  Afternoon trip that caught fish early

  6 Hour Trip – Deep Sea - 12:00 PM on July 3, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  we had a fish on right away the broke an extremely heavy duty hook and got off. we then caught a small tuna and a bigger barracuda. all within a 12-1:30 pm time frame. the next 4 hours Doug fought weeds constantly trying to find clearings. A few possible bites but a lot if weeds. even though the fishing wasnt great it was still fun.

  Best Charter Experience Yet!

  Half Day fishing – Deep Sea (PM) on July 4, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

  We booked this fishing charter 6 months ago because our kids love to fish and we knew we’d be in Florida. This fishing trip did not disappoint! Captain Doug Perez hustled - and I mean hustled - to make sure we did everything possible to hook some fish. We have small kids, 10 and 6, but Captain Doug made it so easy for them to reel in some big fish. We know there are no guarantees when it comes to fishing, so while we don’t catch dozens of fish, we did catch ones that our kids were most excited about - blackfin tuna, mahi mahi, kingfish, Bonita, and a barracuda. This was a huge success. Fishing can be daunting if you’re impatient, but I highly recommend American Made Charters to anyone in the area - he knows where the fish are! I would 100% book a charter with Captain Doug if we’re ever in Fort Lauderdale again. He was so friendly, made it easy for our kids to reel the fish in themselves and just really loves fishing - which was awesome because my kids always ask a million questions. Thanks for the best fishing experience - the kids haven’t stopped talking about it!!!!!
