Tuna and Sailfish on fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale, and it' true, but don't expect to see fish such as those every day as it continues to be erratic fishing offshore. Captain Matt just called and happily reported a nice Sail catch and release after a 10 minute fight that took a trolled bait in 85 feet of water just above our inlet. That fish is a good fish producing big smiles as others have this week, but chances are as the day continues it is going to be a serious hunt and search tin an effort to keep them coming. Late in the day has been the best for the Blackfin Tuna as they have become much more active on and near the surface beginning around 3:30 to 4 PM. Up until then they majority of them seem to prefer to hang out down 250 to 300 feet below the surface and have lock jaw, awaiting the sinking sun. When they do pop up they generally bite well. Sailfish have been a mix of strikes from both the live baits and trolled baits with those maddening lulls in between bites either presentation you choose. A few Bonito filling in some of the gaps in the action with an occasional Mahi-Mahi but we all would certainly like to see much more activity. Hammer Head Sharks continue to somewhat oddly regularly show in the live bait spreads regardless of the depth. Many inside of 100 feet and then others in the deeper water beyond the reefs. They are a 12 months of the year fish here with most expected in a couple of months, not so many this early in the year. So we will continue to mix it up trying to draw bites as it would be much easier to just fire out there and put the live baits out as in a typical February, but the erratic fishing continues. Good fish to be had, but certainly some bumps in the road. And the weather? 84 today with an almost cloudless sky and very slight winds. Low 80s predicted through the entire weekend. Postcard perfect weather day for sure. Saw two separate pairs of Manatees this afternoon, both pairs swimming north in the Intracoastal Waterway, which is be an almost straight shot out of and beyond south Florida. Wondering if our winter is essentially over if these Southern Groundhogs are heading up the line.

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’!
