Setting off from Fort Lauderdale, All Good Charters offers both inshore and offshore fishing for all levels. The diverse waters are home to a range of species and here you’ll be able to explore them all. With Captain Matthew Schenk, you’ll be in the hands of a native to these waters. His knowledge of the area is rivaled only by his passion and he’s determined to give everyone the same opportunities he had when young.

In traversing both the shallow and deeper waters, you’ll be on a 20’ Privateer center console boat, newly restored in 2018. This boat gives you the ultimate 360-degree view of the waters and allows you to move freely when struggling against a big catch. Fish for tuna, mahi mahi, wahoo, sailfish, bonito, king mackerel, snapper, and grouper among many other fish.

Please, have in mind that live bait is not included in the price.

Children over the age of 5 are welcome aboard and Capt. Matthew will give them a helping hand to master the art of fishing early on. Any fish you’d like to take home with you will be prepared on return to the marina. That’s fun, sport, and dinner provided by All Good Charters. What more could you want?

Growing up in the Chesapeake Bay, all Captain Matthew Schenk wanted to do as a kid was fish.

Perfect conditions and an awesome bite
Perfect conditions and an awesome bite
March 16, 2023
We started out our trip trolling for over an hour and didn't get a single bite so plan b is always live bait fishing. Two minutes after getting the bait spread out we were hooked up on our first sailfish. After landing that fish we started again in the same depth and about. 30min later another one hit and we were running down our second sailfish of the day! With north wind and decent current those fish get turned on and the bait was all over the reef. We also got a keeper mutton snapper and a bonita in between the two sails to round out another great day of fishing.

For the past two weeks the sailfish bite has been hot and you never know when you will hook up on one. Today we got into some big bomber bonitas trolling, some snapper while bottom fishing, and the last thing we did was live bait fish the reef near the inlet and a big sailfish ate a live bait on the surface. After getting a quick picture we revived and released the fish.

Trolling has still been tough but there has been a decent bite on live bait even when the fishing is slow you can usually find a few to eat a live bait.
