Epic Start to 2025 Deep-Sea Fishing in Fort Lauderdale! What a wild start to 2025! Our bottom fishing on January 1st was nothing short of incredible. We pulled up some XL Vermilion Snappers—by far the biggest I’ve ever seen—along with a steady bite of groupers, which is rare off Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never seen the grouper bite so strong around here! The only downside? They went out of season at midnight on December 31st. But no worries—on January 2nd, the groupers were still biting like crazy, and even though we had to release them, the Vermilion snappers were still putting on a show. We had solid action for three days straight, releasing 13 groupers in total and making sure they went back to the bottom safe and sound. The weather has been phenomenal, with calm seas and temperatures in the mid-60s—perfect for fishing. We also caught some great-eating fish, adding to the fun. And with a cold front on the way, we’re excited—cold fronts often bring Sailfish through, and we’re ready for the action! Looking forward to more epic fishing days ahead.

Had a blast on a couple of recent trips teaching and sharing the wonderful world of fishing with these amazing kids. It’s not just about bending rods—it’s about sharing knowledge on various species and techniques, so they leave with more than just fish; they leave with unforgettable memories and skills...

Weather has been all over the place but still plenty of fish to be caught! It seems like charters are picking up a bit, but it's been a little slow the last couple months.

Trip: Fort Lauderdale Fishing Adventure

I’ve been on many fishing trips - few captains have taken care of our group as well as Captain Alek did. Insightful, hard working, knows where the fish are. Can’t recommend highly enough. 100% choose him to guide your next trip.

Justin is a great guide. He is serious and doesn’t mess around. He gets the job done. They call him hog eyes for a good reason. He will find the iquanas. If you can shoot you are golden for a great hunt. I hope to be back to hunt with him again soon ! He likes to keep a nice clean boat and expects you to follow the rules. (Just read the rules and follow the directions) to insure you have a great time! Well worth the money. Thank you Justin

What a day! JP was outstanding! He was great at showing us technique and coaching us all day long. His expertise of the area was evident immediately. We moved spots and had success at every stop. Caught BIG BASS, largemouth and peacocks. We will be back, only with JP!

Trip: Lake Okeechobee Trip - 21’ Ranger
★★★★★
I’ve been on many charter fishing trips in my life, but Bryan is hands down my favorite guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows these waters inside and out. The highlight of the trip was catching a monstrous 300-400lb shark—an experience I will never forget, and one that wouldn't have happened without the Captain’s expertise and help. Beyond the fishing, Bryan is just a fun, personable guy to hang out with. I really appreciated his coaching style; he taught us exactly what to do and then stepped back to let us actually fish, only jumping in with pointers when needed. I can’t recommend him enough and will definitely be back for another trip!
