Fort Lauderdale offers some of South Florida's most consistent fishing opportunities. Our charters target the shallow flats for sight fishing and the deeper reefs for bottom species. The Intracoastal Waterway provides protected fishing when ocean conditions are rough. Captain Luis specializes in reading water conditions and adjusting techniques throughout the day to maximize your success.
Each trip includes personalized instruction on local techniques, from live bait fishing to artificial lure presentations. We provide all rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Cooler with ice included for your catch and refreshments. Family-friendly trips welcome with patient instruction for young anglers.
Fort Lauderdale's fishing benefits from the Gulf Stream's proximity and diverse habitat structure. The best fishing typically occurs during moving tides, especially the two hours before and after tide changes. Morning trips often produce the most consistent action, though afternoon charters can be excellent during cooler months. Water temperatures remain fishable year-round, with peak activity during spring and fall transitions.
Wind direction significantly impacts fishing success in these waters. Northeast winds create choppy conditions on the ocean side but calm the Intracoastal. Southwest winds do the opposite. Captain Luis monitors weather patterns closely and adjusts fishing locations accordingly. Our local knowledge includes backup spots for any weather condition.
Meet at the designated marina with sunscreen, hat, and polarized sunglasses. We provide all fishing equipment, tackle, and bait.

Most charters run 4-6 hours depending on your preference and fishing conditions. Captain Luis will clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip.
