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...

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...

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 …

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...

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...

This week was a mixed bag of bonefishing and just bending rods and having a good time. My week started off with Victor and his wife from Ukraine and the goal was to catch a few fish for dinner which we quickly did catching fun yellow jacks and tasty snappers. Then we switched off and fished the flats for sharks where we hooked up three or four sha...

I've been so swamped with charters that's it's been hard to update my reports page one trip at a time so I'll update for the week instead.  The week of November 8-11 we focused mostly on bonefish and permit and it worked out most of the time for bonefish but the permit were inconsistent early mornings.   on November 8th I had Charles and his wife...

Well folks I have to admit November weather has been highly disappointing. As I've mentioned before November weather is usually absolutely perfect but so far this month it's been pretty tough with high winds cloud cover and all around difficult conditions. In spite of the tough conditions fishing remains pretty solid and most of my fishing has con...
