    Great Day Fishing off Fort Lauderdale

    4 Hour Trip – Private - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    Great day out !! Captain Vinnie knows where to go to get fish and first mate John knew how to teach us to catch them - he was superb all trip. My wife and i were in town for the World Cup and decided to charter a boat for a new experience and are glad we went with Y B Normal. Whilst we have done a little fishing before back in Scotland, this was different and great fun - black fin tuna, barracuda, mahi mahi and a wahoo kept us busy. Charter only but well worth the cost. Easy to find at Dania Beach Marina.

    Reported Catch
    Great Barracuda
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Wahoo
    Blackfin Tuna

    Choppy waters but still a great trip and crew!

    4 Hour Trip – Private • 4 adults

    Booked the trip several months ago and communication with Captain Vinnie was super easy. The waters were on the choppy side, but he had given us adequate notice of this the night before so everyone in our party took some dramamine prior to the trip and had no problems. Captain Vinnie did a great job finding the fish and his mate JT was awesome helping us! We caught mostly blackfin tuna but in the last 30 minutes we got a wahoo and a mahi mahi! He fileted those for us and gave us a restaurant recommendation where we took our fresh catch. We had them prepared 3 ways... fried, blackened, and sashimi style. All were delicious! We would definitely do this trip again and recommend Vinnie and JT to anyone!

    Response from Captain

    Ron, thank you for coming out fishing with us. Im glad to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the trip. Im also glad to hear that you enjoyed the fresh fish that you caught as well. Thanks again Capt. Vinnie

    Great fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip – Private • 3 adults

    We had an absolutely amazing fishing experience on our 4-hour morning trip, especially considering that this isn’t even the best season for fishing — and we still managed to land two Sailfish! I went with my two kids, and the entire trip was perfect from start to finish. The captain and deckhand were outstanding — extremely professional, friendly, and great with the kids. They worked nonstop to make sure we had a fun, exciting, and successful day on the water. I can’t recommend this company enough. If you’re looking for a professional crew, great vibes, and a truly memorable family fishing trip, this is the one to book. We will definitely be coming back!

    Reported Catch
    Sailfish
    Response from Captain

    Gary, thank you for coming out fishing with us. it was tough fishing but sometimes you need a little luck, and your trip was the true definition of its not over till its over, congrats on catching 2 sailfish. hope to do it again! thanks! Capt. Vinnie

    Wonderful fishing experience!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 3 children

    My son and I met up with my high school friend with his 2 sons and his dad. We all had an amazing time. Captain treated us to some Kite fishing as the water was extremely rough. Even with the rough seas he put us onto some sail fish and feisty barracudas. Our goal was to get a mahi for dinner and guess what, a solid one as big as the cooler hit the lines. We left this trip fully satisfied and will certainly book this again with hopefully better water condition. I would love to jig for snapper next time! Do not pass up this experience!

    Reported Catch
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Great Barracuda
    Sailfish

    Hammered a big pile of Snapper!

    4 Hour Trip – Private • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captian Vinnie and his first mate JT were awesome! Trolling was a little tough due to the sea weed, but the guys worked hard to us some snapper. We stayed ontop of a huge school and caught 15+! I went with my two boys (8 and 10). It was their first deep sea trip and it was a memorable one. I can’t thank the crew enough. I would highly recommend YB Normal!

    Response from Captain

    Jonathan, thank you for coming out fishing with us. Im glad that your kids enjoyed the trip that is what its all about. I hope you enjoy the fresh fish and looking forward to the next trip with you and your family. thanks again! Capt. Vinnie
