Wonderful morning fishing

Captain Mitch and Mate Mike were WONDERFUL! We caught many black fin tuna and some Bonitas! Boat was clean with a bathroom and the ocean was delightful. Will from the booking office was very helpful and lovely to work with. Thank you all for fun memories of fishing in Fort Lauderdale!

Operator response

It's always exciting when the Blackfin Tuna are biting, and we're glad you were able to bring in several along with some Bonitas. We truly appreciate your kind words about our boat and our booking process as well. Thank you for choosing Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing, and we hope to welcome you back the next time you're in Fort Lauderdale! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399 🎣

Absolutely incredible first experience deep sea fishing with Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing

Our deep sea fishing trip with Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing was absolutely incredible! Captain Will and First Mate Zach provided a top-notch experience from start to finish. As first-time deep sea fishermen, we couldn't have asked for better guides. They were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire trip both fun and memorable. The fishing exceeded all of our expectations. We landed an impressive variety of fish, including mackerel, barracuda, a mahi-mahi, bonito, blackfin tuna, blue runners, and plenty of yellowtail snapper. In total, we brought in 18 fish, not including the many others we caught and released throughout the day. The excitement of reeling in so many different species, combined with the expertise and great personalities of Captain Will and Zach, made this an unforgettable adventure. If you're looking for an outstanding deep sea fishing experience, I highly recommend Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing.

Operator response

Thank you so much, Christian! Zach and I had a great time fishing with you and your crew. It was awesome watching first-time deep-sea fishermen jump right into the action and put together such an incredible catch. Landing 18 fish and checking off so many different species in a single trip is something you'll remember for a long time. I truly appreciate the kind words about Zach and our operation. Our goal is always to make the trip fun, educational, and productive, whether it's your first time offshore or your hundredth. Thanks so much for choosing Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing; I look forward to having you back aboard the next time you're in Fort Lauderdale! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399

Great experience! Highly recommend

Captain Will and First Mate Mike make a great team and assured that we had a good experience. On the way out, we learned about the mega mansions that we passed on the intracoastal waterway. We caught Bonita, lizard fish, Mahi Mahi and black fin tuna, at least a dozen fish in first 2 hours. Great communication and highly recommend this small group charter over a boat with dozens of anglers on board. This is a great small business and they enjoy their work. Good Luck, Will and Mike!

Operator response

Thanks so much, Sharon! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Mike and I had a great time with you guys—awesome to see that kind of action early and get into a nice mix of fish. Glad you enjoyed the ride out and the sightseeing along the Intracoastal too. We’re big believers that small groups make for a better overall experience, so that means a lot to hear. Thanks again for fishing with us, and we hope to have you back out next time you’re in town; call us anytime! Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399

Best birthday ever!

Thank you to Captain Will and also to Zack and Mike! We booked the 4 hour shared trip at 8 am for my birthday and it was so much fun! Everyone was so knowledgeable, kind, and funny. I ended up catching a rainbow runner, a mahi mahi, a lizardfish, and a bar jack. The other people with us also caught some nice, bigger fish! We all had so much fun and great time! I hope to plan on booking again. They filleted the fish for us that we were able to keep and will eat it tonight for dinner! I highly recommend this fishing guide if you plan on going on one near Fort Lauderdale!! Thanks so much again for giving me the best birthday ever! :)

Operator response

Thanks so much for the great review and for spending your birthday with us! It was a pleasure having you out on the water with Zack, Mike, and myself. You put together a really fun mix of fish with the rainbow runner, mahi-mahi, lizardfish, and bar jack—definitely a solid birthday catch! We’re glad you had such a great time and that you were able to take some fish home for dinner. That’s always the best way to end a fishing day. Thanks again for the kind words and recommendation. Next time you’re back in Fort Lauderdale, give us a call and come fish with us again! 🎣 Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399

Phenomenal fishing experience!

Captain Will and Mitch were amazing guides! We had so much fun during our trip and they helped us reel in a 39 inch barracuda along with a handful of other nice fish! They did such a fantastic job explaining everything to us from the actual fishing to the fish themselves. Captain Will took us a several different spots to try and make sure we came away with as many fish as we could. Overall an awesome day on the water and having Captain Will and Mitch guide us was even better.

Operator response

Luisa, Thank you so much for the awesome review! We had a blast fishing with you both. That 39-inch barracuda was a great catch, and you guys did an amazing job reeling it in! I’m glad you enjoyed moving around and trying different spots — we always want to give our guests every opportunity to make it happen. Mitch and I really appreciate the kind words. Come back and see us anytime… we’ll be ready to top that 39” cuda! 🎣 Tight lines, Capt. Will 954-522-9399
