What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the first time?

If you want to do some serious fishing then I’d recommend an all day trip and talk to the captains before hand to find out when the best time of the year is.

Fort Lauderdale in February is not the best time of year but there definitely fish out there.

Check the weather forecast before you go, make sure it’s not going to choppy.

Started off a little chilly but warmed Up quickly out on the ocean and was perfect day

We did lots of research and I would highly recommend booking with these guys. It’s 100% worth it.

Sometimes you catch fish, sometimes you don’t. Try to enjoy the trip either way.

Yes - Captain Zach is a true professional who knows Fort Lauderdale Fishing unbelivably well

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Bring rain gear and something warm. You might get wet.

Watch the weather and pick a guide the meets your realtor expectations. Have fun.

May seems to be a slow season, however, we still caught lots of fish and had a great time.

If you get sea sick ??? make sure you take motion pills WELL BEFORE you go aboard

We only went this time, so cannot adequately judge, but would hope the fishing is better

Being from the north, I truly needed to get some Florida guidance. Go out with a guide.

No need to go to the keys there’s plenty of fish Without going miles and miles offshore

There's a chance you might even catch a 10 foot 400 pound golden dusky shark like I did!

Dress in layers if you are going on the a.m. trip and be prepared to catch a lot of fish!

Call captain JP he goes above and beyond to make it a great experience for everyone on the boat

Make this trip a priority. Bring lots of drinks, snacks, and dramamine just in case.

Check around and be sure to take plenty of drinks to stay hydrated and tip the crew

My family had a blast! Only a couple of fish caught but the experience was great!

Try out the shorter fishing trip first and progress to more experienced one if you wish

Find out what is migratory and what is biting during the time you are there. Target the bite.

Go to the charter company called Fishing Headquarters if you want big time deep sea fishing
