Chad fished with me 5 years ago and was back today for a full day of mixing it up.  We worked hard early morning to get him his first bonefish but there were snook around so we began by throwing top waters at snook missing a couple of bites and landing a cool jack that crushed the top water lure.  Along the way I noticed we blew out a few bonefish...

Eric and his son Will booked me for a full day in August!  They wanted to mix it up but with the conditions we had I told them we would start off bonefishing.  I had to fish a different area than I usually do for bonefish for a few different reasons but we hit it just right and those bonefish were pouring through big time!  This would be a short w...

Chelsea booked a trip for her boys 15 and 14 year old hardcore fishermen sons.  This was a cool trip where we caught a bunch of different species and kept mixing it up.  Towards the end of the trip we decided to shark fish with some of the fish we caught and set up on one of my favorite flats on this tide for sharks.  Well we set the baits out and...

That's what Bruce had told me when he jumped aboard with his son.  I made sure we start early for two reasons 1: the best bite has been on the outgoing tide and 2: we need to beat the heat and avoid the 91 degree water temps we have been seeing by late morning.  With that in mind we idled out of the marina for our half day trip and worked it.  The...

The end of July and the first few days of August were all about beating the heat and bending rods.  Bonefishing was been fair with lots of early morning activity but the fish have been really spooky and the same for lots of the permit that have been around.  For many clients the ask has been to catch fish as well as sharks on the flats.  Again ear...

Dad/sons day out on the boat today with Steven and his two boys Jack and Travis.  They wanted to bonefish and catch sharks so we started off our full day bonefishing.  The conditions were great but the full moon meant a decent number of fish were offshore spawning but there were some still around.  We missed tow bites early on  and then made a mov...

The last 10 days we have seen a variety of different species of fish offshore. Most of our fishing charters have stayed in shore along the reef. With the best fish and being in sure most of the fish range... The post Fort Lauderdale Fishing Late July first appeared on Ft Lauderdale Fishing Charters-Fishing Fort Lauderdale FL.

The species are here in good numbers when that happens we try to catch all of them. The backcountry fish that make up the Slam are 3 of the 4 Tarpon Snook Redfish and Trout. If you are lucky enough to catch all 4 it is a Grand Slam. In the last couple months we have slammed on almost every trip. The fishing is so good I hate to miss a day but it’s...

Alex 11 o'clock 30 feet cast 10 feet in front of the wake!  Tyler you cast 2 o'clock 35 feet 10 feet in front of the wake!   That's how today started with zero wind calm conditions and bonefish all around.  Early on Tyler hooked and lost a freight train of a bonefish and then lost another one while Alex missed the bite on a third one all within 45...

Man it's been hot but that comes as no surprise to anyone reading this report.  Today I had Jonathan and Mary Ann aboard for a 6 hour Sunday trip.  Right off the bat at 7am the water temps were 88 degrees and the bonefishing was slow.  I moved them to other flats to shark fish and boy was it slow with Jonathan hooking a nice lemon shark but the ho...

Well the fun BBI tournament in Key Largo was back on today after Covid shut it down for 3 years.  This is a fund raising tournament for a ministry that helps single moms coming out of abusive relationships and they are assisted with job training clothing work shelter and more.  I had three very cool people on board today in Dawn Jan and James.  Th...

These last few days has been bonefish and permit fishing with different clients such as Mark Elie and Dorian.  I have to admit a 6AM start has been the key and for the last of the outgoing tide the fishing has been on fire with tailing bonefish and permit all over the place.  Sounds awesome right?  Well it has bene but we haven't been hooking fish...

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...

I have to admit it's been a tough December so far well until this week.  The first week or so of December I was busy with charters and it was a grind.  The weather was good the moon phase was great and the water temps were perfect and yet fishing was a grind.  During this time we didn't catch and bonefish or snook and most of the trips were worki...
