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...

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...

07-06-23 The last few days have been fun fishing. I fished with 2 of my favorite people Ross and Mindy on Thursday at Flamingo. Ross loves Tarpon and we were able to hook a few. We doubled up first thing. Ross was throwing a Berkley Gulp Swimming Mullet and I had a live Mullet drifting off the back of the boat. Ross stayed hooked up and landed the...

I had two trips today rare for this time of year and both trips went well.  In the morning I fished with Matt and his wife Danielle and you couldn't meet nice people.  Since they got to the marina about 30 minutes late we decided to fish for bonefish south of us and avoid a long time consuming run to the ocean side of the bay.  The fishing started...

If there is one word to describe tailing bonefish in ultra shallow ultra calm water is SPOOKY!  I got an early start today with and his friend in order to target bonefish and permit on fly.  Six AM at the dock before things got hot and crazy and off we went where the tailing bonefish have been as predictable as it can get.  They were there and the...

I always like to end the month on a high note and June was no exception.  Man was it hot today as Fax and I chased bonefish on fly!  We started at 7am and by 8:30am it was scorching.  As I poled all morning long after schools of bonefish the heat felt like it was increasing every half hour.  But it was worth it.  As I poled along we blew out a few...

The backcountry is alive right now with Tarpon Snook some Redfish. and assorted other species. In 5 hour trips we are hooking 30 to 50 Tarpon per trip and there are plenty of Snook mixed in. It a good trip for people who either can’t fish all day or have some where to be later on in the day. We dont waste allot of time running around. Paul and his...

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...
