Nicest yellowfin I've ever gotten off of Miami Beach in 280 feet of water 1 mile south of Haulover cut literally just offshore trolling our regular spread he ate the left long ballyhoo on our 30 wide fish hit at 10:20 AM and we did not land this fish until almost 3 PM off of Port Everglades. It was a half-day 8 AM to noon. We didn't end up getting back to the dock till 4 PM with channel 7 news waiting for us that that's probably one of the nicest catches I've done off of Miami I do not count swordfish, Blue, Martin, wahoo, mahi, self Fish, etc.,

This September off the Islamorada hump we caught an estimate 200-250lb blue marlin on 20lb line He ate the short bait behind the boat and went ballistic! Right in front of the whole fleet fishing at the hump. Epic! We landed him in 45 minutes on a shimano TLD 25.

Bryan is a great Captain! We had an awesome time

Trip: Special Midweek 5hr Big Game Trip
★★★★★
We had a wonderful fishing trip with Bryan. He was very knowledgeable and helped us immensely since we had little to no experience offshore fishing. We could feel that he cared about us catching a fish and that he was trying to fulfill. In the end, we caught 3 fish - 2 rainbow runners and 1 mutton snapper and lost 3 fish. We are super happy.

Trip: Iguana Hunt
★★★★★
We highly recommend using Capt. Will! Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting much, but Capt. Will and his First Mate made it a fun trip nonetheless. Great boat, plenty of room, bathroom, A/C, etc. We would definitely rebook with them!

★★★★★
We came down for a bachelor trip, and Charlie made it unforgettable! He’s an incredible guide — hands down the best in the Fort Lauderdale area for iguana hunts. There’s no comparison; Charlie’s knowledge, energy, and hospitality put him miles ahead of anyone else, including the Python Cowboy. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
