Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing - Broward County Fishing ChartersReviews
Posted on Google Christian WJune 19, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our deep sea fishing trip with Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing was absolutely incredible! Captain Will and 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.Posted on Google Will JJune 14, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My family would describe the experience as amazing, excellent and the best time well spent for first time deep sea fishing. All the equipment needed for the trip was provided. The guides were friendly and explained how to fish with detailed instructions and assisted you in fishing to make it easier and an enjoyable experience. My family caught Barracudas fish , Tuna fish , Dr Fish and many little fishes.

Dunia, thank you for fishing with us and for taking the time to leave such a great review! We had a blast fishing with your family and were happy to hear your 1-year-old enjoyed the trip as much as everyone else. The action was steady all morning with plenty of keeper fish coming over the rail, and that 7'2" Nurse Shark was definitely one of the highlights of the day—even if it didn't make it into the photos!

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. Will954-522-9399 Jesse PJune 1, 2026Verified Great crew and fishing trip We came out to Fort Lauderdale primarily to go on a fishing trip with the opportunity to catch some exciting fish and not have to travel too far offshore to do so. What a great experience. Captain Will and Mike were great as knowledgeable guides and fishermen, as well as being great guys. We did a mixture of trolling and bottom fishing and combined to catch around 20-25 fish including a 53" amber jack, an absolute tank of a barracuda, as well as a really nice king mackerel. We had plenty of bonito and some snapper to keep us busy too. It was nice to have an indoor area to go get out of the sun periodically and use the head as well. Overall, we had a great experience and would go out with this crew any time. Thanks guys for making our trip such a special one.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It was an absolute pleasure fishing with you and your family! We're so glad we could put together a productive day with a nice mix of trolling and bottom fishing, and that the amberjack, kingfish, barracuda, snapper, and plenty of bonito kept the rods bent throughout the trip.Mike and I truly appreciate the kind words. We work hard to create a fun, comfortable experience for our guests, whether they're seasoned anglers or just looking to enjoy a day on the water. We're happy you enjoyed the boat's amenities and that the short run offshore gave you more time fishing. We're certainly very lucky here in Fort Lauderdale to have deep water so close to shore!Thank you so much again for choosing us, and Mike and I certainly look forward to fishing with you again the next time you're in South Florida! 🎣🐟Tight lines,Capt.
