Mitch and Mike worked hard to keep us on the fish and setting us up for success. We opted for a 4hr shared the charter and ended up fishing alongside a nice couple from NY. Everyone had a great time and brought in atleast one fish each, if not more, including Black Fin Tuna, Bonita, and Barracuda. While it was incredibly hot (it’s FL in June, afterall) it was well worth battling the heat to share this experience with my family. 10/10, would reccomend!
Thanks so much, Sheena! We're thrilled you and your family had such a great time with us. Mitch and Mike work hard to make sure everyone has a fun and successful trip, so they'll be happy to hear your kind words. It sounds like the fishing cooperated too, with everyone getting in on the action and bringing home some fresh fish! We know the South Florida summer heat can be intense, thats why we loving fishing on a big boat with AC on the interior and we're glad the experience made it worthwhile. Thank you for choosing to spend part of your vacation with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family back aboard the next time you're in Fort Lauderdale. Tight lines, Captain Will Daley Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing 🎣
We had a great day on the water with Capt Will and Mate Derrick. Even though the kites were flying perfectly and the spread looked textbook, the fish just weren’t biting. That’s fishing. Wound up trolling and snatched a few fish on the way back in and a nice barracuda. What stood out most was the effort and professionalism. Capt Will worked hard to put us in the right spots, constantly adjusting to conditions, while Derrick stayed sharp on the rods and baits all day. The boat was clean, organized, and ran safely. Despite the slow bite, the experience was relaxed, enjoyable, and any day on the water beats the office. We’d absolutely head back out with them and chase the next big one.
Doug, Thank you so much for fishing with us. I'm so glad you had a great time and noticed how safe, clean, and organized the boat was. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave us 5 stars, and we hope to have you back on the boat soon. Tight lines, Capt. Will
We had a great time fishing in Fort Lauderdale. We took a morning 4 hour trip and caught 10 Bonitas and 1 Barracuda. The highlight, however, was when our son reeled in a 300 pound, 7 foot two inches Bull Nurse Shark. Clean boat, friendly crew, and great communication! We highly recommend “Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing.”
Thank you so much, Brenda, for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. Your son did an incredible job battling that big Shark—what a catch and a memory he'll never forget! We're glad we could put you on plenty of action with the Bonitas and Barracuda as well. We truly appreciate your kind words about our crew, boat, and communication, and we're grateful you chose Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing. We hope to fish with your family again the next time you're in Fort Lauderdale, call us anytime! 🎣🦈 Tight lines, Capt. Will
We have been on several fishing trips, but this one was by far our best and most memorable! We caught several fish on our trip, but we will never forget catching the 7.5 ft nurse shark! Captain Will and Mike were excellent and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this charter and will definitely be going again with them!
Emily, thank you so much for the incredible review! It was a pleasure having your group aboard. We're thrilled this was your favorite fishing trip yet! Catching that 7.5-foot Nurse Shark was definitely a highlight and one of those memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks for the kind words about Mike and me—we really appreciate it. We look forward to getting you back out on the water soon for another unforgettable day; call us anytime. Thanks again for choosing Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing! 🎣🦈 Tight lines, Capt. Will

The whole crew kept it positive and fun when it was slow and celebrated that ctches when yhe hits started.... If we come bck down this way again we will book foresore!!!
Thank you so much, Shawn! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Some days the fish make us work for them, but we're glad we were able to put a few in the boat and keep everyone smiling. We're especially happy your daughter caught that Barracuda on the way in—that's a memory she'll always have! It was a pleasure having you two aboard, and we hope to fish with you again the next time you're down in South Florida. Thanks again for choosing Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing; call us anytime!
