Lucky Dog Sportfishing invites you for a day of fun or tournament fishing in Palm Beach, Florida. Captain Bob offers exciting fishing trips to suit anglers of all skill levels who want to experience the thrill of offshore fishing.

Your vessel for the day is a 35’ Ocean Master center console custom-built for fishing Florida waters. Powered by twin inboard 350 HP Yanmar engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 30 knots, this boat is fast and reliable. It’s fitted with top of the range electronics like a GPS full of marked productive spots, a fishfinder, and lots more. It’s also outfitted with a live well set up for kite fishing, as well as outrigger and downriggers. There’s a toilet on board, as well as a bed for your comfort.

Captain Bob Lorello loves fishing. He’s a master of the trade and a patient teacher who makes everyone’s day on his boat fun and educational. You and your family, and especially kids, will be treated to tips and instructions on how to cast, hook, and reel in your fish. For his effort, gratuity is greatly appreciated.

Anita-L Sportfishing offers nearshore and offshore trips that will also have you visiting the wrecks and reefs. These waters are abundant with Kingfish, Cobia, Barracuda, Amberjack, and Snapper. And if you head offshore on a full day trip, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Blue and White Marlin, and Wahoo are all potential targets.

Captain Bob offers Swordfish fishing trips that last 8 hours, leaving at 5:00 p.m. for the best chance of being productive. Feel free to also contact him regarding trips to the Bahamas. All trips include fishing gear, a license, drinks, snacks, and catch cleaning, just keep in mind that live bait is charged extra. Book today for a trip of a lifetime!
