Each trip with Capt. Shawn can be customized to suit your needs and wishes. You can fish inshore, nearshore, the wrecks, reefs, offshore, or see what is biting in the freshwater of pompano beach . The captain is good at a wide range of fishing techniques, such as light and heavy tackle, drift fishing, jigging, popping, kite fishing, spinning, trolling, and bottom fishing.
On a day out you will get an opportunity to learn about the local species and where to find them. The captain is great with kids, as well as with anglers of all ages and experience. Whether it’s your first time on the water or you are an occasional fisherman or even a pro – each trip you choose will be an eventful and memorable experience.
Among your targeted species will be Yellowtail Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Sailfish, Wahoo, Yellowtail Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and many other saltwater species.
Your fishing trip with Capt. Shawn will include your rods, reels, tackle, live bait upon request, and lures. You will be offered soda and water, so feel free to bring your own snacks. The catch can be cleaned and filleted for you to take home after the trip.

3/4 Day Trip – Private on July 6, 2025
Shawn and Row Row were great. Caught lots of fish and had a great time. We were a last minute charter but everything work out perfectly. I would definitely recommend Gradyful Fishing Charters.

3/4 Day Trip on May 12, 2025
We took the 6hr charter and good thing we did. The first 4hrs we didn't catch anything and then all of a sudden we had 5 lines with fish. In the end we caught 14 fish to keep and had to throw back a few that were too small. Patience paid off. Would definitely recommend this charter!!

Half Day Trip – Private on October 1, 2024
We booked a half day fishing trip with Captain Shawn and his First Mate Blake for today. What a fantastic experience!!! They were so professional and accommodating. I have never seen a young man work as hard and fast as Blake! He ran circles around us preparing the rods and helping us catch the fish. We had a great day and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to fish here in Pompano.

Captain Shawn is great. He really knows the area and the fishing. Crew was great and really helpful without being in the way or doing too much. You couldn't ask for a better day on a better boat.
