Pleased to report that the catches have been again better here on our fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale. Some nice fish and more fish around. As you see pictured Wahoo Kings Jacks Tunas with Bonito mixed in and Sharks. Everything...

We are less than a month away from albie fishing. While there may be some bonito around right now the albies are basically a September fish.  Note this is a photo from last year. Already I saw a report this past week about albies and bonito off

It was an August with the most keepers I have ever landed this month from shore. By far it was the best August fishing I have ever experienced for stripers. For me it was a month filled with loads of big keeper fish as well as countless numbers of s

Essentially flat calm seas continue to greet us every morning. There are the expected scattered  showers to deal with but none so serious as to force a cancellation of a charter. Loads of juvenile Bonito (we call them bullets due...

…and it was a good one with a very nice crew with Yong Pan’s COSCO team and Jenna the team leader.  We landed a nice catch not big in numbers but mixed reef fish and pelagics like bonito and kingfish.  The most exciting hookup

The spanish arrival ushers out the bonito every year so it made sense to follow up my Topsail bonito trip/article in our previous issue with a Topsail spanish trip/article in this issue. I called up Capt. Mike Oppegaard of Native Son Guide Fishing to

It was a very good year for Slot Stripers. These were our bright spot.  It's that time of year.  The season has ended and the teacher in me is about to grade the season. The catch word for the entire season has been inconsistent. I can

 Labor Day weekend is here and there are sure to be a lot of fishermen out and about along the oceanfront. If you are fishing from shore the outlook is poor.  From a boat you have a much better chance at finding something although that act

October 13th 2024 – What to expect for the rest of October fishing Key West is a pretty easy guess as we look at the extended forecast and realize that our summer patterns are giving way to the winter here in Key West. Where we have been gazin

First bonito of the year for me landed today. It was a wild week of striper blitzes from the shore this week. And today was a wild one from the boat as my brother Steve and I got more than just stripers. Oh the stripers and the bait were just about

Had Don Beshada out with the boys today Tony Frankie and Jesse. Frankie got us going early with a nice bluefin then we jigged over 50 albies and bonito time to move made a long run to find the right water which we did which was lifeless changed gears

Well for the most part the weather this past weekend was pretty good. But the problem  wasn’t the weather it was the ocean. It definitely has a mind of its own. The swells we had Saturday were in the 10 foot range. The guys on the beach we

Had Santiago back with son Andrew and buddies Tony Rob Bob and Jamie. Plan was to either chase big fish On the troll or light tackle action they choose the latter. Made the run thanks Eric. Stayed on the birds and Had bass  on jigs with Bonus m

This time of year the Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing report usually contains mention of Kingfish and Bonitos. Especially Bonitos. So many Bonitos customers complain about catching so many. They pull hard and are fun to catch for a while but variet

  There are some bonito around but it is a hit or miss deal.  I landed this one yesterday from shore.  I'm being generous when I say the shore fishing here in RI is mediocre.  Compared to other years at this time it is way of
