Not only will you have the opportunity to catch world class fish, but you will be able to do it in the intracoastal as you get a grand tour of urban Fort Lauderdale. Since the fishing takes place in the protected inshore waters you do not have to worry about getting seasick or having to travel far offshore in rough seas. All of our fishing is with light tackle, which makes the experience much more exciting and allows the angler to feel part of the action. Our main species we target are tarpon (sometimes over 100 pounds), snook, jack crevalle, barracuda, and sharks. We mainly fish with live bait, and most of the action is topwater giving the angler a visual experience. Anglers are welcome to hold the rod or use the rod holder until there is a bite depending on how much anglers want to participate.
I will typically meet guests at the 15th street boat ramp, but we can arrange a mutually convenient location depending on where we will be fishing and your location.
Inshore Sport Fishing with Local Guide lasts about 4 hours.

Awesome fishing trip! Zach was amazing, and we will definitel book again real soon. He was fantastic with my 13 year old boys- engaging, fun, and made sure we caught everything the boys were hoping to catch! Thank you for making this such a memorable experience Zach! If you are reading these reviews- definitely book Zach! Zach is a Fort Lauderdale native- he knows the spots, tides, times, etc! BOOK IT!
Capt Zach is the real deal. I read the reviews and booked with him and he didn’t disappoint my 18 year old son who loves fishing. Zach guided him to reel in five Barracuda and a monster 150# tarpon. Don’t hesitate, just book him.
Zack is amazing! If you want a good trip fishing, this is your guy for sure. I'll be hitting him up next time to florida.
Great trip for my grandson’s 10th birthday. He and his friend fought a 100+ lb tarpon for over 45 minutes. This will be a lifelong memory.
Captain Zach is so much fun to be around and is an amazing Captain. He knows exactly where the fish are. Had an amazing charter catching tarpon and jacks. Definitely recommend hiring Captain Zach for your next charter!!!
Zach was very friendly, knowledgeable and really worked very hard to get fish on our lines. Took his time but moved on and changed strategies when the fish were not biting.
Captain Zach is legit! Very skillful captain. We enjoyed our trip with him. Very skilled and laid back! Good time! Thank you Zach!
We had an amazing time with Captain Zach, very knowledgeable about the area and the sports to hit. We all know that chartering a fishing boat does not guarantee a catch especially when it's off season but Zach made sure we don't leave without catching tarpon and that we did. Good times!
Caught a huge tarpon on light tackle great experience. Guide was great fun easy to talk to and very informative
Excellent fishing trip with ZAC, good atmosphere, magnificent fish, carengue tarpon etc., it was great. I recommend.
