5 star ratingEpic 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.!

5 star ratingGreat stop for food, bait, fishing gear and charters My husband and I visited Bud and Mary's to grab some bait for our 5th anniversary fishing day trip the beginning of the month. Super friendly and happy people, we're very helpful to point out a nice spot to go fishing, and supplied us with great shrimp bait. Food smelled great but it was early so we plan to come back and try it. The property was super clean, including the dock. There were a lot of charters out that morning and a few visitors milling around. They have a small school of tarpon and nurse sharks and some pelicans hanging around wait for scraps, and you can purchase food to feed them. Really want to jump on a charter next time we come down! They also have a dive shop that had a huge selection of gear, but was closed for lunch while we were there. Great place, we will be back.

5 star ratingWent out on the party boat. Captain and mate worked their butts off to keep our hooks baited and in the water. We caught a ton of yellowtails. I've been on about 10 party boat trips and this one used more bait and chum than any I've seen. Great job and very friendly captain and mate! Would definitely go again
