You will fish aboard an 18’ Makee powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine. This craft is fitted with top of the line tackle and advanced fishing technology. On board you will find Shimano fishing gear at the ready. Capt. Sam can also provide fly fishing equipment and children’s fishing rods upon request. There’s room on board for three passengers and children of all ages are welcome.
Fishing in Markham Park gives you the chance to target Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass, Snook, and Tarpon. These fish are a sight to behold, some of them known for their excellent fighting power and others for their unique patterns. You can join Capt. Sam for a full day on the water or come aboard for a few hours whenever it suits you. Fishing at first light and sunset allow you to take advantage of the best bite.
Even when you don’t feel like casting lines, the waters of South Florida have a lot to offer. Come aboard for an eco tour and get up close with a variety of birds, alligators, and more. Capt. Sam provides water. He can provide beer upon request, or you are welcome to bring your own alcohol.
Your trip with Sam Can Fish includes fishing gear and water. Just be sure to bring a freshwater fishing license. Depending on the species, you are welcome to keep your catch.
You can also meet Capt. Sam at Blue Lagoon in Miami, Everglades Park or Lake Ida in Delray Beach, whatever works best for you! Come spend a day in South Florida fishing for a catch you won’t soon forget!

Terrific Father’s Day trip with Captain Sam!
Captain Sam knows the freshwater canals and waters very well and apparently many other saltwater spots beyond as well.. His boat is perfect for it and he’s great with kids as he has a lot of grand children. Sam was kind enough to take us on a short notice Father’s Day trip on Sunday afternoon and we caught a ton of fish in terrific scenery. I highly recommended him.

Sammy CAN fish!!
Wonderful full day with Sam! I had a friend in from Illinois and he LOVED it! Unfortunately, the fish we were hoping to catch was the peacock bass. We caught Oscar, large mouth bass and the yukky alligator gar. The scenery was amazing. We ended up going to the Everglades as Markham Park would have not had enough water for an entire day. We WILL tour with Sam again! Great conversation, lots of laughs and great “secret” fishing places!

Awesome day fishing with Sam!
We had the most wonderful day fishing with Sam! He is a class act and has an amazing boat that is controlled by a remote control. He backed the boat in the water and hit a button the motor spank into action and lowered itself into the water and kept the boat hovering in place while he parked the truck. Same maneuvered the boat to the dock and loaded us up. It was an impressive display and my family knew we were with an expert. We caught well over 30 fish on the 4-hour trip and at one point I had to take a break to give my arm a rest. Sam let my 11-year-old son AJ drive the boat and to the secret fishing hole and he had a blast. AJ caught a six-pound bass and is still talking about the trip to anyone who will listen. Sam is excellent with kids and was very nice, patient, and respectful to my family. Everyone including my wife caught fish and we had a blast! Sam is easy going and know his stuff. At one point maybe two I had a bad cast and got the lure stuck; Sam was super patient. He didn't get bugged he said no problem and maneuvered the boat over and got the lure unstuck. It was a pleasure fishing with Sam, love his attitude and his rig is top notch. When fishing with Sam armature hour is over, he is the best!
