trip description for Deep Dropping - 31' Jupiter in Pompano Beach

Deep Dropping is definitely the method of choice if you are looking to put meat in the box! Deep dropping is a newer style of fishing and the fishing grounds are still pristine.

trip description for Swordfish Trip - 30' Dusky in Pompano Beach

Head out with Captain Tyler for an epic offshore adventure chasing the elusive Swordfish! Your Captain will start the day by rigging and prepping specialty baits for this trip prior to your arrival. A stop at the bait patch is also necessary as you will be fishing your way out to the deep water; for these Swordfish trips, you will head offshore up to 30 miles. On top of chasing Swords, you can also have opportunities for Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and maybe even a Marlin on this trip as well. Once you get out to their swordfish spot, your Captain will deep drop one line then drift along the ledge for up to 1 hour at a time. Your Captain will make as many drifts as time will allow and you will fish our way back to shore. Swordfishing is a very patient process. But the rewards are well worth it! For your trip, you will be aboard one of their 30' Dusky that gives you a first-class fishing experience off Florida's Atlantic Coast. Your comfort and safety are their highest priority, and they earn their stripes every day by making your catch the biggest haul back at the dock! Captain Tyler will supply all licenses, bait, and gear! They will also provide a cooler and ice. All they ask is to keep in mind how long you will be on the water when bringing drinks and snacks! You can also bring an extra ice chest to take your catch home with you or have one of several local companies ship the fish home. Read More
