Want to catch the biggest fish in Fort Lauderdale? Look no further than 'Big Game Sportfishing Charters'! Captain Rod Roydhouse has over 3 decades of experience in these waters and looks forward to showing novice and experienced anglers alike a great time fishing for some of Florida's finest.

Hop aboard a 46' Hatteras sport fishing boat, which can accommodate up to 6 guests. She has a large fishing cockpit with a big game fighting chair, a fully air-conditioned cabin with sofas, and upper deck flybridge where the captain steers the boat from. She also features the latest in tech including GPS, Fish Finder, outriggers, and downriggers.

Your target list is vast and depends on seasonality. Head down during the fall and winter and it's all about Sailfish, one of the most sought after catches in South Florida. Come spring and summer you'll face off with hard-fighting Sharks including Hammerhead, Mako, Thresher, and Tiger.

A popular year-round catch is Swordfish. You'll have to venture further offshore but it's well worth the journey! Kingfish, Amberjack, and Barracuda also keep things interesting and make for consistent catches.

Capt. Rod provides all of the gear you need for a successful day including rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. Feel free to bring along any drinks and snacks you'd like to enjoy and store them in the freezing cold cooler. Lastly don't forget your sun protection!

Strap in for an incredible day of diverse fishing in some of Florida's most productive waters with Big Game Sportfishing Charters!

Awesome Day Fishing
8 Hour Trip on March 14, 20263 adults
Chris and Ben did a great job keeping us on the fish. We caught the boat limit of black fin tuna, some red vermillion, trigger fish, golden tilefish, rose perch, and a few others as well. We definitely will hire Chris and Ben when we’re back in the area.
