I'm happy to report that the African Pompano have been biting like crazy lately! Our Boca Raton fishing charter have been reeling in some impressive catches, with the Pompano weighing in at an average of 20 pounds. We've had the most luck fishing near the reefs, using live bait and jigs. The weather has been beautiful, with clear blue skies and calm seas, making for a great day out on the water. Overall, it's been an exciting time for Boca Raton inshore fishing charters and I can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds!
Nick , thank you so much for booking a charter with us I had a great time fishing with you both, have a safe trip back home, hope to see you again soon the next time your in Boca Raton!

Don't miss out on a voyage with Capt. Mike if you're seeking for a fun, entertaining, and all-around intriguing experience. We experienced a little bit of everything: beautiful weather and a rather hot sea condition. The large fish were not cooperative with the bite, but we got a few of fish and almost missed a monster shark. I strongly suggest it.

My father and I had a fantastic trip. We didn't have a lot of luck with the fish, but we made up for it with fantastic weather, a huge boat, and the greatest fishing equipment. Captain Mike and crew, thank you for a great trip.

We were able to enjoy a fantastic day of fishing, catching Kingfish, and even a Mahi (including my PB), along with the fantastic captain Mike! He was very kind, helpful, and friendly, and is definitely recommended if you're new to fishing or experienced.

Mike is a wonderful guide. We tried various maneuvers and lures and caught some nice fish out of Boca and Deerfield Beach. My son and I had a great time. I highly recommend Chophish for your trip.
