Erratic fishing on charters in Fort Laud

We are back to seeing erratic results on our fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale. There have been some bright spots, but since our last report there have been some tough days in the mix for fishing offshore. We have included the pictures of Noel and Robin who fished with us this morning. Girls trip for these two celebrating a friendship spanning many years. Really nice Mahi-Mahi today ( 600 feet of water) and the ladies posing a second time with a pair of Skipjack Tunas that were caught in 750 feet. They also landed and released a shark. We have caught Blackfin Tuna but these are a species that has backed way off the last three days after regularly being seen and caught in water ranging from 200 to 400 feet. We are of course pulling for them reappear and be available to us here as they are good fun and give a good pull on light tackle. Near slack current conditions have slowed the bite on them. Hopefully the northerly trickle of current we began to experience today will kick start them into moving around, it certainly shouldn't be a negative circumstance if the current continues to move northward. Golden Tilefish have been a bright spot and there are some good ones as represented by the decent sized fish in the photo, but again they can and have shut down on south current days. Today we had very nice blue water on the reefs and out to 400 feet, and then beautiful Gulfstream colored water beyond there. A very slight current to the north had the Vermillion Snappers beginning to bite in spots in from 300 to 340 feet in depth. Those Golden Tilefish like that north current too and we would have certainly tried them again today with the slight north current if not for the choppy seas. Firm easterly winds had it a bit too bouncy for most anglers out in the 700 plus feet of water where we target them. The weather forecast is calling for the wind to remain steady in the low teens and occasionally stronger in spots, so choppy seas will continue throughout the week. Swordfish are basically out of the picture due to the seas that far offshore. Too bad as they have been biting. The better news is the breeze will likely bring more Mahi-Mahi into our area and they should be near shore and fishable with this clean clear blue water pushing all the way inside onto the reefs. And of course plenty of wind for live baiting with the kites near shore or just outside the reefs in more reasonable sea conditions for Sailfish.

Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing Report –
Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing Report –
Декабрь 20, 2023
As the festive season unfurls, so have our fishing lines! December in Fort Lauderdale has offered us a cocktail of weather patterns, but anglers aboard our renowned vessels – 'Marlin, My Darlin’ both 46 and 53 feet of pristine charter prowess – have reaped the benefits of a teeming Atlantic. Here's the lowdown on what's been leaping from the waters. **Sailfish Season in Swing:** December's dip in mercury traditionally heralds a spike in sailfish activity a trend that has held true. Thanks to cooler climes, these acrobatic fighters have been a consistent thrill, providing many anglers with the rush of a lifetime. Our captains have employed kite fishing with a master's touch, luring sailfish to the surface and into the hands of exuberant anglers. Incidentally, this method has also tempted imposing trophy sharks, with hammerheads, tigers, and makos making appearances that have sent reels screaming and pulses racing. **Mahi-mahi Mania:** Offshore pursuits have been fruitful for those targeting mahi-mahi. Most have returned successful, hoisting fish within the 3 to 7-pound bracket, although there have been tales of larger specimens. These vibrant battlers have been prowling waters from 400 to 1000 feet, where they've struck baits with the tenacity for which they're celebrated. **Tuna and Wahoo Whispers:** Blackfin tunas have graced us with their presence, albeit playing hard to get. Intermixed in the catch, wahoo has been the occasional delight – their searing speed and razor bite adding a layer of excitement to any fishing narrative. **Reef Fishing Rundown:** While the reef scene has been sluggish at times, especially for trolling enthusiasts, the perseverance of our crews has paid dividends. Wahoo have made periodic dashes across our spreads, while small tunas and respectable king mackerel have kept the action steady. **Wreck Fishing Rewards:** For those who've fancied their chances closer to the seabed, the shipwrecks have served up a mixed bag. Large snappers still lurk in the shadows, joined by formidable amberjacks and the visually delightful vermilion snappers. It's been a case of 'drop and reel' for those hitting these honey holes. **Looking Ahead:** With Mother Nature promising a stretch of sterling weather, and the holiday spirit embracing Fort Lauderdale, there couldn't be a more divine time for a family fishing charter. Whether you're a local or planning a yuletide vacation, the silver lining is clear – December's waters are bustling with life, and 'Marlin My Darlin’ charters are at the ready to create memories that will sparkle long after the holiday lights dim. Book your adventure and let's cast lines into the bright horizon of fishing festivities!

The past few weeks have proven to be exciting times for fishing enthusiasts in South Florida. Despite windy weather and choppy seas, our charter fishing has been outstandingly fruitful. Why? Because these conditions usually lure in the larger fish. It's been a red-hot period for Sailfish enthusiasts who have found a productive bite along the reef ranging from 80 to 200 feet. Kite fishing is unmistakably our preferred method for tackling these challenging species, yielding impressive results. Those angling for Sailfish can also expect a good bycatch of mahi-mahi and blackfin tuna. Interestingly, our waters have also been frequented by a few large trophy sharks, namely robust bull sharks and elusive hammerheads. These unexpected visitors up the thrill factor, reinforcing that we're in the thick of trophy season. On the flip side, offshore mahi-mahi fishing has been slow, with most catches being reported along the reef through either live bait or trolling methods. Blackfin tuna has been showing up more regularly in the late afternoons, with catches typically weighing between 3 to 10 pounds. This bounty has ensured that our charter guests have plenty of opportunities to battle with larger game fish. All in all, this season's fishing report beams with excitement and promises even more action as we plunge further into the trophy season. Grab your gear and join us in the hunt for the 'Big One’!
