Deep drop for what is around the wrecks, including Amberjack, Grouper, Cobia, and Mutton Snapper. Try kite fishing for Sailfish and get a bonus of Shark, Kingfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and many more.
If you are a big fan of Sharks, target these pelagic monsters in about 350 ft of water. Go for fast Mako Shark, Thresher Sharks that look like aliens, beautiful Hammerheads, Tiger Shark, Bull Shark, Blacktip… and the list just goes on!
One of the best things about the beautiful waters of Fort Lauderdale is that you don’t have to travel too far out to enjoy rod-bending action! Capt. Taco will take you trolling the reef for Kingfish and Bonito or offshore for something bigger. Cast with spinner rods for schools of Mahi Mahi, target Wahoo, Tuna, and occasional Blue Marlin.

Capt. Taco will take you out aboard the ‘Hooked Up.’ With 41’ of excellence, she comes powered by two 450 HP Avico engines. Inside and outside, six anglers will find ample of space and can have a seat wherever they like.

The action will take place outside the cockpit. There are 4 fighting chairs for those who are up to a challenge. All aboard!

Cap Taco is the man! He and his mate Mac were great. Captain Taco was great to work with, called the day prior to make sure we were all on the same page. once on the boat he made us feel like old friend, getting us on fish as soon as we hit the open ocean. Cap Taco kept us on the the fish while his mate Mac worked his @$$ off keeping lines in the water, and bates on the hooks and weed off. stop reading reviews and book with Capt Taco!
Taco is an amazing guy and a true professional. I'd recommend this charter to absolutely anyone - whether you're coming as a small group, a big group, or even with kids. Taco is the man. He's a local with a wealth of knowledge about the waters, the best fishing spots, and how to make the whole experience fun and successful. We landed some incredible fish —red snapper, mahi mahi, and amberjack-and had an unforgettable time out on the water. I'm super happy I had the opportunity to meet him and fish alongside him. It was an absolute blast from start to finish.
Nikola thank you very much for that very nice review and please text me your shirt size and please say thaks to #6 for me lol See you guys again soon I hope Capt Taco
We had a great time fishing with Captain Taco and his first mate Jack. Even though it was a rough day on the water, they still had us hooked on some fish! We had to cut our day short due to some sea sickness but had an experience of a lifetime catching two Sailfish at the same time. First mate Jack worked hard rigging and baiting our fish in 5 to 6 foot waves. My son and I would highly recommend fishing with Taco and crew!
matt thanks for taking the time to write this nice revyon us and great photos as well. Taco
Great trip, great captain, great mate! They worked hard all day and put us on the fish! Mahi, Tuna, and a Wahoo!

Captain Taco Perez has been mastering the waters of South Florida since the mid 70's. He fished for Jacks, Tarpon, and whatever else patrolled the canals and Intracoastal waterways. Taco's first boat was a 25' Open Fisherman, aboard which he explored the Ft. Lauderdale coast. Taco gained as much information as possible from local anglers, perfected his cast, and tried various techniques and fishing methods. Before he knew, people began asking him about fishing! Taco's repertoire is not limited to the waters of South Florida. He has fished all over Mexico, Venezuela, St. Thomas, and Turk, as well as the Bahamas. He has successfully taken part in various fishing competitions, including the Bahamas Blue Marlin tournament. Now, Captain Taco has his own charter business and he is loving every minute of it.
