Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, Sean’s expert guidance ensures your day is both productive and laid-back.
South Florida’s waterways are home to a unique mix of native and exotic species, and Everglades fishing offers up-close encounters with them all. Target hard-fighting Peacock Bass, aggressive Largemouth Bass, Tiger Oscars, Florida Gar, Bowfin, and colorful Cichlids. Depending on what’s biting, you might be using live bait like shiners or trying topwater lures for some explosive strikes.
Planning a family outing? These fishing trips in Fort Lauderdale FL are family-friendly and perfect for creating lasting memories with your kids. Life jackets for little anglers may be available—just check in advance. Be sure to pack your favorite snacks to keep everyone energized throughout the day.
Your adventure takes place aboard a 17-foot Tracker bass boat, ideal for navigating the shallows and backwaters of the Everglades. The boat accommodates up to two guests, creating a private and relaxed environment. All necessary gear is provided, including rods, reels, and bait, so you can focus on the fishing without extra prep.
Before you hit the water, remember to purchase a valid Florida freshwater fishing license. Your guide can help direct you to the best resource for getting one. These trips are catch-and-release only, promoting conservation in this vibrant ecosystem. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and your sense of adventure—cold drinks are provided, but you're welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic refreshments.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

Non-stop action at every spot Captain Sean brought us to! It was another fantastic fishing experience. This time, my youngest grandson joined—and he reeled in over 40 fish, including two impressive peacock bass. Sean keeps the trip fun and easygoing, making it a great time for all ages. I highly recommend booking with him if you're planning a fishing trip in the Everglades.

Captain Sean was incredibly easy to talk to and went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were comfortable and having a great time. He knows the Everglades inside and out, and it showed throughout the trip. We left with plenty of photos and even more memories—not to mention a solid catch to brag about back home. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Captain Sean knew exactly where to go—every spot delivered! My grandson and I caught over 40 fish, landing nine different species throughout the day. It was such a great experience that I’m already planning to rebook with my other grandkids soon. Can’t wait to get back out there!
