We're getting into the snappers really good this month. Tons of yelloweye snappers, which I haven't seen hardly any of in the past few years are biting. It's a great sign of improving snapper fishing and I love it because they are so good eating. Plenty of other bottom fish species such as grouper, grunts, porgies and triggerfish are biting. Some throw backs but a lot of keepers too. We've also managed to catch a few really nice cobia this week. Cobia are an elusive fish that we catch on the reef and they get big. They tend to follow sea turtles, big sharks, whales and other big creatures. They are great eating and they are always a crowd pleaser because they are so strong and fight so well. Other bigger fish that we catch sporadically this month are kingfish, blackfin tuna and mahi-mahi. You never know what you might catch this week, there's a lot going on out there. Good luck to everyone on our fishing trips this month. I'll sea ya on the water. Capt. Andy Roydhouse

Great yellowtail snapper bite this week on our night anchor trips. This is our trip that departs at 7:30pm. It's been our best producing trip this month with a pretty steady yellowtail and mangrove snapper bite. Action has been pretty decent for most of our trips with the slow trip being the exception, not the norm like it was last month. Fishing usually improves this month as we get into the later spring season and into the summer season. Look for the best fishing to be on the afternoon and night trips in the near future and for the rest of the summer. Good luck out there everyone. Capt. Andy Roydhouse

We're starting to get into our best drift fishing season of the year. Technically it is May through August, but we start doing better and better as we get into late March. Mutton snappers are showing up for us and not all of them have been throw back. A few nice ones here and there are biting. Groupers are biting like mad of course. They know when they aren't in season. Lots of other small bottom fish like lane snappers, mangroves, grunts, porgies and triggers are biting too. If you want to fish for kingfish, you have a decent shot of hitting one. Good luck to everyone fishing this week. I'll sea ya on the water. Capt. Andy Roydhouse

The snapper fishing is beginning to improve immensely. It's much better than it was a week ago and more consistent too. Each day it's getting a little bit better. Deepwater snappers such as vermillions are biting on chicken rigs. And shallow water snappers such as yellowtails, mangroves and mutton snappers are biting better too. They are biting on chunks of squid and sardines in 40-90ft of water. Snapper fishing generally gets pretty good for us in March and it continues all the way through the summer months. We're ready for snapper season. Let's go fishing! Capt. Andy Roydhouse

We're getting a good amount of snappers on our drift fishing trips this week. Lots of yellowtails, mangroves, muttons and lane snappers are biting out there. Our best bite lately is north of the inlet in 40-60ft of water, just on the inside edge of the reef. We're getting the best action on the afternoon and night trips, but morning is holding it's own too. Most of our catches lately have been snappers, but we have been catching some other species too such as grouper, kingfish and mahi-mahi. November and December are generally good months for action when fishing in Fort Lauderdale. Good luck to everyone fishing this week. I'll sea ya on the water. Capt. Andy Roydhouse

Good action on our deep sea fishing trips this week. We're doing great on yellowtail and mangrove snappers. These aren't the biggest fish in the ocean, but they are fun to catch and they are great eating. We're getting into them in around 60ft of water, drifting over the second reef. Along with the yellowtails and mangroves is a nice mix of other bottom species such as grunts, porgies, triggerfish, jacks and sometimes even groupers, which can get decent size. Another good size fish that bites on these trips sometimes is the mutton snapper. Mutton snapper are very smart and it takes an adept fisherman to entice one of these guys to bite. Night fishing is also very good this time of year. Lots of red snapper action and it's a pleasure to fish at night because it is so much cooler out on the water. The daytime trips can be hot. Good thing our boat has air conditioning. Sharks are also hitting at night on some trips. Some fishermen love 'em, some fishermen hate 'em. They are a lot of fun to catch, you just can't eat them. Good luck to everyone fishing this week. I'll sea ya on the water. Capt. Andy Roydhouse
