Fort Lauderdale Fishing Reports

Captain Matt was awesome and very much aware of what was needed to catch fish on our outing. 100% would recommend him for your fishing adventure!!!

I booked this trip for my husband for Father's Day. Along with a friend. They had a good time. The Captain and crew were great. Unfortunately they came home with no fish. One person caught a Grouper and my husband caught a Trigger Fish. The Captain felt bad and even stayed out a little longer but nature said No.. This also was the night fishing trip. I will definitely book again.

Hit up Dania Pier! It only costs $3.50 for a day pass on the pier. Plenty to see and plenty to catch!

We had a great time fishing in Fort Lauderdale in May. Our Captain knew just where to go and we had the time of our lives!

Waters are a little more rough in May as opposed to the summer months but a little more choppy waters get the fish more active. Quality over quantity during the month of May.

I don’t catch anything but the captain the day before caught a nice sailfish

Do not get your expectations too high until the trip is in progress because the weather can change things unexpectedly which will be no fault of anyone.

Chartering a full day to give yourself the best chance at a successful charter - fishing in late February and early March is spotty.

Forget the rough & weather sensitive ocean & go inland or inter coastal. Good fishing & no Dramamine.

Great area to fish. Good edible fish, pretty fish, big game fish all can be caught without going offshore many miles. More fishing and little drive time.

There's a chance you might even catch a 10 foot 400 pound golden dusky shark like I did!

Dress in layers if you are going on the a.m. trip and be prepared to catch a lot of fish!

This was our first trip so my only suggestion is to keep an open mind as to what you will be happy bringing home. There are many Excellent to Very Good species of fish to catch. Even if you don't catch exactly what you go out for it is likely you are going to catch some really good eating fish!

Never go fishing and expect to catch alot. Sometimes you do, sometimes you dont. This time we didnt catch anything but we'd do it again because next time we might catch more than we can keep!

Call captain JP he goes above and beyond to make it a great experience for everyone on the boat

Go with a pontoon boat for safer & more comfortable fishing in the Everglades

Make this trip a priority. Bring lots of drinks, snacks, and dramamine just in case.

Check the weather prior too. Pay attention to the moon cycle. Precheck the limitations and required sizes allowable to keep.

My family had a blast! Only a couple of fish caught but the experience was great!

Do a little research about anglers fishing so you know what to expect. Make sure you eat what you catch. I cooked some of what we caught today and it was delicious. The taste of freshly caught fish is very different than previously frozen fish.
