Perfect trip all around...

I enjoyed an amazing morning out on the water near Fort Lauderdale in beautiful sunshine. I did not realize how much I would enjoy fishing, and a lot of that was thanks to Brad’s guidance. He is a great teacher, offering help when needed while letting you figure things out as well. He was easy to talk to and great company. We had a fantastic time catching fish including mahi mahi and snapper. The time went by quickly because we were having so much fun. I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone.

Great trip for kids

This fishing trip was great, especially for kids and anyone new to fishing. Captain John was a genuinely nice guy, and even after a long day he stayed cheerful and helpful. He shared tips and even pointed out areas where you might see Tuna. As for the fishing, we caught plenty of fish like snapper and king mackerel, Definitely recommend.

enjoyable..

We were lucky to have warm weather, clear water, and calm conditions. We did a 6 hour trip fishing over different spots using boat rods. We caught plenty of fish and had a great time. Tim was a fantastic captain, very knowledgeable and made the morning enjoyable. At the end you could choose which fish to keep. Make sure to book ahead and you will have a great experience.

Operator response

Awesome morning out

Took a trip out on the water with capt Brad this morning and just couldn't stop catching fish! Our group of three (all adults); we all had a great time! We fished for Mutton Snapper and we caught a lot of Mutton Snapper also Sailfish & Barracuda - it was very easy despite having no previous fishing experience. We were out for about 6 hours and caught plenty of fish. The weather was beautiful, so it would have been a lovely trip even if we had caught a few! Thanks for a great morning, Brad!

Operator response

> Thank you for the awesome review—sounds like an incredible trip with nonstop action and a great mix of fish. Captain Brad will be glad to hear you all had such a fun and easygoing experience, especially as beginners. We appreciate it and hope to have you back out again soon!

Four Hour fishing trip

We had a lovely trip with Tim, who is a friendly, helpful captain. Our seven-year-old was a little timid and clearly didn’t have his sea legs, but we loved it. When we caught a hammerhead, all was forgotten, and our boy was happily celebrating. Fish this fresh doesn’t need anything else!

Operator response

That’s quite the way to find your sea legs—nothing like a hammerhead to change the mood instantly! 😄 Captain Tim will love hearing he helped turn things around for your little one. Sounds like a memorable trip with a pretty epic highlight. And you’re right… fresh fish like that speaks for itself 🎣

Great day.....

A lovely day and a perfect morning’s fishing, superbly skippered by Brad, who had us catching good-sized king mackerel straight away. Other fish included a big mutton snapper, an amberjack of at least 27 lbs, and even a shark. Highly recommended, it's a great way to spend a morning, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Operator response

Now that’s a stacked morning—king mackerel right out the gate and then an amberjack pushing 27 lbs? Not bad at all! 😄 Captain Brad will love hearing how much you enjoyed it. Sounds like one of those trips where everything just lines up perfectly. We’ll be ready for round two 🎣

family fun fishing trip!

Brad was great, very knowledgeable and competent. Nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly be back and would highly recommend Fort Lauderdale Fishing for the fishing trips in Fort Lauderdale. This time we booked 6 hours and caught a lot of hammerhead sharks, wahoo, tuna and amberjack. The next booking is in the middle of June.

Operator response

Now that’s a serious lineup—hammerheads, wahoo, tuna, and amberjack all in one trip! Captain Brad will love hearing he delivered the full experience. Sounds like you made the most of those 6 hours. We’ll be ready for you again in June 🎣

First time 6hr best trip

We booked 6 hours in advance – Captain Tim was really responsive and helpful and was waiting for us on the day. The trip was excellent. The kids loved the boat and catching the mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, and sailfish. Excellent and friendly experience. Well worth doing and so lovely to be out at Deep Sea. A real event for everyone.

Operator response

That sounds like a perfectly timed adventure—nothing like jumping on a boat and straight into the action! Captain Tim will be glad he made it smooth and fun for everyone. Sailfish and snapper is a pretty epic combo for the kids too. Thanks for the great review—we’d love to have you back out again 🎣

Fantastic Catch!

Two kids, aged 12 and 14, and three adults - everyone had a brilliant time. We caught nearly a lot of mahi-mahi, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper and sailfish under Captain Brad's expert supervision; he helped the kids get started and was very friendly, answering all our questions. We will definitely be back for the deep-sea fishing next time we are in Fort Lauderdale. A great experience,

Operator response

That’s an incredible lineup—mahi, snapper *and* sailfish… you definitely found the action! Captain Brad will love hearing how much the whole crew enjoyed it, especially the kids getting stuck in. Sounds like you’ve set the bar pretty high for that next deep-sea trip 😉🎣
