Lake Ida Fishing Charters

Lake Ida fishing charters allow you to explore Florida the right way. Based in Fort Lauderdale, this charter offers a year-round adventure. Captain Brett was born and raised in the area and has over 20 years of fishing experience. He welcomes experienced and novice anglers, so you don’t need any preparation for this trip. Just bring a bit of a positive attitude and Capt. Brett will take care of everything else.

You’ll be fishing on a comfortable 22’ Sterling boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine that offers a safe and fast ride. Wheelchair-bound anglers are also welcome to join. The boat features navigational electronics, such as a fish finder, GPS, and a VHF radio. There’s a cooler for your drinks and snacks, but if you’re planning to take the fish home, feel free to bring your cooler.

The fish you can target is just what Capt. Brett specializes in – Largemouth Bass, Peacock Bass, Clown Knifefish, and Snakehead, using live bait and/or artificial baits. He’ll show you the best ways to catch fish with light tackle and fly fishing. The trips usually start early in the morning, but this is flexible to meet your schedule.

Your captain covers your fishing equipment and bottled water. Bring your fishing license and pack some snacks for the day.

Even pets are welcome to join, so you don’t have to leave anybody behind. Bring your friends and family and spend a fantastic day with Capt Brett’s Fishing Charters!
