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...

The second half of March was a weather roller coaster ride. We had a cold front move through keeping the air temps in the 50's for almost a week and then tons of wind in the 20-25 MPH range and then it got slicked out with no wind on the last few days of the month. Throughout all this the fishing changed but generally remained good. The tarpon fis...

GIRLS ON SPRING BREAK CATCH WAHOO TUNA AND MAHI. Springtime …

OFFSHORE- Fishing has been good offshore this week with good springtime variety around. Dolphin fishing has been strong with catches coming primarily in 350-550' of water. Strong east winds in the forecast will likely push the dolphin in shallower this weekend. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid have all been good choices for the dolph...

cool story here Ross hooked and lost a snook and the orange lure He cast the topwater and caught the Snook which had his lure in its mouth. Very Rare to happen! 03-26--25 Flamingo /Key Largo area If you notice in my pictures guys are still wearing jackets and sweatshirts in the mornings. It’s cool then warms up to 80 the snowbirds love it! The fis...

The last couple of weeks have been a reel up and down roller coaster fishing for these sail fish in Fort Lauderdale. We’ve had some days where we were catching 3 to 5 sails a day than out of nowhere the current shifted and went from north current to south current and BAM just like that the bite slowed down. Don’t get me wrong one here and one ther...

OFFSHORE- Reports have been relatively slow offshore this week (largely all weather related). Before the weather turned last weekend the dolphin fishing was good with lots of fish coming in 400-500' of water out of Jupiter. Trolling squid bonita strips and small ballyhoo remains a great way to go when targeting the dolphin. Conditions look good lat...

So...I hate to just make things up for the fishing report and I don't plan to start this week. Had one heck of a whirlwind week and a couple super cool opportunities. I fished in the Power-Pole National Redfish Tour stop in Steinhatchee last Saturday: Steven and I pieced it together for an eighth place finish (out of 85 teams). After a quick turnar...

What an incredible first half of March we have had.  Things have been moving a bit quicker than normal and I attribute to the warmer than normal February we've had.  The big surprise has been the sheer number of permit around a little earlier than usual for early March.  The tarpon fishing has been solid for the smaller resident fish in the 40-60l...

Well it has been a real roller coaster fishing in Fort Lauderdale this month!! We started out this month with some of the best sail fishing I’ve seen here in 40 years I mean catching sailfish one after another not just us aboard the Hooked Up fleet I mean everyone was catching them As a matter a fact there was a 2-day sailfish tournament and they...
