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!

March fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Shared (AM) on March 4, 20252 adults
We booked on fishing Booker with "big game" we live in fort Myers ,so we drove over and once we got there we were told we will not be fishing with the boat "big game" we will be fishing with another boat name! We ended up in a boat named "Buzz" I believe it was ! That's all besides the point it was overly choppy waves were outrageously big all over the place captain and first mate did their absolute best you can't predict the weather he can't predict the chop in the waves I appreciate everything they did unfortunately we had to leave due to my son getting seasick and the other parties son getting seasick also! P.s. My son did get to hook up,fight and get pictures with a Fat 55 inch "Golden amberjack"!!!

Captain Logan and First Mate Ben did an awesome job today trying to find fish! We eventually hooked into a 60” Amberjack which we fought from the chair. They did a great job landing, measuring and letting us get pictures of the fish. Anytime we’re in the Fort Lauderdale area we’re definitely booking again with Big Game Sportfishing Charters!
