We are seeing a pretty good mix of species of fish offshore on our Ft. Lauderdale fishing charters. We are getting a number of calls from anglers concerned by the presence of red tide organisms here in southeast Florida. Fortunately this circumstance is not affecting our catches as we are fishing areas well offshore of the affected areas, and our catches remain good. The areas compromised are very near the shore, probably as a result of the persistent presence of a good onshore breeze pressing the organisms up to the shore area. The appearance of the red tide organism here off of southeast Florida is thankfully very unusual. We have a lot more current here than on the Gulf side of Florida and many “experts” feel that this is one of the major reasons why we can typically enjoy clean water when the Gulf, beautiful as it is, has serious and persisting problems. The presence of the red tide here in our area has been categorized as “moderate” by the FWC, the agency in charge of monitoring the Florida coast. Here's to more wind, more current and a diminishing presence of the unwanted visitor. The onshore breeze we mentioned has brought more Mahi-Mahi ( aka Dorado) into our fishing areas and some are pushed up almost to the reef line in addition to being scattered deeper. These fish are on the move and aggressive. Trolled baits get their attention and we have seen them in the kite spread and the live baits fished there. Kings continue to be available many days and as usual most of that activity takes place in water less than 200 feet deep. The Bonito continue to be here and are in those same depths. A slight uptick in the Sailfish activity but single fish when you get a chance at them. So we are relieved that the tainted water, as unpleasant as it is, remains up near the beaches and our deep sea fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale are not being adversely affected. Please enjoy the photos of anglers and their catches who have joined us here on charters aboard the Marln My Darlin. Mostly sunny skies with few showers and slightly cooler days. See you offshore on the rip. Captains Rick, Matt and Tommy K and deck tech crewmen JJ and Cameron.

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

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’!
