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...

Before the weather turned last weekend the dolphin fishing was good with lots of fish coming in 400-500' of water out of Jupiter. Trolling squid bonita strips and small ballyhoo remains a great way to go when targeting the dolphin. Conditions look good lat...

So...I hate to just make things up for the fishing report and I don't plan to start this week. Had one heck of a whirlwind week and a couple super cool opportunities. I fished in the Power-Pole National Redfish Tour stop in Steinhatchee last Saturday: Steven and I pieced it together for an eighth place finish (out of 85 teams). After a quick turnar...
