Dang if there was a way to start off the month of June this would be it.  It's been hot but that has been a side note in light of the awesome fishing we had so far this week.  I began the week with Amy her son Henry and this friend Daniel out of Key Biscayne.  They were great to fish with and armed with shrimp on jigs they started off hot with Dan...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing has really picked back up this week; with both some decent numbers and decent size fish as well around. Reports have been a bit all over the place again as well; with good reports coming in from 250-300' and outside of 1000' as well (Check the pics below of Steve with some good dolphin caught in 850' this week). Small ball...

What a way to end the month but it was not all good news at first.  My Saturday charter was with regular local client Barry and we were fishing out of Key Biscayne on Memorial Day weekend.  Not good.  But he was there for a few nights and couldn't drive south so the plan was to meet him there and well that's when things went sideways.  With HUGE a...

OFFSHORE- Following a bit of a slower Memorial Day weekend offshore fishing has started to improve again. Dolphin reports have come in from a wide variety of depth ranges this week; with fish being caught everywhere from 70-1000' of water. Sounds like the more consistent fishing on the dolphin was out a little deeper. Steve on "Into The Mystic" sen...

I’ve been fishing the Key Largo area the last few weeks targeting Mahi and Yellowtails along with fishing some really cool reefs in 15-25ft. The common way of catching Yellowtails is to chum in 50 to 90 ft. It’s very productive for the Yellowtails but there’s plenty of by catch to keep busy. I fished with my nephew Andrew on the holiday after catc...

What's up everyone?  It's been a busy month so far so here is a catch up report of what's been going on in Miami/Biscayne Bay.  The first week of May started the way the April ended on fire!  Joel and Paul were with me for the last day of our trip and we got into some super shallow super calm big tailing bonefish action that had us going 3 for 4 o...

**Springtime Fishing is in Full Swing!** Greetings fellow anglers! We’re thrilled to share that the fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale has been absolutely phenomenal over the past few weeks. The spring conditions have really started to show their... The post This May’s Fort Lauderdale Fishing Charter Report Aboard Marlin My Darling first app...

OFFSHORE- Another good week of fishing offshore; and if you can believe it a really nice looking forecast headed into the holiday weekend! This is a great time of year to fish offshore in Jupiter...just about everything from Blue Marlin to monster mutton snapper become at least somewhat of a realistic possibility. On the deeper side of things (Say...

OFFSHORE- Overall another very good week of fishing offshore. Good dolphin fishing in the 500' range. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid has been a reliable choice for the dolphin. Look for weedlines current rips and color changes...the dolphin won't be far behind! Blackfin Tuna action remains very good in 250-350' of water. A live bai...

I am sorry about the lack of reports but computer I’ve had some issues. I’m back on fishing reports. The winds have been continuous since Christmas which don’t eliminate fishing Flamingo. wind directions play a big part of where we can fish on any given day. This is why most of us guides have hundreds of spots thru out Everglades National Park. Th...

And May now has come grouper season is open and here we go looking forward to some more mahi-mahi some sailfish and have some good bottom Fishing Here off the coast...

OFFSHORE- Another interesting week of weather; with a fairly decent forecast for the upcoming weekend. Dolphin fishing has been very good for those making it out with 300-500' of water producing best on the dolphin. East wind could/should help push the dolphin a little closer in this weekend as well. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid...

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...

OFFSHORE- A little bit of everything weather wise offshore this week with everything from flat calm to very rough seas...and some more rough stuff on tap for the weekend. A mixed bag of action again offshore this week as well. Still a good sailfish bite with multiple releases being the norm. A little of the sailfish interest has begun to taper off...

Well what can I say it's been good this week!  From bonefish to snook and everything in between.  The first two trips of the week was with Ben and his son Patrick and the following day with Ben and his other son Nick.  What two great trips!  Day one Ben and Patrick caught a bunch of trout hooked a few snook and landed a few more. Patrick hooked a...

OFFSHORE- Reports have been a bit slow this week offshore. Despite the decent cold front sailfish action never really went off. The general consensus was most boats putting the kites up saw a fish or two with only a few boats getting more than 4 or 5 chances. A scattering of dolphin in 250-400' of water but no big numbers. The wahoo have shown up a...

Wow what an incredible second half of December we’ve had in Miami. The bay has been firing on all cylinders and with the exception of the last couple days of the month it’s been relatively warm. Although the air temperature has been warm the water temperatures have been cooling and that has caused permit to stack up as well as Pompano mackerel Sna...

I wish all a Happy New Year! The end of fishing year was exciting for a few weeks when the big Tarpon showed up in the back country and on the coast. I spent the holiday in Key Largo fishing with my kids. and a block party for the neighborhood just having a good time. We caught Mutton Snappers Yellowtails Barracudas Cero Mackerels Parrotfish Snook...
