This morning was absolutely awesome, thanks to the experience, friendliness and hard work of Kenny and Joey. Even though fishing had been slow the past couple of days, they did what it took to get us onto the fish. We caught several Bonita, a nice-sized Kingfish and a huge Amberjack. Their stories of the surrounding area added to the experience, and we highly recommend “Marlin My Darlin” as the best choice for your deep sea fishing adventure!
All of us here @ Marlin My Marlin wish to thank you for this review of your fishing charter in Ft. Lauderdale with us. Your charter was a pleasure for your crewmen Kenny and Joey as well. Good company on both sides of the aisle, and good times. We like to have fun and share good memories too. Hope you didn’t take all those sea stories you mentioned too seriously. You know in fishing circles they say “the 1st liar never wins”. Those guys,LOL, Again thank for joining us here, we look forward to having you aboard in the future ( hopefully the near future). And thanks for sharing your photos here on this forum with other anglers. So very nice to fish with anglers who appreciate our efforts to bend the rods and have fun along the way. Rick

Great boat & crew! You fish within 3 miles of shore & see land the whole time. If these are the most important things when choosing your trip then this is the one for you. If you are avid fisherman and are used to high action & large fish then you need to reconsider. This is nothing to do w the crew but the area from what they explained. A normal good day to them in FTL is catching 3-5 fish. We are used to fishing Jupiter, the Keys & north FL so it was very slow to us. But still had a good day. Very personable & enjoyable Capt & mate.

Decided on a last minute trip from Cincinnati to Lauderdale for the sole purpose of catching a game fish. 1st stop catching some live bait, it was a lot of fun to watch my friends 8 yr old helping out and reeling them in. 2nd stop go to a wreck and watch my son reel in the fish we came for “Shark”, Mission accomplished. Then it was on to catch additional fish for dinner. Joey and Kenny made it all the more enjoyable with low key relaxed atmosphere that made us feel at home. Definitely recommending to family and friends that come down. Not to mention I will be booking again with Marlin my Darlin on my next trip down. Thanks guys for a great time!

Thank you John for the great review and for mentioning the atmosphere aboard for your charter with us here @ Marlin My Darlin. Always special for us as well when we get to be a part of making memories, and especially special when those memories involve kids. Kids and Sharks are like Peanut Butter and Jelly, a perfect match, any kind of jelly and any kind of Shark. Seeing that nice toothy Shark such as the Sandbar Shark at boat side on your charter probably has the little man now hooked for life, just like us. He’ll remember those bottom fish and how good they tasted, but the Shark on your charter will continue to be the most vivid memory. Take care and be safe. Looking forward to when you join us again. Happy Holidays to you and yours, Rick

The crew of the Marlin Me Darlin couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating. Got a call the morning of our trip warning us that the water was choppy and offered to book us the next day. We didn’t have wiggle room in our schedule, so we went at our scheduled time. They got us the bigger boat to try to counter the waves. Crew JJ was prompt at maintaining the lines. The fishing was poor, but captain Matt radioed the other ships to try to find where the fish were biting. A large cooler with ice was provided, and the fridge and freezer were available. Even though we didn’t catch any fish, it wasn’t for the crew trying. We’ll be back to try our luck and will book with Marlin Me Darlung again!

Thanks for joining us here aboard Marlin My Darlin. Thank you also for the positive comments and review about your time spent with us. We all (especially Matt and JJ) look forward to welcoming you aboard in the future for a rematch with those fish, and that we are a good match for you and yours. Rick
We had a great time out on the water with Captain Rick and first mate, Ken. They were very professional and had great personalities. They understood that not everyone is a professional and that we had people at different levels of experience. We purchased live bait from the marina and it was well worth it. Out of the six fish we acquired as live bait, all but one was used on the entire half day trip. One was eaten by a sailfish, but sadly the line snapped due to the fish being sporadic. The second was bit in half within seconds of being released, by a king mackerel (allegedly), the third was eaten by another king mackerel within seconds of being released and this time we landed it! The fourth fish was eaten by the largest fish of the day, a sailfish that was brought to the side of the boat but do to the safety of the fish, was not brought on board and was released. The fifth fish was eaten by a very sneaky shark when tracking down loose cargo. I highly recommend attending this charter, the knowledge of both fishing and their wildlife consciousness was very respectable.
