveling in large schools and hitting baits with aggressive strikes. These fish might be smaller than their blackfin cousins, but they fight hard and are perfect for getting everyone warmed up. They're most active during the cooler months and early morning hours, making them a consistent target for our trips. Blackfin Tuna are the real crowd-pleasers - typically running 10-30 pounds and known for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. These fish prefer deeper water and are most active when bait schools are thick, usually from fall through spring. King Mackerel are another customer favorite, with their razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast strikes. These fish can reach impressive sizes off Pompano Beach, with 20-40 pounders being common during peak season from October through March. Mahi Mahi, or dolphin fish as locals call them, are absolute gold when we find them. They travel in schools, hit baits aggressively, and put on an amazing aerial show. Look for them around floating debris, weed lines, or temperature breaks, especially during the warmer months. Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of reaching 60 mph and stripping line off your reel faster than you'd believe. These fish are less predictable but when they're around, usually in deeper water during cooler months, they provide some of the most exciting fishing you'll ever experience.

Learn more about the species
Blackfin Tuna
Blackfin are the scrappy middleweights of the tuna family, running 20-40 pounds on average but fighting way above their weight class. These beauties have that classic tuna speed and power, just in a more manageable package. We find them along the continental shelf in 40-150 feet, especially around structure and current breaks. Peak season here is fall through spring when they move into our warmer coastal waters. Guests love them because they're fierce fighters and excellent table fare - firm, clean meat that's perfect grilled or seared. They travel in schools, often with skipjack. My go-to trick: scale down your leader to 30-pound fluoro and use smaller hooks - they're sharp-eyed and leader-shy.
King Mackerel
Kings are pure speed demons that'll test your drag system and your nerves. These torpedo-shaped predators average around 30 pounds but can push 90-plus. We find them in 40-150 feet, cruising the edges and drop-offs where baitfish gather. They're most active during warmer months when water hits 68-84 degrees. What makes them special is that blistering first run - they'll scream off 200 yards before you know what hit you. Excellent eating with firm, flaky meat, though watch the mercury if you're pregnant. We troll with wire leaders since their razor teeth will slice through mono instantly. Local trick: use a double-hook rig on live bait - kings love to hit the tail section first, so that trailing hook saves the day.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi are the crown jewels of offshore fishing - absolutely gorgeous fish that put on a show both in the water and on the plate. They average 15-29 pounds but can hit 80-plus. Look for them under floating debris, weedlines, and around current breaks in the blue water. Best action is spring through fall when they're most active near the surface. What guests love most is watching their colors change from brilliant gold and green to that light show as you bring them boatside. They're aggressive feeders and acrobatic fighters. The meat is sweet, firm, and versatile - grills beautifully. Pro tip: when you find floating sargassum or debris, work it thoroughly. Mahi love structure, and where there's one, there's usually more.
Skipjack Tuna
Skipjack are the workhorses of our offshore trips - smaller than their cousins but packed with fight. Most run 2-3 feet and around 20 pounds, perfect for lighter tackle action. You'll find them in schools out in the blue water, often mixed with juvenile yellowfin. They hit the surface hard when feeding, creating quite a show. We typically troll hoochies at 4-6 knots to find them, and once you hook up, they'll strip line fast. Great eating too - this is what ends up in most canned tuna. Best fishing is spring through fall when water temps warm up. Pro tip: when you see one, there's usually a whole school nearby, so keep multiple lines out and be ready for doubles.
Wahoo Fish
Wahoo are the speed freaks of the ocean - sleek, silver torpedoes that can hit 60 mph and strip your reel in seconds. Most run 3-5 feet, but the bite is what you'll remember. We find them in the blue water, often solitary or in small groups around floating debris. Peak season here is July through November when they cruise through our waters. They're prized for two reasons: that screaming first run that'll test your tackle, and meat that's absolutely premium - white, flaky, and mild. We troll fast at 12-15 knots with wire leaders because their razor teeth will cut anything else. Best local trick: mix up your spread with different lure speeds - wahoo are curious about fast-moving baits that look different from the rest.
