Controlled Chaos Fishing Charters
+64Controlled Chaos Fishing Charters focuses on putting their clients on the best fishing and strives to make every charter a fun, memorable event for every guest. Captain James Fenn has been fishing the waters off South Florida for over 30 years and will put you on the fish. They offer everything from family fishing trips to corporate team building events.
The Controlled Chaos is a 35 ft Contender center console boat that can comfortably take up to six guests fishing. This boat is fully rigged for tournament fishing, and you will be able to make use of its outriggers, downriggers, large livewell, and top of the range electronics to see what it feels like to go sportfishing like a pro. Powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines, the boat can reach speeds of up to forty knots, taking you to the best fishing spots in no time at all - not that you will need to head out far, with big game pelagics found within a few short miles of the coast!
Captain James Fenn and his crew are experts in a wide variety of fishing techniques, ranging from kite fishing with light tackle and live bait for Sailfish to trolling for Mahi Mahi, Billfish, and Kingfish, as well as wrestling mighty sharks with heavy tackle and bottom fishing for delicious table fare. Captain James takes pride on tailoring every trip to make sure it is what his clients are after, talking through what you want to catch and how you want to catch it, and recommending how much bait and time you will need - although he is happy to head 20 miles out if that is what you want to do.
All Controlled Chaos Fishing Charters trips come inclusive of tackle, gas, ice, water, sodas, and snacks. Just bring yourself, suitable clothing, and a healthy appetite for a great day of fishing!

Half Day Trip - Live Bait AM on June 30, 2025
We had an awesome 1/2 day fishing trip—exactly what me and the fam needed. We reeled in mahi, kingfish, and even landed a huge mutton snapper! Big thanks to the Captain James and crew for putting us on the fish and making the whole trip a blast. Great weather, good vibes, and plenty of action on the line.

Half Day Trip - Live Bait PM on June 13, 2025
The guys were very fun and very easy to get along with. They can put you on some fish for sure. Can’t go wrong by booking them. Even if the fishing is tough one day you will still have a great time with them. Very fun trip and highly recommend.
