We provide the most elite fishing guide service in South Florida. We fish for tarpon, snook, jacks, barracuda, and countless other species in our intracoastal waterway.

Our fishing charters will vary according to the seasons the fish feed the best. In the winter months we target both inshore and offshore species often catching tarpon and sailfish in the same trip.

Whether you would like to baitfish, fly fish or throw plugs, Lunkerdog Fishing Charters will supply the gear, tackle, and of course, the BAIT!


Captain Jeff specializes in tarpon and snook and is one of the most recognized fishing guides in Fort Lauderdale.

The unique thing about fishing in South Florida is that you don't have to drag your family to some remote mosquito infested area to catch big game. Stay on the renowned Ft. Lauderdale beach where there is something for everyone - including tennis, swimming, sun bathing, spa days, shopping, dining, and more. Ft. Lauderdale is a very happening, yet relaxing metropolitan destination with lots to do for the entire family. Let us help you plan your trip in advance, so there's plenty of fun in the sun for all.

Hi, my name is Jeff Maggio. I have spent years living on this part of the Atlantic ocean. Ft. Lauderdale is where I grew up, fishing our massive waterways for tarpon and the mysterious snook. My father (Joe Maggio, founder of Salt Shaker Custom Yachts) taught me how to fish for big blue marlin, tuna and swordfish as a boy.

It is our mission to show others the treasure in sport fishing experience. We understand what it takes to have an experience of a lifetime and we will try our hardest to make sure that happens for you. >>> Book Your Trip Today!
