Shawn Safris

Member since February 2017 Pompano Beach, United States

Background: Captain Shawn Safris has over 20 years of fishing experience. He has been passionate about fish since childhood. He enjoys being on the water and seeing the smile on a kid's face after reeling in a fish. Shawn is never in a hurry to get off the boat, always keen on spending a few extra hours trolling for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo or Tuna.
Techniques: I like to stay until dinner is in the boat. Never in a hurry to get off the water. Mostly like to troll for dolphin, wahoo or tuna.. but if the bite is slow we can always drift some wrecks and reefs for some dinner

Get Ready!!!!

Dec 13, 2023 Pompano Beach

Strong East winds have kept fishing in the ocean a little tricky.. intercostal fishing has been pretty good. Big Jacks, Baracudas and Tarpon have kept anglers busy. I have a feeling once this wind settles down there will be plenty of bait pushed in shallow making fishing really good. Book that trip lets get um???

Now that the wind has settled down, it seems to have blown in a lot of bigger, dolphin. There also has been a lot of Sailfish caught and there's a bunch of little bonitas on the reef which has made the big Wahoos show up as well.

3/4 Day Trip

Had an amazing time with Captain Shawn and Barry!! My son(9) and I had the rime of our life. Booked some sailfish, caught a bunch of tuna and really enjoyed ourselves!! The boat is comfortable and perfectly equipped! All the equipment was in perfect working order! The captain spoke to each other and did their part to make sure we had a shot at a trip of the lifetime! Highly recommend the 6 hour trip as 4 would have left us wishing for more.

Fish just weren’t bitting today. We caught 2 sailfish 1 dolphin and a shark. Even though the bite was slow we stilllanded fish and had a great time. Will be doing another trip next year with Gradyful fishing charters.

You can’t win’em all! We had a great boat, crew and captain! But waiting for the fish to bit for hours, can’t be blamed on the crew!
