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...

As a seasoned Captain fishing over 35 years off the coast of Fort Lauderdale you can say I’ve learned quite a bit about anglers and fishing down here. I want to talk a bit about the does and dont’s when chartering a boat and coming back to the dock feeling like you got your monies worth and with a crew that gave it their best trying to catch you n...

Doesn’t happen a lot but I’m going to skip this week’s fishing report (Picking Fisher up from Summer Camp in North Carolina and somewhat disconnected). Back to regular programming next week.Thanks For Understanding! ​Todd [...]

The second half of July got HOT and the fishing was still good with most trips being fun catch whatever is fun trips.  These are great trips because we can focus on the best fishing not necessarily a specific species.  My trips were with Scott then Ray and his friend Evan Tom Danny and his kids and I wrapped up the month with local regular clients...

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...
