End of October Fishing Report!

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.

Wow all I got is wow! Went on the all day party boat with captain Walter and mate Jude. Best boat trip I have ever been in! We usually go on out local charters in Broward county- Walter is an amazing fun guy- he not only captains he works hard to know YOU and be very personable! Best captain so far I have had the pleasure of meeting! Thanks Walter for the awesome time and go I eat the extra mile to fish the way we did at the end to please me! 100% only will be using your boat when we come down every few months!

The accommodations at Bud N' Mary's exceeded all my expectations! The staff was friendly and very helpful with any questions or request for assistance. I stayed at the marina on the "Lucky Lady" houseboat and couldn't have been more satisfied. Fully equipped, clean and comfortable accommodations with a deck overlooking the ocean. I took advantage of their boat rental service and enjoyed a few days fishing in the back water. I look forward to a return trip for Tarpon season and will definitely stay @ the "Lucky Lady" again . . . Highly recommend
