I grew up on Long Island, NY, where I landed my first job at a marina—running the launch and fixing boats. That's where my love for the water and fishing really took off. Not long after, I started working on big, multi-million dollar sportfishing yachts, chasing Tuna, Marlin, Wahoo, Mahi, Swordfish, Sharks, and Tilefish out in the canyons off Long Island.
In my early 20s, I bought my own boat and named it Don't Tell Mom. That name stuck with me—so when I sold the boat, moved down to South Florida, and started running charters, I knew exactly what I was going to call my business.
These days, I do everything I can to make sure my clients feel safe, comfortable, and have the best day possible out on the water. Whether you're an experienced angler or stepping on a boat for the first time, I'll go the extra mile to provide a memorable trip for you and hopefully catch you something you'll never forget!

Sean BouchardPescador recorrente5.0VerificadoNOVOUm dia incrível no mar e um fim de semana com um fecho FANTÁSTICO.
Passeio de 3 quartos de dia de Pesca Desportiva em Alto Mar • 5 adultos • 1 criançaO meu filho de 12 anos e eu, como não podia deixar de ser, fretámos o Don't Tell Mom para um passeio de 6 horas. O Capt. Will e o Zach (o marinheiro) eram simpáticos, experientes, e era claramente evidente que se preocupavam em garantir uma boa pescaria. Ambos tiraram tempo para responder a perguntas e foram muito atenciosos. Tivemos a sorte de a pesca estar à altura da conversa. Trouxemos e guardámos 10 belos Dourados-do-mar de bom tamanho e um impressionante Cavala-da-Índia de 4 pés e meio (com um baixo de monofilamento). Claro que apanhámos muitos outros peixes no corrico, a maioria de menor dimensão, como Cavala-espanhola, Atum-de-barbatanas, Blue Runners, Sardini e Ínsuas (jacks verdes). O Capt. Will estava atento ao leme, dando sugestões ao Zach ao longo do dia sobre como ajustar a nossa disposição de corrico, mudando cores, iscas, profundidades, etc. Esteve sempre empenhado em aumentar a nossa captura até ao último momento. Um dia fantástico no mar e uma excelente pescaria para coroar. Recomendo definitivamente um dia com o Capt. Will e o Zach no Don't Tell Mom e fico já a aguardar a minha próxima saída com eles quando voltar a Fort Lauderdale. --Sean

Passeio de Meio Dia de Pesca Desportiva em Alto Mar - 13:00 • 5 adultos • 2 criançasTivemos uma tarde incrível a bordo do Don't Tell Your Mom com o capitão Will e o marinheiro Zach. Ambos foram simpáticos, experientes e trabalharam muito para garantir que todos a bordo se divertissem, fossem pescadores experientes ou estivessem a pescar pela primeira vez. A ação foi ininterrupta! Apanhámos uma barracuda, sardini, yellowtail e vários outros peixes. Chegámos mesmo a ferrar um veleiro, mas infelizmente ele largou o anzol após uma luta emocionante. O ponto alto do passeio, no entanto, foi conseguir trazer para bordo um impressionante tubarão-cinzento — uma experiência que nenhum de nós vai esquecer! O melhor de tudo foi que as mulheres e as crianças se divertiram imenso. O capitão Will e o Zach foram pacientes, encorajadores e tornaram o passeio divertido para todos. Se está à procura de uma ótima embarcação de pesca em família com uma tripulação experiente que sabe onde estão os peixes, não posso recomendar o Don't Tell Your Mom o suficiente. Com certeza voltaremos!

Ficamos especialmente contentes em saber que todos se divertiram tanto—desde os pescadores experientes até aos que pescaram pela primeira vez. É exatamente este tipo de passeio que nos esforçamos por proporcionar. Definitivamente tivemos uma tarde cheia de ação com uma grande variedade de peixes, e aquele Tubarão-crepuscular foi um para os livros de memórias! É sempre emocionante ferrar um Veleiro também, mesmo que este tenha conseguido soltar o anzol. Obrigado novamente por nos confiar o dia da sua família na água e por nos recomendar. Mal podemos esperar para pescar convosco outra vez! Linhas tensas, Capt. Will
William Bowers4.7Verificadoesforço valente
Passeio de Pesca Desportiva em Alto Mar Partilhado - 13:00 • 3 adultos • 1 criançaO Capitão Will e o seu excelente marinheiro Zach fizeram TUDO o que podiam para nos ajudar a trazer peixe para o barco. Infelizmente, os peixes tinham outros planos. É por isso que se chama pesca e não apanha. A tripulação foi ótima, muito simpática e experiente. Foram especialmente atenciosos com o meu filho de 4 anos, ajudando a criar uma memória especial. Os peixes foram poucos e pequenos, mas o meu filho não notou a diferença, pois o Zach e o Capitão Will fizeram-no sentir que cada um era um troféu. Ele já está a perguntar: "Pai, quando é que podemos pescar com o Capitão Will outra vez?!" Só pude responder com: "Da próxima vez que virmos a Miami/Ft Lauderdale." porque vamos definitivamente reservar com esta embarcação e tripulação novamente.

Resposta do CapitãoMuito obrigado, William! Agradecemos muito por ter dedicado o seu tempo a partilhar uma avaliação tão atenciosa. O Zach e eu adorámos pescar consigo e com a sua família, e foi especialmente fantástico ver o seu filho a divertir-se tanto na embarcação! Embora esperemos sempre trazer um peixe grande para bordo, criar memórias e envolver toda a família é o que realmente importa. Saber que o seu filho já está a perguntar "Quando posso pescar com o Capitão Will outra vez?" significa verdadeiramente tudo para nós. Adoraríamos tê-los de volta a bordo na próxima vez que estiverem em Fort Lauderdale ou Miami - ligue-nos a qualquer momento! Linhas tensas, Capt. Will
Kyle Adkison4.7VerificadoUm dia de pesca que eu e meu filho jamais vamos esquecer!
Passeio Partilhado de Pesca Desportiva em Alto Mar • 2 adultosPrimeira vez a pescar no oceano com o meu filho adolescente. O dia começou lento, mas o Will e o Mike mantiveram tudo interessante, respondendo a perguntas sobre pesca e partilhando informações sobre a área. Os peixes começaram a morder - estávamos com outros 2 grupos de 2 pessoas, e todos os grupos apanharam alguma coisa. O Will e o Mike são tipos super simpáticos; o Mike estava constantemente a trocar as linhas enquanto nos explicava o que estava a fazer. No final do passeio, o Mike fisgou um tubarão-limão de 2,3 metros que deu uma grande luta até chegar ao barco. Ficámos com fotos únicas na vida. Obrigado rapazes por um dia que nunca vamos esquecer.
Traduzido por IA:Resposta do CapitãoOlá Kyle, muito obrigado pela avaliação incrível! Foi um prazer tê-lo a bordo com o seu filho para a primeira viagem de pesca no oceano. Sabemos que essas primeiras experiências podem tornar-se memórias para toda a vida, e é uma honra termos feito parte disso. A pesca começou um pouco lenta, mas ficamos contentes por ter conseguido manter todos entretidos enquanto esperávamos que a mordida aumentasse. Foi ótimo ver todos os grupos apanhar peixe, e aquele enorme Tubarão-limão de 7 pés e meio no final foi definitivamente uma forma inesquecível de encerrar o passeio! Essas fotos vão ser difíceis de superar. Obrigado novamente por escolher pescar connosco. Esperamos recebê-lo a si e ao seu filho de volta para mais uma aventura em breve; ligue-nos a qualquer hora!

Wahoo, Mahi and Shark Action
set 26, 2026 • Fort Lauderdale
Weekly Fishing Report | Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing – South Florida
We had another action-packed week aboard the Don't Tell Mom, with some excellent fishing as we head into the full moon. The last several days have produced a great variety of fish, including Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Barracudas, Bonitas, Snapper, Amberjacks, King Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, and several species of Sharks.
Wahoo and Mahi-Mahi Steal the Show
The full moon is right around the corner, and as is often the case this time of year, the Wahoo bite has been heating up. We caught two really nice Wahoo this week, including one around 18 pounds and another impressive fish weighing approximately 30 pounds.
The 30-pound Wahoo came on a 6-hour morning trip with Sean and his son. We found a beautiful blue-water edge in roughly 400 feet and started trolling the area. After catching a few smaller fish, we put some larger baits deeper in the water on our big planers. It didn't take long before one of those baits was crushed by a big Wahoo.
The action didn't stop there. We also caught 10 Mahi-Mahi on that same trip, providing an incredible combination of quality fish and nonstop action. It was a great example of why having enough time to search for productive water can really pay off on longer trips.
Barracudas, Bonitas and Live Bait
Barracuda action has really started to heat up around the reef, with some very nice fish being caught both trolling and on live bait.
We're also beginning to see the first wave of smaller Bonitas showing up. As fall progresses, we typically start seeing larger schools of Bonitas, and these smaller fish make excellent live bait for bigger predators. They're not always easy to keep happy, but with the large live well aboard the Don't Tell Mom, we're able to keep them swimming and put them to work when the opportunity arises.
Once we had live bait in the water, we saw some exciting action from Barracudas, King Mackerel, Blackfin Tuna, and even some big Rainbow Runners. We also caught a nice Jack Crevalle, and the reef continues to hold plenty of life.
An Incredible Shark Battle
Shark fishing was another major highlight this week. We caught a big 8’ Nurse Shark along with a 98” Lemon Shark. The charter we caught the Nurse Shark on was an especially memorable trip because one of our young anglers got the opportunity to battle a big sea monster.
The fish picked up a bait after playing with it a few times and then took off on a powerful run. Our 11-year-old angler did an amazing job staying with the fish for over 30 minutes and eventually wore it out and brought it boatside with some help from his dad and coaching from my mate Zach. We were able to measure the Shark, take a few photos, tag it, and safely release it.
Watching a young angler successfully battle a big Shark is exactly the kind of moment that reminds us why we love charter fishing. These are the experiences families remember long after the trip is over.
Snapper and Wreck Fishing-
Bottom fishing has also remained productive. We've been catching Yellowtail Snapper along with some other good Snapper opportunities, and we have started seeing more Amberjacks around the wrecks.
As always, we're constantly watching the conditions and changing techniques when necessary. If the troll isn't producing, we'll switch gears and move to live bait, wreck fishing, or bottom fishing. Some of the most productive days this week came from mixing things up and staying flexible.
Fall Fishing Is Here
Conditions were fairly stable for most of the week, with generally nice mornings, light winds, and some cloud cover. We did have a few days with unusual current, including situations where the surface current and deeper current were moving in different directions, which made things a little more challenging.
Rain also played a role on some days. This time of year, we can get substantial afternoon storms, and when fresh rainwater sits on top of the saltwater, fishing can temporarily become more difficult. Fortunately, the water has been clearing up and the overall trend has remained positive.
Fall is one of our favorite times of year to fish. The days are getting shorter, water temperatures will gradually begin to cool, and bait movement starts to increase. We're already seeing more Flying Fish and Mullet around, and that migration should continue to bring more predators into the area.
Looking ahead, we're excited to see more Mahi-Mahi, increasing numbers of King Mackerel, and more Wahoo opportunities around the full moon. Sailfish should also begin showing up more consistently as we move farther into fall.
Whether you're looking for fresh fish for the dinner table, fast-paced action with Bonitas and Mahi-Mahi, or a chance to battle a trophy Wahoo or Shark, there are plenty of great opportunities right now.
Fall is one of my favorite times of year to fish, and we'd love to have you aboard the Don't Tell Mom.

98-inch Lemon Shark & Rising Kings
set 14, 2026 • Fort Lauderdale
Weekly Fishing Report | Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing
The past week and a half has produced some really exciting fishing aboard the Don't Tell Mom, but the biggest highlight by far was an incredible 98-inch Lemon Shark that put on one of the most memorable battles we've had in a long time.
We were wreck fishing with a large dead bait on the bottom when the big female Lemon Shark picked it up and took off. The fish immediately started peeling line and putting the tackle to the test. Our angler, Sean, was quickly in the fight, and he battled this massive Shark for roughly 40 minutes before finally getting it boatside.
The fish was an absolute giant. Lemon Sharks are powerful predators and can be incredibly impressive up close, and this large female was a fish we don't get to see very often. After getting some photos, we tagged the Shark and safely released her to continue swimming. It was a true trophy catch and an experience Sean won't soon forget.
King Mackerel Are Showing Up-
One of the other really encouraging developments over the past week or so has been the increased presence of King Mackerel. We've been seeing more fish around and, importantly, we've been catching them ourselves. The Kingfish bite has been noticeably better, and we're excited to see what happens as we continue into the fall.
There are also still opportunities for Blackfin Tuna, along with some Barracudas and other hard-fighting reef predators. Live bait has continued to be an excellent option when targeting bigger fish around the wrecks and structure.
We've also been catching some nice Amberjacks and more Barracudas on live bait, giving our anglers plenty of opportunities for a serious battle even when we're not specifically targeting Sharks.
Fall Fishing Is Starting to Take Shape-
Conditions have been fairly stable, with generally light winds and comfortable seas. We've had the usual South Florida afternoon showers and thunderstorms, but overall the weather has been very cooperative. Current has been relatively light recently, although we're beginning to see some of the stronger tidal movements that come with this time of year.
You can definitely feel the seasonal transition beginning. The days are getting shorter, temperatures are gradually becoming more comfortable, and bait movement is increasing. Flying Fish and Ballyhoo are around, and the Mullet Run is getting closer.
That bait migration is one of the things that makes September and October such exciting months to fish. As the bait moves, the predators follow, creating opportunities for King Mackerel, Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Sharks, and plenty of other species.
We expect the King Mackerel bite to continue improving, while Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo should become increasingly important as fall progresses. Blackfin Tuna should also become more consistent as water temperatures begin to drop.
A Great Time to Get on the Water-
September is typically one of our quieter months from a business standpoint, which means there is often more availability for anglers looking to get out on the water. We're taking advantage of that by spending plenty of time on the water and making the most of every opportunity.
Whether you're looking to catch fresh fish for the dinner table, battle a hard-fighting Amberjack or King Mackerel, or chase a true trophy like the 98-inch Lemon Shark we caught this week, there are plenty of exciting possibilities right now.
Fishing is never guaranteed, but we'll continue to use our experience, knowledge of the local waters, and whatever techniques are producing to give our guests the best opportunity possible.
The fall bite is just getting started, and there is a lot to look forward to.
Don't wait—come fishing with us!

Bonita Bite Heats Up; 4 Mahi Hooked
set 2, 2026 • Fort Lauderdale
Weekly Fishing Report | Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing
We had another excellent week of fishing aboard the Don't Tell Mom, with a great variety of fish showing up and some exciting action throughout the week. Conditions were generally very favorable, with mostly smooth seas, manageable winds, and good water movement. The current was stronger around the full moon before easing off over the last few days, which actually helped create some better opportunities for Shark fishing.
Bonita Action Is Heating Up-
The Bonita bite has really started to build, although we don't think the full fall run has arrived quite yet. We're seeing good numbers of fish from roughly 60–70 feet out to 200 feet, with some of the best action coming early in the morning.
Bonitas have been eating a variety of presentations, including spoons and Sea Witches pulled behind planers as well as surface baits. They're incredibly strong fighters and are a favorite with our guests because they provide plenty of action and great battles on lighter tackle.
This is also one of our favorite times of year to catch them. We use many of the Bonitas we catch to make fresh bait strips and freeze them for later in the season. Those strips become excellent bait for Wahoo, Sailfish, and other game fish, so we're always happy to see the Bonitas moving in.
Sailfish, Wahoo & Shark Action-
We also caught a beautiful Sailfish this week while trolling a Sea Witch with a Bonita strip. We had a bachelor party aboard when the Sailfish came into the spread, screaming line and making several long runs before we were able to bring it boatside for photos and safely release it.
Sailfish aren't something we typically expect to see in good numbers during the summer, so it's always exciting when one shows up in the spread.
We also caught a really nice Wahoo around 20 pounds. The full moon often brings Wahoo into the area, and this fish was a great example of why we always keep a Wahoo rod in the spread.
Shark fishing slowed around the full moon but improved as the current eased. We were able to catch a big Dusky Shark, which was safely released after an exciting battle.
Four Mahi-Mahi at Once!
One of the most exciting trips of the week came on Sunday with a family visiting from Pennsylvania. While trolling, we suddenly had four Mahi-Mahi hooked at the same time!
It was pure chaos.
All four fish were solid keepers, and with some quick work from the crew, we were able to get all four into the boat. Three were gaffed and one was flipped aboard. Multiple hookups like that are exactly why we love Mahi fishing—and why having an experienced crew makes such a difference when everything starts happening at once.
We've been seeing some Mahi closer to shore recently, particularly when conditions have kept the Sargassum farther offshore. Strong current can really turn the fish on, and when we find the right combination of clean water, current, and bait, the action can be fantastic.
Snapper Fishing-
Mutton Snapper and Yellowtail Snapper both provided some great opportunities this week. Mutton Snapper are known to become more active around the full moon as they gather to spawn, and we saw some good numbers of them around the reef.
We caught several Mutton Snapper this week, including some nice keepers, giving our guests looking for fresh fish for the dinner table another excellent option. Yellowtail Snapper has also remained a dependable target.
Looking Ahead-
We're beginning to see the first signs of the seasonal transition, with shorter days and bait movement becoming more noticeable. We've been seeing plenty of Ballyhoo and increasing numbers of Flying Fish around the reef, and the Mullet Run is just around the corner.
As the bait moves in, we expect to see more King Mackerel, Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, and other predators following them. October is typically one of our favorite months for Mahi-Mahi, and we're looking forward to the excellent fishing ahead.
The Bonita run should also continue to build. When it really gets going, the action can be incredible, with multiple hookups common and plenty of hard-fighting fish keeping anglers busy.
Come Fishing With Us-
Fall is typically a quieter time of year here as kids head back to school and the busy summer season winds down. That means we have more availability, making it a great time to get out on the water.
Whether you're looking for fast-paced Bonita action, Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Snapper, or a chance to battle a trophy Shark, we'll use our knowledge of the local waters and whatever techniques are working best to give you the best opportunity possible.
Fishing is never guaranteed, but we're going to work hard every trip to find the fish and make sure you have a great day on the water.
The fish are biting, the weather has been beautiful, and there's plenty of exciting fishing ahead!
Don't wait—book your trip today. We'd love to have you aboard the Don't Te

Bonita Bite Building; Sharks & Snapper A
ago 13, 2026 • Fort Lauderdale
Weekly Fishing Report | Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing – South Florida
The past week brought a great mix of fishing, with conditions changing throughout the week but plenty of opportunities to put some quality fish in the boat. We had several days when the fish were feeding aggressively, with lots of Bonitas and a few King Mackerel mixed in, while other days required a little more searching and changing up our approach.
The Bonita bite continues to build, and on the right days we've had some excellent action with multiple hookups and plenty of hard-fighting fish. A few more King Mackerel have also started showing up, which is an encouraging sign as we move toward fall. We've also seen schools of Jack Crevalle patrolling the reef, providing another exciting target for anglers looking for a strong fight.
Mahi-Mahi have remained scattered, with a few fish showing up when the current was stronger. We've also seen the occasional Wahoo and some nice Barracudas and Rainbow Runners mixed into the trolling action. The Blackfin Tuna bite has slowed considerably, but that's a fairly typical seasonal pattern as we move out of the heart of summer. We expect to see them make another push as conditions change later in the season.
We've also been catching plenty of Blue Runners while trolling, and these have been especially valuable as live bait. When we get a good supply of runners, we can put them to work on the deeper wrecks or slow troll them in areas where we're looking for bigger fish. This has produced some exciting opportunities for anglers looking to step up the size of their catch.
One of the biggest highlights of the week was a large Bull Shark that put our anglers through an incredible battle. While we had the shark boatside, we noticed a couple of Cobia hanging around the fish. We quickly pitched baits to them and were fortunate enough to hook and land the Cobia as well. Having a Bull Shark and Cobia around the boat at the same time made for a pretty exciting few minutes!
Shark fishing has slowed somewhat from the peak of summer, but we're still finding some quality fish, including another nice shark caught today. With trophy Sharks typically remaining active for several more months, there should continue to be plenty of opportunities for anglers looking for a serious fight.
Snapper fishing has remained one of the most dependable options. Yellowtail Snapper, Blackfin Snapper, and deeper-water Snapper have all been producing well. Fresh dead bait has been especially effective, and chumming has brought Snapper up behind the boat where we've been able to target them with both live and dead baits. For anglers looking to bring home fresh fish for dinner, the bottom fishing continues to be a great option.
Sargassum grass has been scattered throughout the fishing grounds, making trolling more challenging on some days, but we've also had periods where we found clean water and the fish were feeding very well. Strong north current has been a consistent feature recently, although it finally began to ease over the last couple of days. Light east winds have kept conditions relatively comfortable on most trips.
Looking ahead, we're still waiting for the Bonita run to really kick into high gear. We've seen some good numbers already, but the big schools and nonstop multiple-hookup action they're known for should hopefully arrive soon. We also expect to see more King Mackerel and Jack Crevalle around the reef, while Mahi-Mahi should continue to provide opportunities. Snapper fishing should remain strong, and the chance to battle a trophy Shark will continue through the coming months.
Late summer and early fall can be a fantastic time to fish South Florida. Whether you're looking for fresh Snapper and other fish for the dinner table, fast action with Bonitas and King Mackerel, or a chance to battle something big, we'll keep adapting to the conditions and doing everything we can to make your day on the water a memorable one.
Fall is also typically a quieter time here business-wise, so we have more availability than we do during the peak summer months. If you've been thinking about getting out on the water, now is a great time to book a trip.
