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.!

Bud and Mary's Marina is an icon in Isla Morada they have the greatest Fleet of Charter fisherman in all of South Florida if you are looking to Charter a boat you can't go wrong at bud and Mary's Marina. They also have a great variety of gear and a variety of shirts and clothing. There is a small restaurant next door for picking up breakfast before you go on your Charter. Many of the famous record-breaking fisherman keep their boats at bud and Mary's Alex Adler who happens to be one of the greatest fisherman of all time keeps his boat here and we fish with him quite often he always seems to get the limit for us we like to bring home lots of mahi mahi so that's why we come to Bud and Mary's to Charter our boats.

Fishing Fun Day We always have a blast with the crew on this charter!! We would always love to catch more fish when we’re out there, but we caught a lot of porgies, some snapper and a hogfish that we couldn’t keep because it wasn’t in season, but it was a lot of fun to catch. Ray was great, as well as the captain when it came to, taking the fish off our hook and keeping track of them. This is something we plan on doing every time we come down! Lots of fun!!
