We can target your pelagic fish like Wahoo, Tuna and Sailfish or fish the deep wrecks for Amberjacks and big groupers or snappers for dinner.

    5 hours of fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. It gives us plenty of time to do a couple of different techniques to target what is biting on that day.

In the fall and spring time we also will drift with live baits out all over the water column and catch Sailfish and mahi one second and a big shark or grouper the next bite!
