Captian Tom ZsakCaptain's History:
The Happy Day Today is the longest running charter boat in Ft. Lauderdale and holds of 34 local records. The boat's captians, Rick Brady and Tom Zsak, teamed up in 1975 to establish the business. Since then, the two captains have gained the reputation as the “Best in the Business”. Not only have the captains fished out of Ft. Lauderdale for 30 years, but also the entire world, including St. Thomas, the Bahamas, Venezuela, Mexico, Coasta Rica, Mauritius and Australia.
The combined fishing experience in Florida and around the world give Brady and Zsak the awesome fishing knowledge needed to produce fish in Ft. Lauderdale.

fishing charter boatThe Boat:
A fully customized 46’ Hatteras. Engines are Detroit Desiel with 465 horse power each. The cockpit is where all the action takes place with five chairs to seat our customers, as well as plenty of rod holders. The boat is fully air conditioned, including TV, radio, refrigerator, and ice maker.

Preparing for the Trip:
Arrive approximatly 15 minutes prior to your departure to allow the crew to get aquainted with everyone and figure out what species to target. Once on our way, the mate will go over the proper fishing techniques to be used. Don’t worry, no experience is needed.


Travel Time to Fishing Grounds: charter boat at dock
We are extremely luck here in South Florida to have deep water in close proximity to the beach. The average depth drops off 100 feet of water every mile traveled off land. It is a beautiful thing when we are fishing within 30 minutes of leaving the dock.

Weather Conditions:

South Florida climate is warm year round. Temperatures range from 70 degrees to 90 degrees, and the average wind speed is 10-15mph. Frequent cloud cover makes it pleasant while fishing, and an occasional shower will cool off the air. The average sea conditions are 1 to 3 foot seas.

Maximum Allowance of People:
The maximum allowance of people in a boat is 6. If there will be more than 6 people in the party, the Happy Day Today will be more that happy to arrange a fleet for your group.
