Live bait fishing allows anglers to present natural offerings in a lifelike manner, increasing their chances of success when targeting these formidable predators.

Furthermore, anglers may also target jack crevalle using artificial lures such as spoons, jigs, or swimbaits, retrieved at varying speeds to imitate the movements of baitfish.

Anglers targeting snook often use live bait such as mullet, shrimp, or pilchards, as well as artificial lures like jigs, plugs, or soft plastics, presenting their offerings in areas with moving water and structure.

Another prized species in Fort Lauderdale is the tarpon, renowned for its acrobatic leaps, impressive size, and challenging fights.

    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.

    Anthony was great! He was wonderful with my 12 yo son. Would book him again in a heart beat! In fact, plan on booking him again next time we come.

    We had an incredible experience with Captain Alek! Even though the weather was far from ideal, he went above and beyond to make sure we still had a great time out on the water. This was my first time ever fishing, and Captain Alek was extremely patient—helping with baiting, walking me through the basics, and making sure I felt comfortable the whole time. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients having a good experience, regardless of conditions. Highly recommend booking with him—great guide, great attitude, and an all-around awesome trip.

    Trip: Catch And Cook Sashimi/Grilled Fish

  • ★★★★★
    Anthony reached out right after we booked and made it clear the trip could be tailored exactly how we wanted. His flexible schedule made it easy for us to pick times that worked for me and my son, which we really appreciated. If you’ve got kids, they’ll be in great hands- he’s definitely got that “dad mode” dialed in, and my son had an awesome time. We were catching fish every few minutes, and he cleaned some yellowjack and moonfish right at the dock, both of which we were eating within an hour. Would absolutely reach out to him again next time we’re in town!
