By far the best tackle and hardest fisherman in Fort Lauderdale. These guys put hours of preparation to make sure that they are prepared.

This was our last adventure on vacation, and it was a perfect ending! We had a group of 4, each caught some bait fish, 3 barracudas, and 4 Mahi! Captain Taco and Dan were fantastic guides and celebrated right along with us!

Captain Greg was knowledgable and helpful. He took us out, and he and his first mate set the poles up seamlessly while we enjoyed the ride. After a slowish start - 3 Mackerels - we hooked into a 50+ pound Amber Jack. That fight lasted about 20 minutes ...Read More
