livetoskate Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 So I am in south Florida very often for work and have yet to ever get to go out on freshwater. I stay at my buddies place in Fort Lauderdale and was planning to find a place to rent a bass boat and take him out for his birthday at the end of march. Always wanted to fish Okeechobee and planned on renting a boat from Roland Martin Marina. Just got off the phone with them and you are not aloud on the lake with they're rentals due to safety because of the water level. So now I am wondering if there are any other options within 2 hours of Fort Lauderdale to rent a bass boat and have a good chance at catching some nice Florida bass. Something I have always wanted to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Would love to get a guide but don't think I can afford it. Thanks in Advance. Quote

Super User geo g Posted March 6, 2019 Super User Posted March 6, 2019 Holiday Park and sawgrass park in Broward county on US27 both have boat rental You would have to call to compare prices. For fishing results check the fishing forums. Quote
Tyler Schmidt Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Could always hire a guide whom is more familiar with our Florida waterways Quote
ThirstyBalboa Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Man you dont need a boat in south Florida! I catch loads of fish from the shore. You really want some fun in south Florida I suggest not limiting yourself to largies. You have to catch a peacock bass. If you have Instagram check out thirsty feeshin. We have loads of pics there for you to see them all. I would suggest just hiring a charter. They have them in palm beach county, I see them cruising canals all the time. They do all the hard work and you will have a chance to catch most exotic species in the area. 1 Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted March 13, 2019 Super User Posted March 13, 2019 You do not need to rent a boat to do well in South Florida and you can do well from the shore. Bring some hollow belly frogs, spinnerbaits, soft stickbaits, flukes, swimbaits, and trick worms. Good luck and have fun! Quote
SteveA Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Has anyone heard of Nu-Lendend boats. If so any feedback would be appreciated. I’m looking at a 99 200v with a 150 mariner magnum for $9,800 Quote
