Location: They are located at Cove Marina in Deerfield Beach (135 miles from the Brooks – 2 1/4 hrs). After a short jaunt down the Inter-coastal to the Hillsboro inlet you’ll be fishing in 15 minutes.
They just don’t have to go out far to catch fish. In fact, you are rarely 2-3 miles from shore right in the Gulf Stream… Also, log on to facebook.com/BOLOsportfishing to see the daily catches and updates.
Boat: They have one boat, a recently overhauled custom 48’ Merritt (new twin Cummings diesels) with Captain & owner George Disbury – J.T. his usual mate.
Cost is less than our west coast charters (the gulf stream is right there) 4 hr. charter at 7:00 am to 11:00 pm and 12:00 to 4:00 $800 + tax & tip Monday – Thursday; $900 ++ Friday – Sunday
6 hr. charter at 7:00 am to 1:00pm $1200 + tax & tip Monday – Thursday; $1300 ++ Friday – Sunday
They also offer a “shared charter” Let’s say only two want to go you can book a shared 4 hr. trip $187 each sharing with others Max 6 fisherman.
They also do an 8-hour swordfish trip $2400 in 2000 ft. depths with electric reels. WOW!
On their web site they show shared charters & private charters. They list pricing and availability to book. Like Naples it is cheaper & more availability Monday – Thursday. When you book a private charter you can take up to 6 people, which lowers pp. cost, but we have always taken 4 guys and one car. We also preferred 6 hrs. If the trolling is not producing, there is time to bottom fish and/or cover more area.
Captain George says that mornings are the best fishing. Apparently, the water is so deep and dark that the fish get active and surface feed at 1st light. The fishing is the best when weather is warm!! Cold weather chases the bait fish south…. unless you are bottom fishing in deep water.
BOOKING: Use their web site to pick the type of charter, pick an open day, and book. You will be required to use a credit card, and will get a confirmation back along with a “Waiver” sheet to fill out and electronically return. Cancellation refund 24 hours prior…
Bring your snacks, WATER/drinks and sunscreen!!
They will call you if weather or seas are bad. I make it a point that we are coming from the west coast and ask that if they expect to cancel, please do so 2 days out.
We took one car, left Shadow Wood at 1:00, checked in to La Quinta Hotel 3:30, went to the marina (two miles away) to meet the George and see what was caught, then to the beach area (2 miles) for drinks and dinner. We were up before 6:00, breakfast at the hotel and at the boat by 6:30 – back at 1:00, had lunch & back at the Brooks at 5:00.
We stayed at La Quinta Hotel (Now part of the Wyndham Hotels). 100 SW 12th Ave, 954-637-0458, free breakfast. Wyndham members or AAA rate @$103++ Many other beach hotel spots, $$$.
Take I-75 S till exit 19 then merge left, FL-869 N Sawgrass Expy, left on Fl- 845 South Power Line; Right on Fl- 810 Hillsboro Blvd. Right on SW 12th Ave – past WAWA , La Quinta #100.
The Cove Marina and beach restaurants take a right (east) on Hillsboro Blvd, only about 3 miles from La Quinta , 1756 SE 3rd Court at COVE PLAZA – just before the bridge!!! The marina is at the east end of the plaza. Great place for lunch right in the plaza is Sylvain’s.
Dinner spot – Whale’s Rib 2031 N.E. 2nd St. (954-421-8880) not fancy, good seafood and busy. Flanagan’s Seafood bar (kind of a bar/ bar) is adjacent to the Whale all about 1/1/2 miles from the marina and a block from the beach) Past few times we dined at JB’s on the Beach outside 300 N.E. 21st Ave. (954-571-5220) better choice, reservation suggested.
