01-27-24 It’s been kind of slow but I still need and want to be on water. I can always call my buddy Mike to help me stay on the fish Mike keeps my boat running and I appreciate. He' also catches allot of fish. I asked him if he wanted to go Target some giant Tarpon in the Flamingo Back country. I was watching the water temp’s last few days waitin...

OFFSHORE- As far as winter weather weekends go...this one coming up isn't looking too bad! It's not super flat summer calm conditions but definitely very doable compared to past weekends. Fishing reports to start off the week have been slim (For once the wind and rough stuff came early in the week!). The sailfish bite remains steady with a chance o...

OFFSHORE- Fishing remained good offshore this week; with a nice mixed bag assortment. Best action on pretty much all species will be in 90-300' of water. While you may hear of a few dolphin out deeper (and with the exception of swordfish and golden tiles) a large part of the action will be in or around the edge at 150'. Sailfish action remained fai...

Our Miami winter continues to throw some tough weather our way but the fishing continues to stay consistently good and definitely fishable.  This week I had Chris on one day and then Tony Michael and Tony's son Andrew to wrapped up the week.   The goal on both trips was to catch whatever we could and did well on a number of different species inclu...

When you think of winter you think of cold and snow up north but in South Florida it’s not that way. Most of the cold fronts this year affect us with a little cold and plenty of wind. Its been a really consistent pattern with a day or 2 of decent weather and then another front and more wind. It’s not always unfishable in the backcountry of Evergla...

We congratulate Jamie Humphrey from McClure Pennsylvania as this years …

This has been a solid week with daily trips and weather work  arounds.  It's been windy and cloudy in Miami for the most part this week but fishing has been solid.  Most of my trips this week have been with really cool clients that wanted to catch fish and not worry about targeting a specific species.  So this week has been highlighted by tons of...

OFFSHORE- Nicer weather early in the week allowed more people to get offshore; and the reports overall were pretty good. Sailfish action remains consistent; with pretty much everybody putting the kites up seeing at least a few fish and quite a few boats getting five or more bites. Not exactly ideal sailfish conditions for the weekend; but Sunday lo...

The last couple months were strange at best. We had a few Lows come out of the Carribean and cross the Keys and South Florida. The storms reached winds in the Tropical storm range twice but because the storm hit out of season you can’t call it a Tropical Storm. We got lots of rain in all the places I fish and then it got cold. All that and we stil...

As the weather cools down the Sailfish are heating up the action. We’ve been reeling in multiple fish in a single day with some impressive big Sailfish making an appearance alongside scattered mahi. Using kites with live bait has been... The post Ring in the New Year with a thrilling Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing report! first appeared on Ft Lau...

All right finally the worst of the weather for this month was largely over and December 18 was the last day of the High winds and rain. The last two weeks of the December have been really really good with just about anything we want to catch being caught. This second half of the month I was absolutely swamped with trips and I can't recall one trip...

The first two weeks of December were pretty tough with almost daily 20 to 30 mile an hour winds overcast skies and plenty of rain. In one stretch towards the end of the first half of December we got rain for almost 6 days in a row. However in between the tough weather I was able to get out with some clients and it was actually better than you woul...

We have been seeing good numbers of sailfish moving through …

Fort Lauderdale / Miami Inshore Fishing Report. Winds this week from 15-30mph not much rain and great cloud cover. Temps dropping to 60s at night. Night fishing for tarpon. As the cooler temps roll in […] The post Dec 22nd 2023 Inshore Fishing Report appeared first on Flat Bottom Charters.

As the festive season unfurls so have our fishing lines! December in Fort Lauderdale has offered us a cocktail of weather patterns but anglers aboard our renowned vessels – ‘Marlin My Darlin’ both 46 and 53 feet of pristine charter...

The last couple months have been slow business wise. The fishing was pretty good until we started getting Low pressures systems late in the season. 3 separate storms flooded and had gale force winds in south Florida and the Keys. We had no hurricanes but some water/wind issues which just stopped everyday life. If that wasn’t bad enough I had back...

Now is the time that we find sailfish chasing schools …

Wow wow wow!  What a way to end the month!  These last 7 days have been solid with just a slow trip mixed in.  We begin this week's report with Richard from TX and he wanted to target tarpon and snook.  This is tarpon season right?  I ask because we searched high and low on the oceanside flats for tarpon in their usual migration routes and it was...
