Captain
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.

We had a great experience with captain Shawn and Chris today! Unfortunately my husband got a little sea sick but the crew did everything possible to help him feel more comfortable including cold towels ginger tablets and drinks. I was lucky enough to hook two big fish that we had for dinner. Both men were experienced, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. The boat and equipment were great. Highly recommend! Thanks guys

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.

Captain Shawn and Chris took us on a fun filled trolling trip. When we were not getting lucky with fish, Chris realized that we had packed bananas. It was then we learned about the history/old wives tale about the unlucky tendencies Bananas bring. Once they were gone we did some deep sea fishing and managed to catch some rose black belly fish and a dolly. So leave the bananas at home, pick a sun block not created by banana boat, book the trip and have a great time. They also recommended... More

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!
