We spent Father’s Day with Reel Addiction Fishing Charter out of Pompano Beach, Florida, and had an incredible experience from start to finish. It was our first time ever fishing in the open ocean, and even though the water was a bit rough that day, Captain Eddie made sure we were safe, comfortable, and having a great time the entire trip.

His knowledge of the area really showed — he put us right on the fish! We caught two bonito, two barracuda, and a kingfish that we got to keep (he even filleted it for us on the boat!). One of the wildest moments was when my wife was fighting a bonito and a shark came up and bit it in half mid-fight — an insane and unforgettable experience!

The boat was clean, well-equipped, and handled the choppy water great. Captain Eddie was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. Whether you’re new to ocean fishing or experienced, I highly recommend Reel Addiction — we’ll definitely be back!

My 9 year old son and I had a great trip with Captain Eddie.  We only booked a 6 hour trip which I knew would limit how far we could go but thankfully the deep water is within 2 miles from shore. 
We were a bit early to the ramp but Eddie was alongside the dock and ready to go so the trip started a little earlier than the planned 7am.  We headed out of the inlet on a flat calm, busy day on the water with many other boats doing the same.  Captain Eddie was just setting his spread and had a fish pull the line out of his hands!  Fish on.  My 9 year old wound in a keeper Mahi Mahi within minutes of leaving the inlet. 
There was a lot of seaweed and boats to contend with but Eddie is an extremely hard working captain who worked the various depths while constantly making sure the spread was cleared of seaweed with perfectly presented lures.  He did all this while educating us about the methodology and processes of his fishing tactics.  Never a dull moment. 
We covered a fair bit of ground and picked away at the fish on what I gather was a mediocre day.  We fish regularly and know that there is never a guarantee of catching fish but on this 6 hour trip we managed 2 keeper mahi, 2 keeper king mackerel, released a large barracuda, happily pulled the hook on another barracuda right near the boat, released a small Almaco jack and had something hit the port rigger so hard it broke the line.  We went home with a big bag of filleted fish and some great memories.  I cannot stress enough how hard Eddie worked to make something happen out there today.  We will absolutely be back to fish with Eddie again and I 100% recommend him for anyone looking for a productive and educational fishing experience.

Eddie has went above and beyond to make my son’s fishing experience a life time memory. His very clear on instructions as it was my 13 year old first time fishing in the sea. We have caught a Wahoo and a Tuna and could not have been done without Eddie. Very professional and passionate at what he does. Our fishing experience could not have been any better.

My son and his friends had an exceptional experience on the water. We successfully caught Kingfish, Bonito, and Wahoo, making it a truly memorable outing. Captain Eddie demonstrated outstanding knowledge of the area and expertly guided the trip from start to finish. We look forward to our next charter with Reel Addiction and highly recommend this vessel and captain to anyone seeking a top-tier fishing experience.
He also filet our catch for us at the end.  🙌👍

Captain Eddie showed us a fantastic time at sea!  Starting with a call the day before telling us what to expect, we found him to be both caring and informative.  The day was pretty bumpy but he kept things as smooth as possible.  We came home with Kingfish and Mahi Mahi (all nicely fileted).  He taught us so much including ways for the kids to improve their fishing when back on land.  We loved our day with Captain Eddie!
