Welcome back guys or should I say it's good to be back.  I had some trips in the early part of the month and then took a nice long vacation and came back to a full calendar of trips so here's the run down of the month so far.   The water temps are still in the mid to upper 80's but there has been a big push of mullet and pilchards migrating into B...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing was good ahead of the storm this week; and by the forecast looks like it could be very good going into the weekend. Hasn't been a super hot depth on the dolphin with reports coming in from 200-500' of water. This storm won't likely have mass debris floating up the Gulfstream but the strong south winds will no doubt have so...

OFFSHORE- Number of reports were down a bit this week (Not uncommon for this time of year...ocean traffic always tends to be a little quieter as September moves along ) but overall those making it out found the fishing to be pretty good. Dolphin fishing remains consistent with fish scattered from 200' to 800'. For the most part the dolphin have bee...

Plenty of good sized fish this week! We had the opening of snook season lots of small white bait everywhere tough weather but still got out there and made it happen. With the mullet run […] The post Snook & Tarpon Fishing In Ft Lauderdale Mullet Run 2024 Update appeared first on Flat Bottom Charters.

Another successful Mahi Mahi fishing trip here in Fort Lauderdale. Yep once again our anglers wanted to catch some Mahi Mahi and when I asked why Mahi they responded so we could bring home some fish for dinner. So we went for trolling to catch a couple king fish and than hit it out of the park with bottom fishing instead and well let’s just say th...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing remains good offshore; with some good catches coming in from 500-800' feet of water. Overall the average size remains in that roughly five pound range with a few bigger fish in the mix. Southeast winds and a little more movement in the ocean over the next few days will likely help push the dolphin in a little closer as wel...

The month of August always allows me to take a breather from an otherwise really busy season and while many don't travel this time of year it is actually a solid month to fish Miami.  I ended the month of August mixing it up fishing for snook sharks bonefish permit and dinner.   It began with two days of fishing with regular client Chris and we ta...

OFFSHORE- Fishing was good this week for anglers making it offshore. Dolphin fishing remained good with fairly solid numbers coming in 600-1000' of water. Finding floating debris remains the best bet for finding the dolphin. Small ballyhoo Bonita strips and trolling squid remain a great way to go for the dolphin. Blackfin Tuna reports picked up in...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing has been very good this week with lots of fish in 700-1000' of water. Average size on the dolphin has been around 5 lbs with a handful of gaffers in the mix. Trolling ballyhoo squid and bonita strips remains a good way to go for the dolphin. No major weedlines; instead most of the fish are in small packs around floating de...

These two weeks have been hot but they have been fun!  Fishing with a number of clients I've had the opportunity to fish for different species from bonefish to snappers.  My week started with local regular clients Josh and Janelle fishing out of Key Biscayne with the idea to catch dinner.  We had a fun trip catching yellow jacks and some legal siz...

Crazy hot weather past few weeks and the water temp inshore is 90 degrees but that hasn’t shut off the bite for the juvenile tarpon. This week we’ve had multiple double ups hour long sessions […] The post RED HOT TARPON BITE! appeared first on Flat Bottom Charters.

OFFSHORE- Dolphin reports remained decent offshore this week. The depth continued to bounce around a bit but overall it was better out deep (800-1300' of water). A swell and some east winds should help push some dolphin in closer over the weekend. Trolling squid bonita strips and small ballyhoo remains a good bet for the dolphin. The moon is gettin...

The fishing is really good considering the heat index is 110 every day and the business side is slow. Flamingo Snook bite continues to be fun! Hurricane Debbie blew really hard just off the S.W. coast but the watercolor was really clean for last weekend FFT tournament. Plenty of Snook Tarpon and Redfish were caught the Trout were tough to find kee...

Finally the winds have calmed down and it’s back to deep-sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. Today we had Kolton and 4 of his best friends down from Michigan to celebrate Kolton’s birthday! Everyone got to the boat this morning a little disappointed due to the Detroit Lions losing to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night football. A few beer...
