Hot weather temps in December has lead to hot fishing! This time of year if the weather and conditions are right, magical things can happen in the Everglades. In two days we hooked 7 fish on fly and 4 on spin. All fish were over 50lbs with the biggest close...

The bite has been consistent. The mornings have produced some big Kingfish early and some monster Amberjacks mid day. Barracudas are everywhere right now. On the bottom, there have been some really big Mutton Snapper, nice Mangrove Snapper in a little shallower. An occasional Sailfish or two have been showing up late afternoon. The Mahi are way out deep, about 10 miles offshore with some small schools of big Blackfin Tuna. The Sharks were gone for the last 10 days but are now back, hanging out around the deeper shipwrecks. We caught two huge Black Groupers a few days ago and pulled the hook on several smaller ones.

We had an amazing time with the bass whisperer! He had us on the fish first couple of casts. We learned a lot and would definitely recommend booking with JP

Awesome fishing trip can’t say enough good about José. His boat is top of the line and he took care of all of our needs on the boat and made it such a great experience. Caught some really nice peacocks was a special trip

Trip: Epic Everglades Fishing
★★★★★
Amazing cast and blast day! Captain Justin is dedicated to getting you on fish and iguanas. We had a great day filled with five different species of fish and plenty of iguanas (14). We will definitely book another trip in the future! I highly recommend the homemade shore lunch. We had lemongrass chicken and it was great! Can’t say enough good things about this experience!

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!

Trip: Fort Lauderdale Offshore Adventure
★★★★★
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!

We had such a great time on this charter! Captain Nelson and his mate Jordan delivered an A+ experience. We are on a business trip and we did this as a team building exercise. All of us caught fish and enjoyed the time! Would highly recommend!
