Running angling trips out of Pompano Beach, Fishizzle Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Ed aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning. You’re looking at 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Amberjack, and Snapper, depending on the weather and time of year.

Your fishing adventure starts on the Fishizzle, a well maintained 1982 classic 32’ sport fisher. This boat features a toilet, ice box, and a fighting chair. It also has a Bluetooth stereo system and a small TV in the cabin if the kids need a break from the weather!

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can. The crew uses dependable Penn reels to bring in your fish. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Ed runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.
The price of your trip also includes complimentary snacks, drinks, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure. Fishizzle raises fish, creates memories, and provides the opportunity to explore the water. Send Captain Cook messages with any questions or concerns.
