OFFSHORE- Sailfish action should pick up headed into the weekend. A cold front and wind change should get the sails snapping. Bluewater Movement's three inlet "Sailfish Challenge" is Friday and Saturday; and with some of the best sailfish teams in the country competing...somebody is going to put up some numbers this weekend on the sails! The dolphi...

Greetings from the crew aboard Marlin My Darlin! February has proven to be an exceptional month for fishing in Fort Lauderdale thanks to favorable weather and thrilling catches. **Sailfish Migration and Offshore Action** The sailfish migration is in full swing creating exciting opportunities for anglers.

Today was another beautiful day fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale clear blue water and a very comfortable 72 degrees makes for a great day of fishing.We started out trolling for Wahoos since we managed to catch a couple nice ones the other day but today we just could not seem to find them. We then set out to catch some small bonitos to use...

OFFSHORE- Sailfish action seemed to slow way down this week. Those really putting in the time have been seeing a few fish but no big numbers to speak of. Looks like we get a cold front pushing through early next week which will likely have them snapping again. Dolphin fishing remains fair with a handful of decent fish around. East/southeast winds i...

OFFSHORE- Fishing was a bit slower offshore this week. Sailfish numbers fell off with two or three releases being a good day this week. A handful of dolphin mixed in with the sailfish but those numbers fell off as well. 120-250' remains a good depth to look for the sailfish. Dolphin seem to be biting best in 200-350' of water. East wind in the fore...

Today fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale started out slow. We had three fathers Al Dave and Michael who brought along their sons. Daniel Benny and James. Was flat calm and the water was clear blue beautiful day on the water slow fishing but we kept trying different methods and bam it finally paid off hooking into a doubleheader Wahoo turn th...

The Shrimp Run is here and in full effect! This is one of my favorite times of the year the Shrimp Run! Cold weather kicks off this huge flow of shrimp and the Tarpon can’t […] The post Tarpon Fishing During the Shrimp Run in Miami & Ft Lauderdale appeared first on Flat Bottom Charters.

My oh my this January has been a cold one but we've been able to get on the water almost every day and get some fish to the boat. Sure it took five layers for me to stay warm but the fish didn't care my clients were tough and we had a blast in the process.  This cold weather has caused the fish to become a bit lethargic but fishing a little deeper...

OFFSHORE- Much much nicer weather this week and calmer conditions have allowed a lot more people to get out this week; and the fishing reports coming back in have been good! Sailfish action remains very good; with just about everybody seeing a few fish this week and five or more chances not being out of the question. The sails seem to be scattered...

Flamingo January for us is our peak of winter air and water get cool to cold. We wait for the 10 day stretch of warmer weather and everything turns on. Our water temps has been is the 60’s for a couple weeks. It good for some species and others slow down until it warms. Live Shimp can really change your chances on the coldest days and when it warm...

OFFSHORE- Reports were slim this week offshore...turns out three days of greyed out misty rainy windy conditions with rough seas doesn't inspire a lot of people to run offshore. The conditions do look like they will start to improve later in the weekend though and the sailfish should be biting. 120-200' of water will be a good area to start looking...

What an epic day aboard the Hooked Up with the Faith Farm crew! We set out from Fort Lauderdale under clear skies and calm seas the perfect setting for a fishing adventure. After some trolling and anticipation the rods bent hard—and we knew we had something special on the line. After a thrilling fight we landed a massive wahoo! Known for their inc...

Happy New Year everyone!  2025 has started off red hot and it's been a ton of fun.  This is the time of year when I fish the natural channels that cut between the flats known locally as the finger channels but iI haven't done that much this month as clients have been booking me mostly for bonefish and other hard to catch species.  The bonefishing...

OFFSHORE- Sailfish action remains good offshore; though some days are definitely better than others. Wind ocean conditions and current (which obviously are all tied together) will dictate the action. Live goggle eyes and blue runners under the kite will no doubt be the best way to go for the sails. Expect a few dolphin including some bigger ones to...

Wow! What an incredible day out on the water off the coast of Fort Lauderdale! Lady Luck seems to be sticking with us as we kick off 2025 with another unforgettable Fort Lauderdale fishing trip. The weather was beautiful—just a bit chilly which might be helping push some fish through. The highlight of the day? Battling a silky shark on a spinning...

What a wild start to 2025! Our bottom fishing in Fort Lauderdale on January 1st was nothing short of incredible. We pulled up some XL Vermilion Snappers—by far the biggest I’ve ever seen—along with a steady bite of  groupers which is rare off Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never seen the grouper bite so strong around here! The only downside? They went out...

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...
