lars Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Looks like I'm gonna be around Ft. Lauderdale and Miami in a couple of weeks. I'll be meeting up with some folks who are pretty green but would like to take a half day charter. Anyone know a good 1/2 day trip that they could recommend?

Spigola Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 If you fly fish I would definitely recommend Capt. Scott Hamilton. He's in W. Palm, about 30 minutes north of Lauderdale. That man will catch you fish. I caught albies with him till I yelled uncle. Spigola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hey Spig, thanks for the quick reply!! I flyfish, unfortunately the others do not and I guess I'm gonna have to find a non flyfishing deal. Or,,, I guess they could all watch me fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamakatsu Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 You looking for a cushy sportfish with a cabin and head or a center console that will put you on fish? If it's the latter there's couple of people I can recommend to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spigola Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 lars, You can also bring a 9 weight and an assortment of flies, or a spinning rod and a bunch of lures and fish the beach in the early morning hours before the lifeguards and people get on the beaches. I do that in Ft Lauderdale on a regular basis. Spigola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if they did both conventional and fly fishing that way I could flyfish while the others used conventional tackle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamakatsu Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Lars, give Glenn Morgan on the Endangered Species a call at 305-335-2826. He runs out of Haulover Inlet in North Miami. He has a 26' Goldline, with a 9 foot beam. It is a very comfortable boat. He spends most days commercial fishing for kingfish or swords, and also does charters. He's a real low profile guy, but an excellent fisherman. Ask him about the fly fishing as I know his MO is to chum with live pilchards, then live bait. If you want to spend the extra dollars, you should look into chartering Bouncer Smith, who is somewhat of a legend down there. BTW, Glenn sometimes works as a mate for him during the tournaments. You won't go wrong with either guy. www.captbouncer.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
