Launch out of Dinner Key with Captain Christopher for an epic day experiencing everything the Miami waters have to offer! Relax with Captain Chris, everything is always under control. His local knowledge & patience for finding the fish is unparalleled, (recently landing a 400 pound Blue Marlin) made a crew of 3 women memories for a lifetime! To make sure you have the best possible charter experience, Captain Christopher is ready and rearing to do any kind of fishing you'd like to do. Whether that's chasing Swords, kite fishing for Sails, deep dropping for Tilefish, jigging, or bottom fishing! He can even guide spearfishing adventures, though you'll have to bring your own gear for that. Captain Christopher has some secret honey holes where the Snapper bite is on rain or shine. So if all else fails, which is rarely the case, Captain Christopher will make sure you get back to the dock with a cooler full of fish! Captain Christophers' brand new Dusky Center Console is 29 feet from propellor to bow. The whole front of the boat is a padded lounge area, making this charter great for families and avid fishermen alike! Not to mention, she comes loaded with everything you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water from rods, reels, and tackle, to fishing licenses, ice, soft drinks and water!

You and Captain Chris can try and go out and catch the bait yourselves but it is also available for purchase. Captain Chris likes to tell his clients: "If time is of the essence, rather than burn time messing around catching bait, there are plenty of guys selling bait as we leave the dock and the 20-40$ is often well-spent cash head straight out to the bigger fish." But like everything else with Captain Chris, the decision is up to you! Read More

What is nurse shark fishing in Pompano Beach all about?

Pompano Beach, nestled along Florida's southeastern coastline, offers anglers the opportunity to encounter the docile and fascinating nurse shark. These gentle giants, known for their distinctive barbels and sandy-colored skin, frequent the warm, shallow waters of Pompano Beach's coastal areas, making them a common sight for snorkelers, divers, and anglers alike. Despite their formidable appearance, nurse sharks are primarily bottom-dwellers, feeding on a diet consisting mainly of crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish.

While nurse sharks can be found in Pompano Beach's waters year-round, they are most commonly encountered during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. During this time, nurse sharks are often spotted resting on the sandy bottoms of shallow reefs, wrecks, and ledges, where they seek refuge during the day and become more active at night. Anglers targeting nurse sharks typically use heavy-duty tackle and sturdy fishing gear, as these large fish can put up a strong fight when hooked.

Nurse sharks are protected species in Florida, meaning anglers must handle them with care and release them unharmed after capture. Despite their gentle nature, nurse sharks possess powerful jaws and rows of sharp teeth, making proper handling essential for both angler safety and the shark's well-being. By respecting regulations and practicing responsible fishing techniques, anglers in Pompano Beach can enjoy memorable encounters with nurse sharks while contributing to the conservation of these remarkable creatures and their marine habitat.

What are the most popular months to fish for nurse shark fishing in Pompano Beach?

In Pompano Beach, Florida, nurse sharks can be found inhabiting the coastal waters year-round, making them a consistent sight for snorkelers, divers, and anglers alike. However, there are certain seasons where encounters with nurse sharks are more common and predictable. Generally, nurse sharks are most prevalent in Pompano Beach's waters during the warmer months, spanning from late spring through early fall. During these seasons, nurse sharks are often spotted resting on the sandy bottoms of shallow reefs, wrecks, and ledges, where they seek refuge during the day and become more active at night.

Late spring marks the beginning of the peak season for nurse shark sightings in Pompano Beach. As temperatures rise, these docile creatures become more active, venturing out from their hiding spots to forage for food along the sandy seafloor. Throughout the summer months, encounters with nurse sharks remain common, particularly for snorkelers and divers exploring the vibrant coral reefs and underwater ecosystems that Pompano Beach has to offer. However, it's important to note that nurse sharks can still be found in Pompano Beach's waters during the cooler months, albeit less frequently, as they may seek deeper and warmer waters offshore.

As fall approaches and temperatures begin to cool, nurse shark activity in Pompano Beach's coastal waters gradually decreases. While encounters with nurse sharks may still occur, they become less predictable, and sightings may become less frequent. Despite the seasonal fluctuations, Pompano Beach remains a reliable destination for encountering nurse sharks throughout the year, offering snorkelers, divers, and anglers alike the opportunity to observe and appreciate these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.

What techniques are popular for catching nurse shark in Pompano Beach?

In Pompano Beach, Florida, encountering nurse sharks in the coastal waters offers a unique and exciting experience for snorkelers, divers, and anglers alike. While nurse sharks are primarily bottom-dwellers and not typically targeted by anglers for sport, there are still techniques one can use to observe these fascinating creatures up close. One popular method for encountering nurse sharks in Pompano Beach is snorkeling or diving along the sandy bottoms of shallow reefs, wrecks, and ledges where they are known to frequent. By calmly and quietly approaching their resting areas, snorkelers and divers can often observe nurse sharks in their natural habitat without causing disturbance.

Another technique for encountering nurse sharks in Pompano Beach is baiting. While nurse sharks are not typically attracted to traditional fishing bait, they are known to be drawn to scent trails created by bait fish or other marine creatures. Snorkelers and divers can use a small amount of fish or squid to create a scent trail near a known nurse shark habitat, such as a reef or wreck, and then wait patiently for the sharks to arrive. This technique allows for close encounters with nurse sharks while minimizing disturbance to their natural behavior.

For anglers interested in catching nurse sharks in Pompano Beach, catch-and-release fishing using heavy tackle and sturdy equipment is the most common method. While nurse sharks are not typically targeted for sport fishing, they can occasionally be hooked by anglers targeting other species such as grouper or snapper. Anglers should exercise caution when handling nurse sharks, as they possess powerful jaws and rows of sharp teeth. By practicing responsible catch-and-release techniques, anglers can safely return nurse sharks to the water unharmed after capture, ensuring the conservation of these remarkable creatures for future generations to enjoy.

What other species are popular in Pompano Beach?

Beyond the gentle nurse sharks, Pompano Beach offers anglers a diverse range of species to target, making it a hotspot for fishing enthusiasts. One popular species among anglers is the highly sought-after mahi-mahi, known for its vibrant colors, acrobatic jumps, and delicious taste. These pelagic predators can be found in offshore waters, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Anglers targeting mahi-mahi often employ trolling techniques using colorful lures or rigged baits to entice strikes, providing an exciting and rewarding fishing experience.

Another prized catch in Pompano Beach is the mighty sailfish, which inhabits the warm waters off the coast year-round. Renowned for their speed and aerial displays, sailfish offer anglers an exhilarating challenge. Pompano Beach's proximity to deep waters and strategic location along the Gulf Stream make it an ideal location for targeting these majestic game fish. Anglers often troll with large baitfish or artificial lures, keeping a keen eye out for signs of feeding sailfish such as birds diving or surface disturbances.

Additionally, Pompano Beach provides ample opportunities for anglers to target a variety of bottom-dwelling species such as snapper, grouper, and amberjack. These prized game fish can be found inhabiting the numerous reefs, wrecks, and ledges that dot the offshore waters of Pompano Beach. Whether bottom fishing with live bait or jigging with artificial lures, anglers can enjoy thrilling battles and the chance to reel in trophy-sized specimens while exploring the rich marine ecosystem of Pompano Beach.
