Late January Fishing Report

Epic bucket list fishing trip! Went fishing on the Broad Minded with Capt Mike Varney. There are no words to describe how excellent the day was!

2 keeper swords
3 dolphin
2 queen snapper
Several small, but tasty, tuna
And a couple of good smokers

Capt Mike is fantastic- he knows the fishing spots, and he’s very pleasant. All you have to do is listen to him and follow instructions and you will have an amazing day.

We were targeting Swords and made sure that we booked the trip on the appropriate days for prime swordfishing. If your target is a swordfish, please do your homework.

Highly highly recommend this boat and this Capt.!

This is my third trip on this full day party boat fishing trip. Had a great time and the entire boat caught lots of yellowtail, snapper and other bottom fish. I love the fact that the mates are there to help you in every aspect of the fishing trip. I highly recommend this boat. Also, please note you must bring your own cooler with water, sodas, beer ( no hard liquor allowed), food & snacks as they are not sold or provided on the boat.
