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.

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

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

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

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

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.
