To those fishing in Fort Lauderdale for the first time I think the kind of trip you choose is a determining factor in what a successful outing will be. Are you going for volume or big game? Naturally big game is probably going to be less volume and require a longer trip most likely but if the conditions are right strategically speaking the bottom year is round in Florida from a volume/action perspective.

Most peoples' expectations are too high. An afternoon on the water taking in the beautiful sights and nature around us should be the goal. If you catch a fish, it was a super successful outdoor adventure. Many folks get sea-sick. Be prepared with over the counter medications from your drug store. Bring plenty of water and snacks as they aren't provided. I have fished twice in March over the past few years. On both occasions the Captain and mate worked really hard however the number of fish caught was minimal despite their efforts. If each person caught a fish or two I would have rated the March fishing higher. Even though the number of fish caught was minimal, the experience was very memorable for me and my grandchildren. We will do it again no matter what month they visit us.

Call the business ahead of time once you’ve booked something and as the captain what fish will be in season when you go. The captain will help you have a more fun experience by taking you to those fish. If you have a specific fish you are looking for ask when they are in season to get the best chance of finding that fish.

Go at 6 am with live bait and a knowledgeable guide who knows the hot spots that do switch around due to water levels. Best in the cooler months of Jan Feb march but we caught 9 flood size fish in late June.

If your visiting ft lauderdale and thinking about doing a fishing trip call Mike! You won't be disappointed. Not only is captain Mike very knowledgeable about the area, he is also knowledgeable about different species of fish, but also the best ways to cook them!

March is usually good for Black Fin and Mahi chasing the gulf stream; but we didn't do well. By chance we were there at the start of the saw grass bloom. Would recommend morning 6 hour trip; this will allow you to get our before the wind/heat pickup and out to the deeps.

I booked this trip for my husband for Father's Day. Along with a friend. They had a good time. The Captain and crew were great. Unfortunately they came home with no fish. One person caught a Grouper and my husband caught a Trigger Fish. The Captain felt bad and even stayed out a little longer but nature said No.. This also was the night fishing trip. I will definitely book again.

"Winter" months (do we even have winter in South Florida? Lol) tend to be a bit rougher out at sea. If you don't have your sea legs and have gotten nauseous a time or two in the past, now is not the time to "see" whether or not you get nauseous this time. Dramamine. All. The. Way. Either that, or maybe wait 'til spring.

This was our first trip so my only suggestion is to keep an open mind as to what you will be happy bringing home. There are many Excellent to Very Good species of fish to catch. Even if you don't catch exactly what you go out for it is likely you are going to catch some really good eating fish!

This was a difficult trip because of the choppy Rocky Waters and also trying to find a place to fish was also very difficult
Also trying to find the dock where the boat was The website was not accurate as to the location of the ball we had to call the captain to find out where to go because we ended up in the wrong area

Please, get it together with actual fishing with BAIT.. these guys think they can fool public with strips of fish (for kingfish) as real attempt to catch something else?
Total BS.. these two think by giving stories about the hugh ships moored along canals as a sight seeing tour somhow equals fishing?.

Do a little research about anglers fishing so you know what to expect. Make sure you eat what you catch. I cooked some of what we caught today and it was delicious. The taste of freshly caught fish is very different than previously frozen fish.

Book with captain mike from Florida adventure outfitters if you want a real captain with your best interests in mind. Honest and knowledgeable.

Buck Stanford
Highly recommend the morning charters vs. afternoon. While it was not until late morning, we landed most of our catches, the morning water was great.

Michael Amato
Sometimes you catch fish, sometimes you don’t. Try to enjoy the trip either way.

Get a small boat captain and be sure to have them recommend a place to have the fresh catch cooked up! Great trip!

Samantha Isard
Bring drinks and snacks for on the boat. In July be prepared for rain storms. Let your captain know what species you want to target.

Where fishing clothes, it is hot and humid!!! Don’t forget your sun tan cream. Most captains don’t like the spray kind

Hire a captain. And then let him do his job. Wally and John made the trip pleasant on the very rough conditions. But you get what you get when you fish in Florida in March

If you're going with kids bring drinks and snacks. Hats, sunscreen, and a positive attitude with those around you go a long way.

Speak to your guide about how the fishing is going at that particular time of the year. Some months are better than others
