What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the first time?

This was a difficult trip because of the choppy Rocky Waters and also trying to find a place to fish was also very difficult Also trying to find the dock where the boat was The website was not accurate as to the location of the ball we had to call the captain to find out where to go because we ended up in the wrong area

Please, get it together with actual fishing with BAIT.. these guys think they can fool public with strips of fish (for kingfish) as real attempt to catch something else? Total BS.. these two think by giving stories about the hugh ships moored along canals as a sight seeing tour somhow equals fishing?.

Do a little research about anglers fishing so you know what to expect. Make sure you eat what you catch. I cooked some of what we caught today and it was delicious. The taste of freshly caught fish is very different than previously frozen fish.

Check the weather prior too. Pay attention to the moon cycle. Precheck the limitations and required sizes allowable to keep.

Cannot consider Lauderdale Sportfishing Reel Legend a fishing trip. They will fish for you, terrible experience overall.

If you want to do some serious fishing then I’d recommend an all day trip and talk to the captains before hand to find out when the best time of the year is.

Make this trip a priority. Bring lots of drinks, snacks, and dramamine just in case.

Check around and be sure to take plenty of drinks to stay hydrated and tip the crew

My family had a blast! Only a couple of fish caught but the experience was great!

Try out the shorter fishing trip first and progress to more experienced one if you wish

Find out what is migratory and what is biting during the time you are there. Target the bite.

Go to the charter company called Fishing Headquarters if you want big time deep sea fishing
