Welcome back everyone and here we go with the end of the month fishing report.  We wrapped up the month of April with solid fishing although the last few days were pretty tough where we had to grind for every fish we got. With that being said the weather has been spectacular water temperature has been perfect and the fishing overall has been good...

OFFSHORE- Good fishing offshore this week with a pretty solid mixed bag of action. Dolphin fishing has been very good in 300-600' of water; with solid reports coming in from Palm Beach Inlet to north of Jupiter Inlet. Some well formed weediness have good numbers of dolphin around including a handful that need a gaff. Trolling the usual assortment o...

OFFSHORE- Rougher weather early in the week did keep reports a bit slower; but conditions look great headed into the weekend. The past few weeks have provided a fair mixed bag of springtime action. This is a great time of year offshore; with dolphin wahoo tuna kingfish and sailfish all being realistic possibilities. The sailfish bite has been a tou...

Welcome back everyone and it's been a strange spring so far.  The typical windy spring days have been few the air cooler than normal the mullet run delayed and tarpon have been MIA.  Well that sounds like a downer but in reality it's been good and it's been fun.  The first half of the month I have been all over the place from fly fishing for bonef...

OFFSHORE- Nicer looking forecast for the upcoming weekend. Reports have been a bit slim due to the weather; but those getting out have been finding some pretty good fishing. Starting to get some more dolphin reports; with depths seeming to bounce from 200-800' depending on conditions. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid should all work...

As we end the month of March we had a cold front to deal with high winds no wind cold and heat what a crazy month!  Thankfully fish still have to eat so it has been a good month with a few ups and downs towards the end.  Bonefishing has generally been good tarpon not so good permit have been around shark fishing has been solid and the finger chann...

Wow what an incredible finish to March and a fantastic start to April! Deep-sea fishing off Fort Lauderdale with Hooked Up Sport fishing  It is truly off the charts. Our bottom fishing is producing stunning vermilion snappers and we’re seeing an exciting uptick in Wahoo catches—the Wahoo are here and we couldn’t be happier! Sailfish are making a g...

Fishing is really starting to turn on here in Fort Lauderdale as we roll into our spring ‘sting time.’ We had a father and son aboard Hooked Up today for a 7‑hour trip and went 2 for 2 on sailfish plus put plenty of fish in the box for dinner. The spring bite is heating up and now’s a great time to get out here with the family and bend some rods w...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing really popped off last Saturday; with a few more biting into the early week. The dolphin were biting best in 120-300' of water. Conditions look great Friday and Saturday for the dolphin to bite good again. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid is a solid way to go for the dolphin. hey will also be happy to chase...

OFFSHORE- Less than ideal weather and a rough ocean has kept reports to a minimum this week. Not going to be especially calm this weekend; but conditions do look good for the sailfish to bite. Wouldn't be surprising to hear about a good number of releases and good numbers of sailfish tailing down the waves. Live goggle eyes and small blue runners u...

Here we go! Springtime bottom fishing in Fort Lauderdale aboard Taco’s Hooked Up is starting to fire up. We’ve been working the wrecks and putting some great bottom fish on the deck—hard‑pulling jacks and tasty snapper for the dinner table. Spring is just getting started and the bottom bite is only going to get better from here. Give us a call and...

This first half of March has been very interesting and just as expected in some ways. March is typically a windy month and that has been the case so far with two exceptions. We have been averaging winds between 15 to 20 miles an hour and although that sounds like pretty tough fishing it’s actually been very manageable and we’ve been doing well on...

OFFSHORE- Bit of a bumpy forecast for the upcoming weekend. Conditions look good for a strong sailfish bite on Friday and Saturday. A scattered pick on the sailfish throughout the week. A handful of dolphin reports this week in 300-500' of water. Blackfin tuna action remains good up to the north (Push Button Hill) with a fair number of tuna scatter...

OFFSHORE- Strong east wind has kept the ocean rough and reports to a minimum this week. Sailfish action remains good with boats fighting through the conditions all seeming to get at least a few chances and some boats seeing ten or more fish. The bite has bounced around; but 120-150' of water from the Juno Beach Pier to just north of Jupiter Inlet r...

It's not often I say that about month's end but this has been a tough month.  With the steady cold fronts dropping air and water temps into unusual lows the fishing has been tough.  The cold water temps made fishing a challenge on most trips making us really work for the fish we caught. With that being said I had plenty of good trips.  The good ne...
