Giant Swordfish caught on our last Friday Night Swordfishing Trip out of Fort Lauderdale

Once we had all the baits out again, we get a nice bite on the tip line. Hooked up! We fight the fish up to the boat in about 10 minutes. It was a windy night and we were getting pushed away from the fish, so the fight was twice as hard. When we got him to the boat, the fish was a couple inches short so we released him. So, we set back up and after a little while we get hooked up on something really nice. Now this was a big fish. Continue reading

A couple great Swordfishing Charters out of Fort Lauderdale

Well, I forgot to give a fishing report for last Friday Swordfishing trip and man it was a doosy! Well, as soon as we got out there and got our first bait in the water, ZINGGGG!!! Big swordfish, hooked up! We caught the fish in about a 1/2 hour, good fighter. I forget the forklength, but it was about an 80 pounder. A short while later, we get another bite. Swordfish hooked up again. This fish we caught quick, probably only a few minute fight. The fish was undersized, so we released him. Continue reading

Great Night Anchor Fishing Off Fort Lauderdale on the Party Boats

It was a great week of night anchor fishing off Fort Lauderdale. We caught a nice load of yellowtail snappers every night this week. Our night trip has always been our best open party drift fishing trip for action. The reason is that on the night trip, we anchor fish for yellowtails and mutton snappers as well as the other multitudes of bottom fish. Continue reading

Fort Lauderdale fishing getting better and better into January

We’ve had a very cool week of fishing here in Fort Lauderdale these past few days. The drift fishing had been very slow during the week after Christmas, but the fishing has gotten much better this past week. Yesterday and today, we actually had a couple really good trips. I saw the party boat catch a bunch of yellowtail snappers and some nicer mutton snappers too. Among the snappers were some very nice kingfish caught as well. Kingfish have been all but extinct for us these past 3 weeks. We caught a few here and a few there, but for the most part, not many were caught. This week though, the kings were biting almost every day.

The fish get all turned on and hungry for some reason. Anyway, we went out and set up for kite fishing at one of our favore areas, just outside of Port Everglades inlet. Continue reading
