Описание тура

Once again we are experiencing some very nice weather. Almost still most mornings and then as the heat index comes up, and it comes up, a good easterly breeze takes the edge off. This time of year here has warmer air rising up off the land in the everglades to the west of us and when that warmer air meets the cooler air somewhere up in those clouds( then white), it turns grey and often black and hello rain. Better news is that the majority of that rain remains to the west of the ocean many days. “Many days”, not all days, welcome to May in Florida. Fishing remains pretty consistent as is typical for May. Kings inside with often a healthy number of the Bonito competing for the bait. Chance for a Sailfish, Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna along and just off the edge. Again only scattered Mahi. Tilefish, Snappers and Jacks deep when the current is light. And sharks when the current runs. We have included some photos of recent anglers who fished with us aboard Marlin my Darlin that had the opportunity the catch some of the Hammerhead Sharks that are migrating through our area and present offshore on many Fort Lauderdale fishing charters. Good fish and good fun. We tease a number of these fish into taking a bait right beside the boat as we have mentioned before and this is a great show with a large fish often very aggressively focused on what he or she perceives as the next meal. And it is the next meal not the last meal. Catch and release of all Hammerheads is now law, absolutely not allowed to remove them from the water either. I don't think that those newer laws dampened the spirits appreciably as be sure to notice the faces of the anglers as well as the sharks. Fellow in the lead photo with this report is a professional fishing guide in Canada with a lot of fish under his belt. Sharks all year here in Florida, but the peak for these is right now. As we stated above various fun species continue to be available offshore here, but if you wish good odds at bending the rod on a sizable fish that has some pretty good horsepower to go along with the size now is the time to but that smile in place. See you on the rip.

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!

Outstanding South Florida Charter Fishin
Октябрь 25, 2023
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’!
