May kicks off some of the best fishing in Stuart, Florida, and we want to make sure your trip is nothing short of legendary. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or trying deep-sea fishing for the first time, these tips will help you maximize your success and enjoy every moment on the water!
1. Check the Weather and Tides
The weather and tide patterns in May can make a huge difference in your fishing experience. Fish tend to bite more actively during stable weather conditions, particularly after a series of calm, sunny days. Morning tides can be especially productive, so consider an early start to your trip. Our team will help you plan the perfect time to set sail for the best results.
2. Bring the Right Bait
If you’re targeting sailfish, one of the most exciting catches in these waters, we recommend using live bait like ballyhoo or threadfin herring. These are irresistible to predators like sailfish and mahi-mahi that are abundant in May. Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with bait selection—our crew has all you need and will set you up for success!
3. Make the Most of a 3/4 Day Charter
While half-day charters are wonderful for a quick trip, a 3/4 day charter offers the perfect balance of time on the water. It gives us more flexibility to explore deep-sea hot spots and position you for a once-in-a-lifetime catch without feeling rushed. It’s especially great if you’re hoping to target larger game fish.
4. Prepare for the Florida Sunshine
May in Florida means sunny skies and warm breezes, but don’t underestimate the sun’s intensity. Wear light, breathable clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and polarized sunglasses to protect yourself while spending hours on deck. Don’t forget sunscreen to keep your skin safe while you focus on the excitement of reeling in your catch.
5. Trust the Experts
Fishing isn’t just about casting your line and hoping for the best. Our team has decades of experience in these waters and knows the best techniques, locations, and conditions to help you succeed. Whether you’re looking to land a trophy sailfish or something tasty for dinner, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
