What would you recommend to anglers fishing in West Palm Beach, Florida for the first time?

Been on a lot of charters I really thought I knew what to ask and what I was doing But I was wrong I have added more to my list now of new question and thing to look up for the boat we will go on next time If this is your first time might not be a big deal to you But we fish a lot and want the best trip we can have

Absolutely. We had a fair amount of catches for the first 2 hours of our trip, but the last 2 hours were crazy. We had 6 mahi on the line at one time, while Sharks approaching to snatch them up. What a great trip.

Be sure to keep well hydrated during the month of August. Wear sunscreen and a hat to cover your head so you don't overheat. Clouds definitely help keep the temperatures down, but plan on being in the sun for extended periods of time. Ask your captain to fish in shady areas near mid day to help prevent heat exhaustion. Ladies should consider wearing clothing that may make it easier to use the restroom in the water or find some other means to use the restroom while on the boat.

The day we went out was after a full moon so the biting was a bit slow but the captain was knowledgeable about the reefs and types of fishing and we still managed to get a fair few bites. Reccomend calling and asking about conditions and if it’s a good time to go out.

This was.my first trip to west palm beach fishing, but I was not impressed with the numbers of fish being caught. Checked on several boats coming in and each had 2 or 3 fish. Most people said winter fishing is tough. I'm not planning on doing much ocean fishing in Jan or Feb any more.

Neither my friend nor I have put a line in the water for nearly a decade. Fllargemouth Charters had us geared up, bait on, and on fish within 10 minutes off the boat launch. Great instincts, and great experience.

It can go real well or be a grueling day on the wAter. Gotta pay to play and results will vary, go into it with the mindset that you might just be going on a nice boat ride, or you might catch a ton of fish

Due to bad memories of seasickness suffered on deep sea fishing trips I took when I was a kid, I chose Lake Clarke Shores and Captain Ricky for my daughter's first fishing trip. Couldn't be more pleased.

Find a captain that knows what’s biting and what’s been working (live bait, kite fishing, trolling)

Fishing with TJ was great! We caught several types of fish, and he was always polite and helpful. Highly recommend!

Wear a sun hat, shirt and long pants. Otherwise you’ll waste time with sunscreen that could be fishing time.

Traditionally a great place to fish… go for the overall experience, and if you do catch fish, then that would be the icing on the cake!!!

Book with fflargemouth he knows his stuff and gives it to you straight doesn’t set ridiculous standards or expectations but guaranteed to put you in the right spots

Make sure you get a captain who knows what they’re doing. They made it a phenomenal experience.

Despite not catching fish, Tara and Neil were a great crew and made our trip enjoyable.

Make sure you bring some Yuengling.. the fish won’t bite until you open the first beer

Book Captain Derek at Miss West Palm Beach charter fishing.. you'll have an awesome time

Very choppy. But that’s on Mother Nature. bring Dramamine. A couple guys (my boy) heaved. Nbd. That’s part of it.

Pick another service, and make sure before hand that the captain and boat had a plan to catch fish in the ocean, not the intercoastal.

You’re going to catch no matter what but if you want to choose your catch do your homework. Time is important to what you catch.

Even after taking Dramimine, my husband and I we a bit queasy at times. We will bring ginger chews next time. You never know what kind of water you will encounter!

Bulldog should always be first choice. The Captain and or staff are always accommodating in trying to make sure you catch fish ?. I am Always grateful I went on the Bulldog

Certainly, don’t book with this provider—and avoid last-minute options altogether. Our original trip was canceled, and we went with what was available, which turned out to be a huge mistake.

Captain Ricky was great! He made time for me when I didn’t have much time to fish. Put us on fish really quick. Great day

This is a good trip for a first time fisherman! We all participated in the catch and I was able to make some really beautiful food with what we caught.

The videos were good preparation and the Captain was very proactive about communicating before the trip.

There’s always something to catch off of Palm Beach. Go with the captain’s suggestions and enjoy yourself.

Wear a hat and a lightweight, long sleeve shirt. No amount of sunscreen will save you for 4 hours on the water. And bring plenty of water to drink.

Every trip is different, but it’s all how you make of it. It’s about the memories you will cherish for a lifetime!

Not many bites but we had one good one and it was fun. If you’re out there just to fish probably wouldn’t have been a very good trip.
