Deep Sea Fishing Charters coming in with some great catches off Ft Lauderdale, Miami and Pompano

The shark fishing hasn’t slowed down any either. Its still big game shark season out of Fort Lauderdale now and they are eating machines. There is no guarantee that your going to catch a shark or not on one of our charters, but the chances are pretty dang good. There is a huge migration right now of the really big game sharks about 2 miles offshore of Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Pompano. They are moving through, so they are hungry. Put down a big bloody bait in 350′ of water and you’re very likely to be pulling up something bigger than you are. Continue reading

Tons and Tons of action fishing on the Fort Lauderdale drift fishing party boats

The day fishing trips have been exciting lately. The weather has been beautiful and as usual this time of year, the fish have been biting. When the kings are biting, we’re on the reefs drifting out dead ballyhoo and sardines. The action is good. Sometimes we get jumped by a school of mahi mahi and then we really come in with a good catch. Lots of action on the morning and the afternoon trips lately. Continue reading

41 Pound Bull Dolphin caught sportfishing offshore of Fort Lauderdale

Cow dolphin usually get to the baits first. Bulls have a lot of water to push with that huge blunt head and usually get to the baits a little after the cows get there. I kept a close eye on the other baits, but nothing was happening, so we concentrated on fighting the one we had on the line. It was getting closer to the boat now, and we could tell it was a nice cow, about a 20 pounder. It was almost invisible, but I saw the glow of blue about 10 feet trailing behind the cow. It was a bull and it was a big one. Both fish were off our port side, the cow on the line and bull trailing free right behind it.

Dolphin Madness on the Fort Lauderdale fishing boats

On this Fort Lauderdale sportfishing charter, we wailed on the mahi-mahi. Huge dolphin were all over the reef and we were catching them on everything we threw out there. A couple of these big bull and cow dolphins were caught kite fishing on live goggle eyes. Some of them were caught trolling artificial lures and rigged dead baits. The dolphin were snapping though.

On this Fort Lauderdale Sportfishing Trip, what didn’t we catch?

A little later they hooked into the big daddy fish, this huge atlantic sailfish. There are few fish in the ocean that have the beauty in their colours as sailfish do. This fish put up a great fight and this angler had a great experience catching this fish. Sailfish are more of a winter fish, but for some reason, we’ve been still seeing them here and there very late in the season. I am glad this one hung around Fort Lauderdale for this long and I hope his buddies stay for a while too.
