Nice warm days with continued low wind situations have combined to make for pleasant fishing in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas of Miami and Pompano Beach. Lots of sun and no rain here for several days now. 86 to 87 degrees forecast as the high for Wednesday. We continue on a pace for possibly the warmest Winter ever recorded. Compare that with the 18 to 24 inches of snow now in the Northeast and it seems like another solar system. I personally would like to see some cool to cold air, but the folks spending the big bucks to stay here for awhile surely would beg to differ. Anyway, warm to hot is the forecast for the rest of the week here. Shorts, T shirt and some sunscreen. Still finding those over sized Kingfish willing to take a live Bonito fished as bait. These fish are ranging from 60 feet of water on out to 150, with 85 to 100 feet near the third offshore reef line being a good depth. Some smaller Kings too but the big ones taking the live baits, especially as we wind down off this big moon. The football sized Blackfin Tuna continue to pass through our area just outside of that same third reef line. Good fun on lighter tackle. A few more Mahi-Mahi have shown up in our Ft. Lauderdale fishing areas offshore but they remain smallish, but most are of legal 'keeper” size, which is a very generous 20 inch fork length. Small bunches of Mahi-Mahi chasing flying fish and occasionally picking through the weed for looking for easier to catch smaller fish. Small baits are the best presentation here as they by far draw the most bites and have the best hook up ratio on those bites. We have been hammering our bottom spots lately with mixed results. A good catch day is followed up by a weak one. Tiles, Vermies and Porkies. There are some fat Amberjacks as pictured on the deep wrecks. Some A.J. on the inside wrecks as well, but typically a bit smaller. Always fun when we can find them, regardless of size. Sailfishing remains weak here but there is better news for Swordfish out in the Gulfstream. We will be taking aim @ them shortly with one of our regulars and his son so wish us good fishing and we'll see you offshore. Tight lines and good fishing from all of us aboard the Marlin My Darlin

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
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’!
