Charter Operator
All-Inclusive Sportfishing

Member since July 2014 Fort Lauderdale, United States
Background
My crewmen and I have extensive experience in fishing the Fort Lauderdale/Miami areas: two Bahamas Billfish Championships and numerous tournament wins in addition to our many years of local chartering. None of us enter into tournament fishing anymore and instead choose to spend our days furthering experienced and novice anglers experiences at deep sea fishing and smoothly introducing new anglers to deep sea fishing. Children are always welcome and we encourage you to bring yours along. Between us, we have a combined total of over 90 years guiding anglers in their pursuit of big game fish and also "action" charters tailored to meet each charters specific wishes. We love what we do, it is all we do, and our love for our job is easily seen with Trip Advisor and Google reviews as well as here at Fishing Booker, as all carry us with a 5-star rating.
Techniques
We offer all types of fishing approaches ranging from big bucket list fish to smaller ones for young children. Live baiting along the reef edges for Sailfish with kites a specialty. Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Tunas and Kings are primary trolling and live bait targets as well. We actively bottom fish for various species including grouper, snapper, Golden and Gray Tilefish and also assorted Jack species. The area being tropical and with warm water offers Sharks if you like of many sizes and numerous species throughout the year.
