Don't Tell Mom Sportfishing - Broward County Fishing ChartersReviews
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I headed out with the crew from Don't Tell Your Mom Sportfishing last Friday, and it was an absolute blast. If you are looking for a solid day on the water, these guys really deliver. The crew was definitely the highlight—total professionals who were not only knowledgeable about the local spots but also just great to hang out with. They made sure everyone was comfortable, handled the gear perfectly, and kept the energy high throughout the trip. It was a top-tier experience from start to finish. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and productive fishing charter!

It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to see you back out there again soon.Tight lines,Capt. Will954-522-9399Verified Best fishing experience of my life! Book NOW! I have been on half a dozen fishing charters in the past decade and this has been my favorite by far. Will and the crew provided the ultimate charter experience and made it memorable for me and my sons. The fishing was excellent, and they worked extremely fast to get our lines back in the water once a fish was caught. We absolutely will be booking "Don't Tell Mom" the next time we are in Fort Lauderdale!

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! :)

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.
