Take the full day of fishing. It is tiring, but gives you a much better chance of catching some nice fish.
Brian McEvoy
The variety of species, structure and methods of fishing in one easy to get to fishery makes you Florida anglers very spoiled!
William Brown
Highly recommend. Easy trip. Be sure to clarify catch and release or if you want to take fish home. Also clarify cleaning the fish if you want to keep some.
James McKenney
Dress appropriately, bring sunscreen, eat a large meal before fishing, and consider bringing a small cooler for your drinks.
Shaun Miller
Many of the target species are highly migratory depending on the time of the year. Catches can vary wildly day to day or even between morning and afternoon trips.
Jack Smith
Be optimistic. There are so many different kinds of species in these waters. So be patient with your crew and trust their knowledge. They fish these waters every day.
Jason Morse
Just go experience it. Beautiful houses, awesome yachts,very pretty and only a short cruise to the fishing grounds, always in sight of land.

Flamingo fishing was more than perfect for our first time fishing in the ocean. Crew was more than happy to help and everyone on the boat was catching fish!
Tallen Wikman
Fishing is slow overall in February on the ocean. Did alot better than I expected. 5 stars for the trip still
Donald Destefanis
Kind of a slow day but as the captain explained it’s the offseason so fishing can be on and off in February.
Christopher Theodorellis
Be flexible, weather might keep you from heading offshore so don’t overlook the fun gamefish that can be caught inshore.

Book with captain mike from Florida adventure outfitters if you want a real captain with your best interests in mind. Honest and knowledgeable.
Buck Stanford
Highly recommend the morning charters vs. afternoon. While it was not until late morning, we landed most of our catches, the morning water was great.

Get a small boat captain and be sure to have them recommend a place to have the fresh catch cooked up! Great trip!
Samantha Isard
Bring drinks and snacks for on the boat. In July be prepared for rain storms. Let your captain know what species you want to target.

Where fishing clothes, it is hot and humid!!! Don’t forget your sun tan cream. Most captains don’t like the spray kind

Hire a captain. And then let him do his job. Wally and John made the trip pleasant on the very rough conditions. But you get what you get when you fish in Florida in March

If you're going with kids bring drinks and snacks. Hats, sunscreen, and a positive attitude with those around you go a long way.
Bobby Pisano

Speak to your guide about how the fishing is going at that particular time of the year. Some months are better than others
Edward Dowgin
Hockessin, DE
Use this charter. Hands down, well worth the price. If you’re serious about fishing, look no further.

Crew members said that this time is off season. If that is true, I would NOT recommend waste your money on boat fishing in February.

Excellent trip..the viewing going in and out of the harbor are unbelievable seeing the expensive yachts and mansions.
