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...

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 that last a lifetime

Sailfish have been shallow with some 10-20# Kingfish mixed in. Random Dolphin have been around 200'. We caught some really nice Tuna and 25# in 300'. And the Goliaths have been chewing in 120' but we keep pulling hooks and we broke a 300# swivel yesterday, a factory flaw no doubt.

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.

    A terrific experience all around. Even though we didn’t catch many fish! As the crew said, that’s why they call it fishing and not catching! Still, we had a wonderful time and a lot of fun.

    Fantastic trip! It was our first time fishing anything but lakes and rivers. Alek was a great captain to take us out for this! He filleted all the fish we caught which we thought we were gonna have to find somewhere to process them to take back home with us. Thanks Alek! We will definitely book with you again!

    Bryan was awesome. He put us on multiple species of fish. We had a blast. His knowledge of the area was great and he knew how to manage the water which was nice cause the water was rough.

    Trip: Peacock Bass + Iguana Cast & Blast

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Ricky was an awesome guy. It was a full moon, rainy,windy type day and he did about all he could do to get us on fish. The only improvement I felt he could make better for his clients is having Right and Left handed reels onboard. Both of us felt awkward using left side handled bait casting reels.

    Trip: Fun Full Day Peacocks And Exotics

  • ★★★★★
    We did the cast and blast trip and were able to check a couple things off the list. One of the guys in our group was really wanting to catch a snakehead and got it done, and I was able to knock a peacock bass off my bucket list as well. We also got some good iguanas during the hunting portion of the trip. The equipment provided was top notch, especially the guns, and everything was handled with a strong focus on safety. For someone new to this type of trip, there’s definitely an opportunity to experience a little bit of everything.
