The fishing is picking up this week in Fort Lauderdale. The drift boats are catching lots of yellowtail and mangrove snappers. Sportfishing boats are catching a mix of tunas, bonitos, kingfish, mahi-mahi and wahoo. Some big fish are showing up around the wrecks too including big groupers and amberja...

A line from one of my favorite books, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” pretty much sums up the fishing this week in Fort Lauderdale. We had some awesome trips where we hit wahoo, mahi-mahi or some big fish off the wrecks and we had some trips where we couldn’t get a bite no matt...

We caught a tuna and a couple small-medium sized dolphin on the way out to fishing grounds. Once we got out to swordfish territory...

The mahi-mahi bite is hot just outside the reef of Fort Lauderdale. For a few weeks in March, the mahi-mahi come in closer to shore than normal to do their annual spawn. It usually happens the last couple weeks of March. This week, we’re getting into some very nice mahi-mahi in 100-300ft of water, j...

IMG_1544ddd.jpg We had an awesome swordfishing trip today in Fort Lauderdale. We went out daytime swordfishing on a charter and got one! We started off trolling offshore and hit a couple nice mahi-mahi right off the bat. As we were getting them close to the boat, an estimated 400 pound mako shark c...

Dolphin and wahoo are biting offshore, sharks and sailfish are showing up on the reef and good action on snappers and amberjacks around the local shipwrecks. This ...
