Capt. Taco’s Hooked Up Sportfishing is your key to the best angling in South Florida. Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale and feel the connection with the waters. Fishing with Capt. Taco is a unique experience everyone should have!

Deep drop for what is around the wrecks, including Amberjack, Grouper, Cobia, and Mutton Snapper. Try kite fishing for Sailfish and get a bonus of Shark, Kingfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and many more.

If you are a big fan of Sharks, target these pelagic monsters in about 350 ft of water. Go for fast Mako Shark, Thresher Sharks that look like aliens, beautiful Hammerheads, Tiger Shark, Bull Shark, Blacktip… and the list just goes on!

One of the best things about the beautiful waters of Fort Lauderdale is that you don’t have to travel too far out to enjoy rod-bending action! Capt. Taco will take you trolling the reef for Kingfish and Bonito or offshore for something bigger. Cast with spinner rods for schools of Mahi Mahi, target Wahoo, Tuna, and occasional Blue Marlin.

Or get the most out of your South Florida trip and get your hands on Swordfish. Head up to 20 miles out, rig bait, and get ready for an adrenaline rush.

Capt. Taco will take you out aboard the ‘Hooked Up.’ With 41’ of excellence, she comes powered by two 450 HP Avico engines. Inside and outside, six anglers will find ample of space and can have a seat wherever they like.

Once the Hooked Up sets out, a reliable set of navigational electronics will guide you, homing in on the hottest grounds. You will be using International reels ranging from 20 to 80 lb and custom rods, built by Capt. Taco.

The action will take place outside the cockpit. There are 4 fighting chairs for those who are up to a challenge. All aboard!

The trips aboard the Hooked Up are all-inclusive. You only need to bring your own food and drinks.

Capt. Taco’s Hooked Up Sportfishing

capt-tacos-hooked-up-sportfishing

We are able to run these shorter trolling trips due to the fact that we have very little travel time. Most of our reef trolling is done right outside our 3rd reef witch is less than 2 miles from the beach and the water depth we will be trolling is between 80 to 400 feet of water.

Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM

Half Day Trip

5 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM

The 6 hours trips give us that little extra time to try 2 or 3 different types of fishing. We can start out trolling the reef and after everyone has caught some reef fish, we got plenty of time to switch over to kite fishing for Sailfish or go up to 20 miles offshore looking for those tasty Mahi Mahi and maybe even have time for a couple deep drops for Groupers or some great eating Snappers. Head up to 20 miles offshore for Mahi Mahi, deep drop for Snapper and Grouper.

3/4 Day Trip - 7:00 AM

3/4 Day Trip

These trips are more for the fisherman looking for ether catching that trophy fish of a lifetime of for the guy or gal looking to load up on some good eating fish. 8 hours give us the time to go after a bunch of different fish while switching from trolling to kite fish to deep drop or maybe just occasionally going a little further offshore looking for a Blue Marlin of a box full of Mahi Mahi.

Full Day Trip

These trips are for the experienced angler looking for that battle of a lifetime with monster Swordfish. We do NOT recommend these trip to first times! These trips are for those who are used to fishing way offshore and that KNOW FISHING! (WE ARE HEROS OR ZEROS). We want to catch these sea monsters more than anyone but this is fishing! While we are very good at what we do and we're fishing in our backyard it is still FISHING so we don't always catch Swordfish on every trip.

10 Hour Trip - Daytime Swordfish

This trip will take you up to 20 miles out for monster Swordfish. If you are an experienced angler, look no further. Once you get to the ground, you will rig bonito or squid, and it's fish on! Expect to troll for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Blue Marlin, and Tuna on your way out. 

The departure time will depend on the season and can be from 5:30 to 6:00 pm. You will leave the dock 2-3 hours before the sunset.
