Great Fort Lauderdale Fishing these days on the Drift boat

The fishing out of Fort Lauderdale today was pretty good. The drift fishing boats have been catching a lot of variety out there, mostly a mixed bag. The vermillion snappers have been hitting good out there while bottom fishing. We’ve been sitting on top of our 200′ snapper spots when there isn’t much current. Alot of the vermillions are keepers, but some are throw backs. Continue reading

Fort Lauderdale Swordfishing Private Charter- Success Again!

The fish hit at about 11:30PM and took a huge run of line. He definetly didn’t come in easy, thats for sure. Fortunately for us, the fish got hooked right in the perfect spot: the corner of the mouth. Swordfish are notorious for getting off because the hook pulls through their soft jaws. Well this one was hooked good and after a grueling 25 minute fight, we got the fish in. The angler who caught him had never caught a swordfish before, but he took instruction from the crew great and got the fish in within record time. Continue reading
