    Best Charter in Lauderdale

    We've been on several charters over the years and this is by far the best experience. Great conversation with a captain. the first mate was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were here with our young son and the first mate made him part of the crew basically. Highly recommend booking this charter.

About Handline fishing

Handline is the purest way to fish. You work the line by hand, feeling every nibble and run in real time.

This technique can catch a wide range of species. Anglers often target reef favorites like Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack, as well as fast pelagics such as Mackerel, Tuna, and Wahoo.

You fish with a single line, hook, bait or a small jig, and a weight or float. There is no rod or reel, so you control depth, movement, and pressure with your hands.

The experience is simple, close, and exciting. It suits beginners and families on calm reefs, and challenges experienced anglers who want a direct fight. Bring good grip gloves and be ready to manage loose line. A short leader helps with abrasion, and a wire leader can help with toothy fish.

Before you go, check local rules. Make sure you have the right fishing license or permit, and review seasons, size limits, and harvest regulations for the species you plan to target.
