OFFSHORE- Still a decent pick on the dolphin this week; and SE winds throughout the weekend should keep them biting pretty good. Best depth on the dolphin has bounced around this week with reports coming in from 200-1000' of water. Trolling small ballyhoo squid and bonita strips remains a solid choice for the dolphin. Look for the dolphin to be rel...

If you’re looking for the ultimate deep sea fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale May has delivered nonstop action like never before. We’ve been reeling in huge Black fin tuna—we’re talking 20 to 30-pounders! On top of that  monster kingfish in the 15 to 40-pound range are striking hard and putting up incredible fights. And the Mahi Mahi has been sho...

I have to admit May was good but not on fire as the month of May should be.  But I also recognize I am part of the problem.  Well let me explain.  While we did have 2-3 slow days towards the last week of May due largely to the new moon most days were good.  But it wasn't on fire as it should have been and therefore I perceive it as slow.  Case in...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing remained good this week. Dolphin have been caught in 200-1200' with most of the better reports coming on the deeper side of things. West wind in the forecast will likely push the dolphin out deeper as well this weekend. Trolling bonita strips and squid remains a great way to go for the dolphin. Blackfin tuna action slowed...

Ahoy fishing enthusiasts! Welcome to the latest fishing report from the Marlin My Darlin Fleet based right here in beautiful Fort Lauderdale. As we wrap up an incredible month of May we’re thrilled to share the highlights of some fantastic catches and memorable moments out on the water. **Mahi-Mahi Mania** This May has been nothing […] The post Fo...

OFFSHORE- Good fishing continued offshore this week. Dolphin fishing has been very good with a lot of fish around. Best depth seems to be 800-1000' of water for the dolphin. Look for well formed weed lines current rips and floating debris to have the most fish on them. Trolling a spread of small ballyhoo bonita strips squid and a mid sized diving p...

Well so far May has been off to a bipolar start. The first week of the month was a grind with a lot of wind and we had to work hard for every fish we caught. However this second week of May has been exactly what may should be with low winds clear skies hot temperatures and even hotter fishing. There have been plenty of permit around bonefishing ha...

Spring deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale is heating up and now’s the perfect time to get out on the water! The mahi-mahi bite has been strong with plenty of action just offshore. We’re also seeing a solid run of blackfin tuna and even a few sailfish making an appearance – making this one of the best times of the year for sport fishing in Fort La...

NLBN Crew filming at Flamingo 05-15-25 thru 05-25-25 The last 10 days has been fun; I have fished Key Largo and Flamingo. I have been using the NLBN products for the last year and a half. In that time I have rigged with NLBN 3 inch for all artificial fishing. I have along with anyone who fished on my boat has used their products. There not really...

OFFSHORE- Beautiful weather forecast into the weekend will no doubt have the ocean very busy! Dolphin fishing has been good with mahi reports coming in from all kinds of scattered depths. One day the dolphin will bite in 200' of water and the next it's a 1000'. Best bet on the dolphin is to look for current rips color change hard edges or well form...

I’m sorry the report is a little bit late for the last month; I was catching fish! I know I have said it was windy in a few reports but it just has not slowed down. It has been common to fish in 15-25 mph. I’m lucky to fish out of Flamingo where we have hundreds of miles of shoreline in the backcountry. The winds aren’t completely bad! They create...

April was nothing short of a spectacular springtime fishing season here in Fort Lauderdale. The month was marked by a flurry of incredible catches including sailfish large trophy game sharks blackfin tuna and mahi-mahi. We even snagged a handful of nice-sized wahoos over the last 30 days. In summary April was fantastic and we’re optimistic […] The...

OFFSHORE- Fishing remained good offshore this week with a nice variety of species around. Dolphin have been scattered from 200-1000' of water depending on wind and ocean conditions. It hasn't been big schools of dolphin; but instead smaller packs of fish. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid remains a great way to go for the dolphin. Bla...

Welcome back everyone!  Well the second half of April wasn't great as it usually is which was a surprise.  Yeah we caught fish and made it work but it wasn't easy to make each day productive.  So far the last two weeks of April has seen the finger channels to be pretty slow with not a ton of action.  I thought it was just me but a couple of other...

OFFSHORE- Decent mixed bag spring action continued offshore this week. Dolphin fishing remains good with fish scattered across a wide range of water depths. East winds in the forecast should help push the dolphin in a little shallower for the weekend. The usual assortment of bonita strips squid and small ballyhoo will be a good way to go for the do...

​SHOP NOTE: Closed on Easter Sunday...Publix told us it was OKOFFSHORE: Fishing remains very good offshore this week with a wide variety of action available. Dolphin action has been good though scattered with reports coming in one day from 100-15o' of water and 15 miles offshore the next day. Fairly strong east/southeast winds in the forecast for t...

What an incredible start to April the past two weeks have been. Sure there were a few slow days but those were definitely the exception rather than the norm.  Case in point I wrapped up the first half of the month with Charlie and Christine where they released 7 bonefish on the first day and 5 on the following day plus another 9 that come off.  Wo...

WOW what a great way to end the month of March. We did have some pretty rough days out here we also had some great Fort Lauerdale fishing trips. The Sailfish have been coming through pretty good along with some real nice Wahoo’s as you can see in the photos posted but we also had some real unusable catches as well like this nice African pompano al...

The last couple weeks have been busy I’m really thankful the fish bit most of the trips. It was mostly family trips some of the other trips didn’t send me pics. I fished Flamingo which is inside of Everglades National Park the last 2 weeks. The wind really beat us up on most of the trips but look at pictures below. You can see we caught fish every...

Hello! Todd is fishing up north in a Redfish Tournament so we have taken over this week's fishing report. So let's get started!OFFSHORE- Fishing has been pretty decent offshore this week as April kicks in. The ocean does seem to be a bit rough through Saturday hopefully will calm down Sunday. We hoped that with the south east wind this week there w...
