I would go somewhere else. Tons of boats in the water, these waters are fished very hard and might be overfished. We didn’t get a single fish in the boat in 4 hours on our first charter. The second one we had planned was cancelled by the Captain due to 4-6 foot waves, that is a calm day on the water where we come from. Two days of charter fishing planned and we are going home without seeing a fish in the boat.

Great charter to fish with, kids had a great time. Very happy with the size,type, and quantity of fish we caught!! Exactly what I was looking for. Captain was very knowledgeable and friendly had good conversations with him throughout the trip! Thanks

The waters are very rough, you can’t even stand up straight to fish. You get sea sick very quickly and have to come back. It’s not for young children, it’s not for adults older than 50, it’s not a pleasure experience, as soon as we entered the sea we had to hold onto a boat cause otherwise we would fall and hurt ourselves.

Ask the captain for the right clothing. I expected sunny, hot weather, but I forgot a rain jacket for the cold morning breeze. The captain prepares everything else.

It is chilly some morning so come prepared! Be aware of local parking laws before arriving in the dark to fish.

Weather was good for November but will probably do this again in the spring /summer when the ocean is a little calmer.

Go out and get your lines wet with Capt. Anthony. Great captain and knowledgeable fisherman and knows where to look for the fish. Highly recommended!

You will catch a few of the Bonitos which are a great fight but are inedible to most. Just be patient, something nice will come along soon.

Very hot heat wave in the south. Timing was not optimal for best odds for catching and the fish knew it.

Call Capt Ron of South Florida Boat Charter. We had such an amazing experience with them and will fish again.

I went for my Birthday which happens to be in August. In an ideal world, I wouldn't go fishing in August as it's very hot.

Conditions were difficult with 6 foot seas. Capt Mike did great but first time anglers might have difficulty

Water is rough in January, but if you are from the Midwest it is still a great time. We didn't know waters are better in the summer, but it's too hot for us in the Summer!

It's hot and rain showers are frequent. Sunscreen and liquids are a must. Go out early rather than later in the day

It was unseasonably cool (highs in low 70s) but fish were still out there. Just a bit of patience needed. Morning probably better than afternoon.

Love looking at the homes while on the boat. The fishing is great, and the home sightseeing was also fun.

I would recommend giving Benny at Benny’s book a mate charter. He will do anything he can to make sure you catch some fish

Check out the fishing fleet ahead of time to see what's being caught. Fish for what's biting now and you won't be disappointed.

Beginner or avid fisherman. Young or old. Family friendly. You don't have to go out far to catch great fish. Which gives you more time of actual fishing. Love this place!

Read the inshore fishing reports and decide if that’s what you want to target on your trip
