What To Expect
On this trip, we head out to the reef to do some bottom fishing for snapper, grouper and other reef species. It gets deep quickly here, so we'll be fishing just a mile offshore of the beautiful Fort Lauderdale coastline. Our experienced and fun mates help with baiting and rigging to help you come home with a catch. At the end of the trip, the mates offer free fish cleaning, so if you catch good eating fish, you can take your fish home or to one of our local restaurants to get them cooked up. Every day is different and you never know what may be biting out there. Good luck and have fun!

5.00It was so much fun. The captain got us positioned over fish and the crew did everything to make us successful. They even brought different fish that others caught around so all could see how beautiful they were. The coolest was a rabbit pufferfish! I caught 3 fish and then after they cleaned them up and recommended a restaurant to go to have them cooked. They tasted amazing! 10/10 recommend. Only advice is to bring an old rag or some wet wipes with you if you don't want your hands smelling like squid all day as that is what they had us use for bait.
The fish story goes like this…40” COBIA

5.00We went night fishing for four hours. The cruise put us on three different fishing spots for the evening. 2 locations showed more fish than the last. I was able to land a 40” Cobia fish. A rarity but exciting. My son and I together caught over 9 fish. It was a good time
Awesome time, but a little more help would be nice!

4.00Not much help teaching people what to do. There is only about 3 or 4 deckhands helping 60+ people. We are experienced, so no issue with us, but saw others struggling and was hard to find help when you needed it.

5.00Best crew ever, Capt Will, and Mike and Mikey!! First time and I would do it everytime I visit if I would have this crew. The experience was completely unreal and so much fun!!! The crew was top-notch and would recommend requesting them. They went out of their way to make it fun and successful. Shoutout to the crew of Capt, Will, Mike and Mikey.

5.00This was my second time on Catch My Drift and each time it was a blast!!! Have done both the evening and morning trips and caught way more fish on the morning trip!!! We actually brought it back to our AirBNB, baked it and made fish tacos!!! Just a FYI that can take it to the Southport Raw Bar & Restaurant and they will cook the fish for $25/pound. The deckhands and Skipper are helpful and very informative...they WANT you to succeed on this fishing trip!!! Please do not forget to tip and I guarantee this is an excursion you don't want to miss....and this comes from a person who had never fished until I did this tour the first time!!!

5.00Great 4 hrs short ride to drift fish. We had a small group and calm weather so we were able to fish different depths, all spots we hit we caught fish. The crew explained how to use rods and reels and what to expect when the fish hit the line. Great day will take this charter again if I revisit Ft. Lauderdale
Sailfish Landed!
