Wow what a way to end the month of June! While most of my charters have been for bonefish tarpon and permit I have done a little bit of potluck fishing and done pretty well catching barracudas Jack ladyfish and the sort. But let's turn our attention to the prized silver species that are swimming around in Biscayne Bay right now. The last two weeks...

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.  June is the month where charters start winding down a bit it gets hot and the fishing changes a bit.  However so far this month June has been hot as usual but with an unusually breezy month it has been pretty comfortable out on the water.  The types of charters so far this month have been varied with...

If you’re looking for the ultimate deep sea fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale May has delivered nonstop action like never before. We’ve been reeling in huge Black fin tuna—we’re talking 20 to 30-pounders! On top of that  monster kingfish in the 15 to 40-pound range are striking hard and putting up incredible fights. And the Mahi Mahi has been sho...

I have to admit May was good but not on fire as the month of May should be.  But I also recognize I am part of the problem.  Well let me explain.  While we did have 2-3 slow days towards the last week of May due largely to the new moon most days were good.  But it wasn't on fire as it should have been and therefore I perceive it as slow.  Case in...

Ahoy fishing enthusiasts! Welcome to the latest fishing report from the Marlin My Darlin Fleet based right here in beautiful Fort Lauderdale.

Well so far May has been off to a bipolar start. The first week of the month was a grind with a lot of wind and we had to work hard for every fish we caught. However this second week of May has been exactly what may should be with low winds clear skies hot temperatures and even hotter fishing. There have been plenty of permit around bonefishing ha...

Spring deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale is heating up and now’s the perfect time to get out on the water! The mahi-mahi bite has been strong with plenty of action just offshore. We’re also seeing a solid run of blackfin tuna and even a few sailfish making an appearance – making this one of the best times of the year for sport fishing in Fort La...

NLBN Crew filming at Flamingo 05-15-25 thru 05-25-25 The last 10 days has been fun; I have fished Key Largo and Flamingo. I have been using the NLBN products for the last year and a half. In that time I have rigged with NLBN 3 inch for all artificial fishing. I have along with anyone who fished on my boat has used their products. There not really...

I’m sorry the report is a little bit late for the last month; I was catching fish! I know I have said it was windy in a few reports but it just has not slowed down. It has been common to fish in 15-25 mph. I’m lucky to fish out of Flamingo where we have hundreds of miles of shoreline in the backcountry. The winds aren’t completely bad! They create...

April was nothing short of a spectacular springtime fishing season here in Fort Lauderdale. The month was marked by a flurry of incredible catches including sailfish large trophy game sharks blackfin tuna and mahi-mahi. We even snagged a handful of nice-sized wahoos over the last 30 days. In summary April was fantastic and we’re optimistic […] The...

Welcome back everyone!  Well the second half of April wasn't great as it usually is which was a surprise.  Yeah we caught fish and made it work but it wasn't easy to make each day productive.  So far the last two weeks of April has seen the finger channels to be pretty slow with not a ton of action.  I thought it was just me but a couple of other...

What an incredible start to April the past two weeks have been. Sure there were a few slow days but those were definitely the exception rather than the norm.  Case in point I wrapped up the first half of the month with Charlie and Christine where they released 7 bonefish on the first day and 5 on the following day plus another 9 that come off.  Wo...

WOW what a great way to end the month of March. We did have some pretty rough days out here we also had some great Fort Lauerdale fishing trips. The Sailfish have been coming through pretty good along with some real nice Wahoo’s as you can see in the photos posted but we also had some real unusable catches as well like this nice African pompano al...

The last couple weeks have been busy I’m really thankful the fish bit most of the trips. It was mostly family trips some of the other trips didn’t send me pics. I fished Flamingo which is inside of Everglades National Park the last 2 weeks. The wind really beat us up on most of the trips but look at pictures below. You can see we caught fish every...
