OFFSHORE- As far as winter weather weekends go...this one coming up isn't looking too bad! It's not super flat summer calm conditions but definitely very doable compared to past weekends. Fishing reports to start off the week have been slim (For once the wind and rough stuff came early in the week!). The sailfish bite remains steady with a chance o...

OFFSHORE- Fishing remained good offshore this week; with a nice mixed bag assortment. Best action on pretty much all species will be in 90-300' of water. While you may hear of a few dolphin out deeper (and with the exception of swordfish and golden tiles) a large part of the action will be in or around the edge at 150'. Sailfish action remained fai...

Our Miami winter continues to throw some tough weather our way but the fishing continues to stay consistently good and definitely fishable.  This week I had Chris on one day and then Tony Michael and Tony's son Andrew to wrapped up the week.   The goal on both trips was to catch whatever we could and did well on a number of different species inclu...

When you think of winter you think of cold and snow up north but in South Florida it’s not that way. Most of the cold fronts this year affect us with a little cold and plenty of wind. Its been a really consistent pattern with a day or 2 of decent weather and then another front and more wind. It’s not always unfishable in the backcountry of Evergla...

We congratulate Jamie Humphrey from McClure Pennsylvania as this years …

This has been a solid week with daily trips and weather work  arounds.  It's been windy and cloudy in Miami for the most part this week but fishing has been solid.  Most of my trips this week have been with really cool clients that wanted to catch fish and not worry about targeting a specific species.  So this week has been highlighted by tons of...

OFFSHORE- Nicer weather early in the week allowed more people to get offshore; and the reports overall were pretty good. Sailfish action remains consistent; with pretty much everybody putting the kites up seeing at least a few fish and quite a few boats getting five or more bites. Not exactly ideal sailfish conditions for the weekend; but Sunday lo...

The last couple months were strange at best. We had a few Lows come out of the Carribean and cross the Keys and South Florida. The storms reached winds in the Tropical storm range twice but because the storm hit out of season you can’t call it a Tropical Storm. We got lots of rain in all the places I fish and then it got cold. All that and we stil...

As the weather cools down the Sailfish are heating up the action. We’ve been reeling in multiple fish in a single day with some impressive big Sailfish making an appearance alongside scattered mahi. Using kites with live bait has been... The post Ring in the New Year with a thrilling Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing report! first appeared on Ft Lau...

All right finally the worst of the weather for this month was largely over and December 18 was the last day of the High winds and rain. The last two weeks of the December have been really really good with just about anything we want to catch being caught. This second half of the month I was absolutely swamped with trips and I can't recall one trip...

The first two weeks of December were pretty tough with almost daily 20 to 30 mile an hour winds overcast skies and plenty of rain. In one stretch towards the end of the first half of December we got rain for almost 6 days in a row. However in between the tough weather I was able to get out with some clients and it was actually better than you woul...

We have been seeing good numbers of sailfish moving through …

Fort Lauderdale / Miami Inshore Fishing Report. Winds this week from 15-30mph not much rain and great cloud cover. Temps dropping to 60s at night. Night fishing for tarpon. As the cooler temps roll in […] The post Dec 22nd 2023 Inshore Fishing Report appeared first on Flat Bottom Charters.

There’s a good bite happening now on our drift and anchor fishing trips. Mutton snappers are adding some bigger fish to mix of our regular catches of yellowtails mangroves grunts... The post Day and Night Drift Fishing Trips Are Getting Good Action first appeared on Fishing Headquarters.

As the festive season unfurls so have our fishing lines! December in Fort Lauderdale has offered us a cocktail of weather patterns but anglers aboard our renowned vessels – ‘Marlin My Darlin’ both 46 and 53 feet of pristine charter...

The last couple months have been slow business wise. The fishing was pretty good until we started getting Low pressures systems late in the season. 3 separate storms flooded and had gale force winds in south Florida and the Keys. We had no hurricanes but some water/wind issues which just stopped everyday life. If that wasn’t bad enough I had back...

Now is the time that we find sailfish chasing schools …

I ended this month super busy and closing it out in a big way. In Monday I had Nathan from East central Florida.  He's been fishing with me for about 5 years now and dang it every time we fish either the weather stinks or the fishing is dead. Well today the weather was great and with the moon phase I swore the Bonefishing would be on fire. Did you...

The week of Thanksgiving always finds me busy but boy this was another level. I had regular client David and his friend Clay on Sunday for a six hour trip fly fishing for bonefish tarpon permit and then a four hour trip in the afternoon with another regular client Mike. The morning had us finding a few tarpon which we had some shots at on fly an...

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...
