About Your Trip

Our Super Grouper Trip is built for serious anglers looking for a true test of strength. This 9-hour adventure runs from Fort Lauderdale all the way down to Miami, covering a wide range of productive bottom grounds. We’ll be fishing depths from 90 to 300 feet, and sometimes even deeper when targeting monster deep-water grouper.

This is the only trip we offer that includes live bait in the price, paired with heavy-duty Shimano Tiagra 50s and 80 wides on stout rods—exactly what’s needed to battle these giants and other hard-pulling bottom species. If you’re ready for a challenge, this trip is all about bending rods, sore arms, and big rewards.

We supply water and a drink box for your convenience, and you’re welcome to bring along any snacks, meals, or drinks to stay fueled throughout the day. No other trip in our area compares—so come prepared to lock into some of the toughest fish South Florida has to offer!

About Your Guide

Colton Y.

Independent Guide

We are a deep sea fishing charter based out of Fort Lauderdale, FL. If you're looking for your trophy catch or some dinner for the table, we are your guys. Captain Hector and I (Captain Colton) have been fishing these waters for many years now with tons of experience on the water from Pompano all the way down to the Keys. Basically the whole southeast coast. Our fishing machine for your fishing adventure is a 36 foot Palmetto, powered by twin Honda 250 HP diesel engine. We really enjoy and look forward to putting a smile on our clients face when they get to catch a fish on one of our trips. Whether you're an experienced angler or you've never held a fishing rod before we can coach you through the correct techniques to land that trophy fish you've been waiting to catch. If a great time on the water is the experience you're looking for then look no further.

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?

I get this question a lot on charters and it's not a fish I caught but it's a fish I put a good client on. It was a 100lb Amberjack that we caught on a light jigging rod and we fought it for 30 min. Definitely an unforgettable experience.

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

A go to for me is a classic steak and some potatoes. You can never go wrong with a good ole juicy steak.

What’s your favorite band?

I don't personally have a favorite band but my favorite genre is Country music, though I love all kinds of music.

How did you get started guiding?

I had always loved to fish with my grandfather growing up in bass tournament together. Which led to him introducing me to pier fishing; where I would target nearshore species such as snook, tarpon, mackerel, mangrove snapper and a variety of other species. From there on my fishing addiction grew more and more. I started out my fishing career on a party boat in Miami, FL. I started as a mate, learning the ropes which led to me pursuing my captains license. I ran that same party boat for about 2 years which taught me a lot about fishing and how to be a captain. Fast forward to present day and now Captain Hector and I are proud owners of Get Reel Sportfishing where we get to share our some love for fishing with you!
