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...

Lady Helen mate Austin Brooker with a nice mutton snapper …

OFFSHORE- Sailfish action picked back up this week. Teams fishing the Jimmy Johnson "Quest For The Ring" have released well over a hundred sailfish midway through the first day (at time of writing on Thursday afternoon) of competition. Conditions look good for the sails the rest of today and tomorrow; hard to say what will happen headed into the we...

Well I survived Valentine's Day at home and the balance of February was great. We had a couple of mild cold fronts that kept the weather cool and the skies crystal clear. The tarpon fishing sparked up again as we landed a few tarpon on fly and hooked a few more on spin on different charters. Meanwhile on the flats bonefishing was fantastic with a...

This morning with we set out deep sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale with Harrison and 3 of his good friends for a few hours of kite fishing. We had no idea what a great fishing trip we were in for! We had 2 kites in the air with 2 live baits suspended from each kite once the trap was set the wait was not long with king mackerel striking...

OFFSHORE- Sailfish action absolutely went off last weekend with some of the best numbers of the season coming on Friday and Saturday. The sailfish numbers fell off a bit Sunday and early into the week but still a lot of boats with multiple chances over the past few days. This weekend is the Jupiter Billfish Classic; will be interesting to see if th...

This past week the Miami Boat show was in town every year myself and Capt. Alan Sherman get to fish with different employees from Yamaha Marine. Its always fun because these guys don’t fish much and anything that pulls drag is fun. We met them at Pelican Harbor on 79th. I had Shinoki and Yuki and it didn’t take long. I spotted some fish (Tapon) ro...

Right now is the best time to fish for 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...
