anyone fished the ft lauderdale florida area? I need some advice for this thurs.

[toyguy]

My advice is pretty basic, and in order of ease:

1. look at the entertainment guide in your hotel room
2. go to frt desk/concierge/ tourist brochures in lobby of hotel
3. go to the docks and ask/see for yourself
4. go to a bait shop (on the dock) and ask
5: Here's my results from searching "fort lauderdale fishing charters" on Bing

6. Stop with 1 thru 5 above since they are close to one-stop shopping.

Please post charter rates (and pix!); it's obvious several of us are curious as to what you are going to find.

Git 'er done, Jed! (Consider this your first homework assignment for D-school)
