Great area to fish. Good edible fish, pretty fish, big game fish all can be caught without going offshore many miles. More fishing and little drive time.

There are fish to be caught in April. I think there would be more to be caught in March but I would fish again whenever I went down there.

March isn’t the best time of year for fishing in Fort Lauderdale, but we still managed to get lucky!

Never go fishing and expect to catch alot. Sometimes you do, sometimes you dont. This time we didnt catch anything but we'd do it again because next time we might catch more than we can keep!

Check the weather prior too. Pay attention to the moon cycle. Precheck the limitations and required sizes allowable to keep.

Cannot consider Lauderdale Sportfishing Reel Legend a fishing trip. They will fish for you, terrible experience overall.

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.

Daniela Laurore
Only if you are able to cast your own lines and really catch the fish your self.

Wesly Centerwall
Not the best time of year for most fish, but you can still catch some nice fish.

Daniel Gowder
Peacock bass fishing is amazing. Very aggressive fish and awesome fighting fish.

Aria Dominguez
Check with the guide about the seasonal fish activitiy so you know what to expect.

Riggs Monfort
First time go for the half day. That’s what Taylor recommended and it was perfect.

Kelvin Luquias
Just a very hot day and not a ton of fish out. I’m sure other days are better though.

Betsy Riley
This was our first time deep sea fishing and Taylor Savage made it a great experience.

Eric Bay
Rely on captain’s recommendation they know daily the best option for a successful trip

Brandon Tetanich
If you want to catch fish the size of humans, just book it! You won’t regret the decision!

Ulyana Yevchik
Choose sport fishing to catch big fish. From experience, previous wasn’t as good as this trip

Craig Nilson
Buy the bait at the marina to save the time on the water going after the big fish.

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

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

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.

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

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

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