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...

The second half of March was a weather roller coaster ride. We had a cold front move through keeping the air temps in the 50's for almost a week and then tons of wind in the 20-25 MPH range and then it got slicked out with no wind on the last few days of the month. Throughout all this the fishing changed but generally remained good. The tarpon fis...

The last couple of weeks have been a reel up and down roller coaster fishing for these sail fish in Fort Lauderdale. We’ve had some days where we were catching 3 to 5 sails a day than out of nowhere the current shifted and went from north current to south current and BAM just like that the bite slowed down. Don’t get me wrong one here and one ther...

What an incredible first half of March we have had.  Things have been moving a bit quicker than normal and I attribute to the warmer than normal February we've had.  The big surprise has been the sheer number of permit around a little earlier than usual for early March.  The tarpon fishing has been solid for the smaller resident fish in the 40-60l...

Well I survived Valentine's Day at home and the balance of February was great. We had a couple of mild cold fronts that kept the weather cool and the skies crystal clear. The tarpon fishing sparked up again as we landed a few tarpon on fly and hooked a few more on spin on different charters. Meanwhile on the flats bonefishing was fantastic with a...

This morning with we set out deep sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale with Harrison and 3 of his good friends for a few hours of kite fishing. We had no idea what a great fishing trip we were in for! We had 2 kites in the air with 2 live baits suspended from each kite once the trap was set the wait was not long with king mackerel striking...

This past week the Miami Boat show was in town every year myself and Capt. Alan Sherman get to fish with different employees from Yamaha Marine. Its always fun because these guys don’t fish much and anything that pulls drag is fun. We met them at Pelican Harbor on 79th. I had Shinoki and Yuki and it didn’t take long. I spotted some fish (Tapon) ro...

Right now is the best time to fish for a …

Well for the guys out there reading this report I hope you survived Valentine's Day.  What a stressful day but thankfully we have fishing.  The month of February has gotten off to a fast start with warmer than usual weather and very stable weather read no cold fronts and the nasty weather that go with them.  Overall fishing has been pretty solid s...
