Based out of Pompano Beach, Reel Addiction Charter Service is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with Capt. Eddie, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 10-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, and Barracuda, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 28’ Mako boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. As for fishing licenses, they are also included with the price of the trip.

The live bait trips do not include bait, so be sure to get in touch with the captain about what your options are prior to the trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

Capt. Eddie 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. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
