January 20222 In January we have been targeting Sailfish and Swordfish. We Have normally been sticking to the kite fishing methods for the Sailfish. Getting Hooked Up on Goggle Eyes, Pilchards, Threadfin Herring, and ballyhoos. Using The Kite to target fish is the most exciting tactic of all. Watching your baitfish on the surface while looking for s large Pelagic Game fish stalking its Prey. Sometimes the fish even jump1-20 ft in the water to catch its prey. The main fish that we are targeting is Sailfish, but no the only fish we can catch while fishing for these beauties. The fish that we catch while targeting sailfish can be – King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo and Sharks. There is no telling what will bite the hook while kite fishing. Perfect example a few years ago while kite fishing in Fort Lauderdale on a local Shipwreck. I hooked and landed a 50lb Swordfish, which is extremely rare and unheard of in these waters. Like I always say-“if its going to happen, Its going to happen out there. Speaking of Swordfish December and January have been the most productive month that I have been in the past decade. Friends and Other fisherman catching above average fish on the daily basis. The tactics that we normally use is Daytime Sword fishing, using electric reels to drop to the bottom in 1650ft-1900ft of water. We normally use 10-12lbs of lead to hit the bottom, using the electric reels are a must when fishing this deep with this much lead, you also can not forget the 3.5 kts of current that is in the gulf stream as well. Some people think that this fishery is doing so well because of El Ninyo, but I am just going to say that it has been great season. The second way we have been targeting the Swordfish is Nighttime Sword fishing. We tend to target these fish in about 1000Ft-1350ft of water, when the sun goes down these fish tend to gravitate towards the surface. Fishing in the **hidden content**ft range of depth to target these Swords. I also like to light up the water to target these guys. I like to use glow sticks, LP lights, Strobe lights and blinkers. Experimenting with these lights can be half the fun and they work., trust me. (no light, no bite) and old famous captain once told me while fishing for the Gladiator of the sea at night.

Good Hit Fort Lauderdale’s Light Tackle boats. We have waited all year for The winter fishery. This is when the bait piles up and the fish make a residence here in Fort Lauderdale. The fun fishing starts around December 1st and goes on until May 1st. We pride ourselves on this dominate fishing period and have a blast doing it. Also if you are looking to push your luck, the Swordfishing is a huge success in the colder months of the year. The colder air pushes swordfish south for the big run at night or during the day. Swordfish range from 50lbs-300lbs and are the gladiator of the seas. These Fish are extremely unpredictable. Our tackle of choice is light tackle spinning rods, 20lb line and all circle hooks.I Most of the fishing we do is sight fishing, see your fish before you hook it.

Mahi Madness in Fort Lauderdale, the summer slowly begins to end. But the Mahi Mahi Fishing is still in Full Force. We have been catching these beauty’s from **hidden content**ft of water, with our favorite bait being live pilchards. Our favorite outfit would have to be a light tackle spinning rod for Mahi, 12-20lb test. We have been sight fishing for the Dolphin, looking for birds, debris, and weed lines. The morning has been best for the Mahi, and we have noticed the bigger fish come later in the season. We are also excited for Sailfish Season which is right around the corner. October - February, very excited for this season. Contact us if you have any questions about Fishing Fort Lauderdale, we would be happy to answer them. Captain Mike Good Hit Sportfishing

The Sail fishing has got off to a great start, we have been Seeing Sailfish since September 1st. We normally fish for Sails by kitefishing and dragging live baits when we do not have wind. On Good Hit Sportfishing we are live bait specialist, using live bait 90% of the time. We also like to use light tackle to target these fish, either 20lb spinner or 20lb conventional outfit. On our boats we use top of the line equipment, to make sure we do not have equipment failure. Having great equipment is a huge part of the battle when it comes to light tackle fishing. On October 4 th 2019, We hooked four sailfish at the same time. Landing 3 of the 4 sailfish with only one angler, he sure had his hands full with all these sailfish. His buddy’s were really kicking theirselves for not coming on that day! Alantic Sailfish are the most popular gamefish our customers like to target off of Fort Lauderdale. We target these fish only one mile off of the beach in Fort Laudersale. While winter approaches the more Sailfish we see, having the best number in November . We have been having the best luck with our 3/4 day fishing charter, leaving an hour earlier than the other boats and coming in an hour later than the other groups. Sometimes that extra hour in the morning really makes the difference. If you have any questions about Sail Fishing, message me at anytime. I would be happy to answer and questions about our fishery. I hope you guys enjoyed my post. Captain Mike, Good Hit Sportfishing
