What anglers said about fishing in Florida Bay

Have patience and let the Captain and Crew do what they do to find the fish. The weather can be fickle in September so prepare yourself for the unpredictability of such.

I was told we got on the black tuna better than other trips lately so we were happy. Unable to locate any Mahi and will book in May or June as they migrate and aren’t many left down here right now. Near the tail end of the season for mahi. But the tuna was just down right fun.

Be open minded. Tides, wind, time of year and other conditions can effect how many fish you get. But Captain Hann will do everything possible to get you on best the fish possible.

The character and approach of the captain matters. Captain needs to listen to his customers and not choose what suits him better. I would highly recommend Jason even if we would have no fish on the boat but we did .

We really deferred to Pete’s expertise on where to go and when. He gave us a call on our first scheduled day and said the seas were going to be rough, and suggested that while he’d be happy to take us out, we might want to reschedule. Glad he did that as the day we went was perfect.

Book your trip early and watch the weather. August is a tricky time of year.

Wear protective clothing to avoid sunburn, i.e. long sleeve fishing shirt with hood, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat. Lip balm. Snacks are good to take along. If prone to motion sickness then take Bonine 1 hour before trip.

Fellow anglers, you really need to be prepared by wearing a hat, good UV blocking sunglasses, suntan lotion, bug spray, boat shoes, and perhaps a light weight long-sleeved fishing shirt with a hood. If you think anyone in your party might be susceptible to motion sickness then make sure you bring Bonine or Dramamine. Happy fishing.

We were well prepared by bringing a cooler with plenty of variety of snacks, we had perfect weather. Although hot, but that's what you expect at the end of July. My wife and Son took one dose of motion sickness med and were fine, just to ensure they would be fine. They were too busy catching fish to experience anything but adrenaline.

Be patient and help find the fish!! We looked for weed lines, structure, anything that holds fish. Stay alert because when you find them it gets wild pulling Mahi off a giant school of fish! I have fished here several times but this was my first Rodeo. Gotta have baits in the water to catch them. :-). Go get em.

Looking for mahi and tuna may take some time to track down, so if you also want to go after bottom fish like snapper/grouper, you may be pinched for time so maybe only try that for 3/4 or full day charters. Lots of sunscreen and water needed - it can get really hot - especially if the wind dies off.

The summer is busy along with winter season - book your fishing trips out by a couple months as you don’t want to not get on that water! And don’t forget about mini open lobster season in July as it will be very busy!

Be prepared for rolling waves and water. It can be choppy at times and it’s a long ride out for offshore to catch mahi

Only thing to keep in mind is that it is *hot* and boats have limited shade. Sunscreen, water, hats, sunglasses are a must.
