Soflo Sportfishing has a lot to offer you. Born and raised in South Florida, let Captain Dave Allen show you what Fort Lauderdale fishing is all about. Specializing in light tackle live bait fishing ,trolling planers, wreck fishing, kite fishing and shark fishing. We do it all, Let’s get you hooked up!!

Come aboard The Bounty, Classic Bertram sport fish, that is fully-equipped to take up to 6 people. With its twin 250 HP Cummins engines, the vessel is stable, fast, very spacious for your friends and family.

You’ll find all the comforts of home on this spacious boat, including a small kitchen, a seating area with air-conditioning, and a private toilet. There’s an icebox for your catch and a refrigerator where you can put your food and drinks.

Fishing-wise, Capt. Dave takes great pride in providing everything you could possibly need, including top-line rods and reels, cut bait, and an assortment of lures. If you want to use live bait, it can be purchased on the way out or caught with the captain. The boat sports a flybridge and outriggers, so you’re covered on all fronts.

When it comes to your prey, there’s a wide array of species you can hook, and your guide is happy to customize the trip to your fishing ambitions. Whether it’s majestic Sailfish, tough-fighting Wahoo or delicious Mahi Mahi and Tuna you're after, Capt. Dave can make it happen. If you prefer bottom fishing, then Grouper, Snapper, and Amberjack are all in the cards.

The first mate, Teddy, will be with you on the trip to help out with everything you need. He and the captain will even clean and fillet the catch for you after the trip. For his good work, a 18–25% tip is a great way to show your gratitude.

Kids of all ages are welcome to join you on the trip, there will be life jackets for everyone on board. Feel free to bring food and drinks, we provide coolers with ice.

GREAT CREW, GREAT TIME!
3/4 Day offshore fishing AM on June 7, 20255 adults
We booked a 6-hour fishing trip with SoFlo Sport Fishing, and overall, it was a great day on the water! Captain Dave and his mate Seth were both friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable.   Unfortunately, the fish just weren’t biting during the first 4 hours of our trip, which was a bit of a disappointment, especially since our involvement was just reeling in whatever was on the line. That said, Captain Dave and Seth were determined to find a successful spot for us, and that helped to make the trip enjoyable, despite the slow start.   It ended up being a fun and memorable trip, which is what we were looking for!

Off season success
3hr for beginners and kids on October 21, 20252 adults2 children
We booked in the off season knowing it was a gamble. We didn't score huge, but both my boys caught several bait fish and a 2 footer each (kingfish and barracuda). The crew adjusted quickly when our youngest became seasick and offered to move to calmer waters. Definitely giving it another shot in the spring time someday. Would definitely recommend.

Wife’s birthday bucket list
Half Day PM Sportfishing on July 24, 20252 adults
My wife is an avid fishing person and had never been sport fishing before. So, for her birthday, we booked a sport fishing trip with SoFlo fishing and Captain Dave. The conditions were tough and the water was rough and they tried many different approaches and methods before helping my wife catch a barracuda and a black fin tuna. Needless to say my wife had a great birthday! Thanks Captain Dave and first mate Jeff for a great evening out on the boat! Chris K

Unforgettable Fishing Trip with Captain Dave & Crew!
3/4 Day offshore fishing AM on February 23, 20256 adults
We had an absolutely incredible time with Captain Dave and his crew mate, Seth, at SoFlo Fishing Charter! From start to finish, they made our trip an unforgettable experience. Captain Dave is a true pro—knowledgeable, talented, and clearly passionate about what he does. His easy-going nature and great sense of humor made us feel right at home on the water. Seth was just as fantastic, always ready to lend a hand and share insights that made the trip even more enjoyable. Whether it was finding the perfect fishing spots, expertly guiding us, or just creating an awesome atmosphere, these guys delivered beyond expectations. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing experience in South Florida, look no further than Captain Dave and his crew. We can't wait to book our next trip! Highly recommend!
