We took the 4-hour tour starting at 8am with Captain Lacy on the Reel Stubborn Fishing Charter and had a fantastic experience.

It was a bit of a slow start, but Captain Lacy stayed persistent and kept working to find the fish. His effort paid off and we ended up landing two great ones—a wahoo and a tuna—which made the trip even more exciting.

Captain Lacy was very professional and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. He even stayed out an extra 30 minutes on the way back to the dock to give us another chance to hook one more fish, which we really appreciated.

We’d definitely book with him again the next time we visit Florida and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing trip.

iv been a long time fisherman. iv been lucky to do some amazing fishing in my life on different guide boats and even live in worlds class fishing area myself. you cant fake knowledge which capt lacy has. Capt lacy
is also very patient with you. I probably annoyed him with a million different questions everything from what tides you want to fish to water temp to gear size and he explained everything in detail. even if we didnt catch anything my wife and i had a amazing time we were very fortunate to catch very large wahoo and a very large sail fish and even a couple Baracouda and had probably dozen other bites and lost 1 near the boat. can’t recommend capt lacy enough.

Captain Lacy made our trip one for the memory books! We went out at 7 a.m. and only had one bite the entire day, right up until we were about to head in. Captain Lacy is all about trying to get you that one big catch, especially on a slow day, and I experienced this firsthand.

We were on the water about ten minutes past our reserved time when one of the lines took off. Captain Lacy knew right away that it was big and set us up for success immediately. Once we wrestled the fish to the surface, he brought it aboard and wasted no time setting another line. The bait had barely hit the water when we heard the reel unspool!

After a tough battle, we pulled in the second of a pair of monster 4-foot kingfish. My buddy and I were thrilled to land anything on a day that had seemed bleak, and we could tell Captain Lacy felt the same way. I would highly recommend anyone interested in booking a charter in the Pompano Beach area check out Captain Lacy with Reel Stubborn Fishing Charters!

Absolutely phenomenal experience with Captain Lacy on the Reel Stubborn! From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Lacy struck the perfect balance between being professional, welcoming, and playful, making the trip both seamless and incredibly fun.
The Reel Stubborn was the ideal vessel for our adventure, just the right size to offer both comfort and safety while easily handling the ocean’s swells. You could tell this boat was made for serious fishing, but with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the ride.
We booked the six-hour trip, and it couldn’t have been better. It gave us enough time to switch target species mid-trip, starting with Kingfish and then shifting gears to chase tuna and barracuda. Captain Lacy’s knowledge and flexibility were top-notch.
Thanks to his expert guidance and hands-on tips, we pulled in a great number of fish! He walked us through how to get them to the boat quickly and efficiently, no matter what your experience level. He also had multiple types of rods on hand, tailored to different skill sets and strengths, making each catch a totally unique and thrilling experience.
Can’t recommend this trip enough. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced angler, Captain Lacy and the Reel Stubborn deliver a 5-star fishing adventure you won’t forget. We’re already planning our next trip

Great day on the water with Captain Lacey and first mate Paul. Within minutes of our first cast we had our first keeper and the action never stopped. We had simultaneous fish on 3 of 4 lines twice and brought in a total of 12 fish including Bonita, kings, tuna and a barracuda in just a few hours of our morning run. Captain and Paul did a great job keeping the baits loaded and lines working and boat was a perfect ride. They were slammed bust but made it look so easy and organized. Super prepared and professional. Great guys and guides who shared their tricks and were full of local knowledge. Will definitely head out again with this great crew and recommend them for anglers of every level. Thank you Paul and Captain for a perfect family fishing trip!
