Taco Perez Fort Lauderdale, Florida Reported: 3 years ago

July fishing off the coast of fort Lauderdale had it’s ups and it’s downs butt all in all it was a good month for catching.
We had a real hard time fishing due to all the sea weed in the ocean. This was one of the toughest months we have had in a long time trying to fish and trying our best to keep the seaweed off our baits.
But at the end of the month looking back while yep the seaweed was a real pain the fishing was actually pretty good.
The tunas were biting well all month along with a few Wahoo’s.
One new thing we tried just to get around the sea weed was anchoring up in front of a ship wreck and WOW it paid off for us with some great bottom fishing along with a couple of sailfish.
Also found a Cuban raft floating! Coast Guard had marked it so they must have gotten everyone off?
So the sea weed actually helped and made us think out side of the box and went back to basics and fished like we did way back when.

Deep dropping for rose fish is always a local favorite they taste delicious and are plentiful year round. For thise looking to catch a fish of a lifetime the daytime deep drop swordfishing has been consistent.

Fishing has been slow, water temperature too hot and sea weed has been brutal . Alot of small mahi, some cudas, but snapper fishing has been pretty good.

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.

★★★★★
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
★★★★★
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!

★★★★★
It can be overwhelming looking for the right fishing Captain coming from out of state. Let us save you some time. I would highly recommend Captain Dave. He knows where you put your on fish. He was a lot of fun to share fishing stories with and it was the best fishing day ever for my son. 5 stars!
