The month of October has provided solid fishing and tons of mullet migrating south getting snook and tarpon very excited and willing to take top water lures. However the month of October proved to be warmer than usual and the pilchards that should be flooding the bay never did show up as of this month.  To make up for the lack of pilchards bonefis...

October fishing report! 10-11-25 This past week the fishing was good I fished the FNLGA tournament out of Flamingo with my son James and friend Mike. We had a good start with 7 Redfish up to 24 1/2 inches. It took a while to get the rest of the species even though they weren’t giants. The numbers were good with a bunch of Snook several Tarpon Trou...

August/September are slow business months so I get to do lots of family and friends fishing. Having the Key Largo weekend home lets me get my fill of offshore action and dinner. I actually didn’t fish Flamingo for over a month; this has never happened in my 40 years of fishing there. There were a few things that made me not want to go floating gra...

Well OK it doesn't FEEL like fall yet in Miami but the fish think it is and that is all that matters.  Schools of fall migrating mullet have been getting bigger each day in Biscayne Bay and there have been plenty of tarpon and snook chasing them.  I have been using top water lures for these guys and it has been working well since the clicking spla...

Welcome to this week’s Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report from the deck of the Marlin My Darlin where we operate our 46′ and 53′ charter boats. Lately the waters have been teeming with action especially for those eager to reel in some mahi-mahi. As storm season hits its stride the currents are bringing in significant debris […] The post Later Septembe...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin reports sound good this week; with a solid number of fish being caught in 800-1000' of water. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid remains a very good way to go for the dolphin. Look for the dolphin to be on well formed weed lines around floating debris and on well defined current rips and color changes. Most of the dol...

OFFSHORE- Tough fishing continued offshore this week. Inside of 300' the water remains dirty with very little current. A few scattered dolphin out deep this week; with reports seeming to bounce from 800-1000' of water. The usual smaller trolling baits are the way to go for the dolphin; with bonita strips and squid being solid choices. Most of the d...

Greetings from the vibrant waters of South Florida! As summer gracefully transitions into fall Fort Lauderdale’s fishing scene is offering some fantastic opportunities for anglers of all kinds. Over the past couple of weeks the fishing has been consistently rewarding with ysuccessful catches both offshore and inshore whether it’s trolling or botto...

OFFSHORE- The new moon wahoo bite has been good this week with some good numbers around. The wahoo have been biting along the 120' ledge early in the mornin g and then sliding out to 250-400' of water as the sun gets up higher in the sky. A sea-witch and bonita strip behind the planer is a great way to go for the wahoo. The Nomad DTX minnow is also...

With the closing out of August we bid farewell to summer in Miami.  While it will still be warm during the first week or two of September I can't complain about August as it has been a solid month of great fishing.  We wrapped up the last half of August on a high note.  My first trip of the second half of the month had us losing a big permit early...

OFFSHORE- Fishing offshore was a bit slow this week; though it has been showing signs of improvement as the week goes on. Dolphin fishing has been good with some good catches coming in 200-300' of water and also outside of 1000' of water. The dolphin have been largely found around floating debris and along well formed current rips. Smaller baits (S...

OFFSHORE- Reports have been a bit slim this week. Those making it offshore have found a decent number of dolphin around. 600-800' of water seems to be a pretty good range for the dolphin. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid has been the best bet for the dolphin. Wahoo action slowed way down; but still a handful of them around. Kingfish...

This week has been an exceptional one for fishing in Fort Lauderdale with some of the best catches we’ve seen in recent memory. The reef trolling has been especially rewarding yielding impressive numbers of Bonita Kingfish Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna as well as a few Sailfish. Anglers have been thrilled with the constant action and […] The post Fort L...

Man oh man August has been on fire for the first two weeks.  First it's been a bit breezy making the dog days of August anything but.  It has actually been rather comfortable on the water (for August) making for some nice days.  More importantly the fishing has been on fire.  While most of my charters have been for bonefish and permit quite a few...

OFFSHORE- Wahoo fishing has remained good this week on the backside of the full moon. Trolling Nomad DTX Minnows in the 165 and 200 size has worked well for the wahoo in 130-300' of water. Hot Pink Mackerel Pink Lava and Wahooligan have all been great lure color choices for the DTX Minnows. Trolling planers with a sea-witch and bonita strip combo a...
