Good fishing Day and Night

Hey there, Capt. Vinnie here this week we had some pretty good fishing although the winds were strong and the ocean was rough if you stuck it out it payed off nicely. Early in the week we had some very strong winds making the seas around 4-6 feet out there although it was rough that type of weather makes for pretty good fishing. The name of the game this week was trolling normally in the winter months we would be doing a lot of kite fishing in those type of conditions but bait is hard to come by as the summer approaches. Trolling from 200-400 feet seemed to be where all the action was this week. We were just a few days before the full moon which is usually a good indication for wahoo and that it was. We landed a few nice wahoo this week while trolling on our deep lines. Other then wahoo we seen a good amount of blackfin tuna this week while trolling, majority of our bites on those were on surface baits but fishing small lures like 2 inches long. Most of the tuna we been catching lately have had very small squids and fish in there stomachs so it makes the best sense to use something for bait similar to what we are seeing in there bellies. Majority of the tuna have been around 5-7lbs with a few as big as 15lbs. Other then wahoo and blackfin tuna we saw a few mahi mahi this week and i believe that is due to the heavy winds which in turn brought them in. It is a little bit early in the season for mahi right now which is why we haven't been getting a lot of numbers more just picking at them but any keeper mahi is a good mahi. Last but not least later in the week when the winds calmed down we seen a nice little flurry of kingfish while trolling the reefs edge. Majority of the bites have been on our deep lines but nice to see a good variety of fish biting. This week please take a second to take a look at some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram **hidden content** for daily fishing content. Coming up here the full moon is going to be in full force for a few days and i do believe that things will slow up for a little bit but after it passes things should be back in full force again. As for fishing charters we have plenty of available dates open for bookings and summer time is one of my favorite times to fish, usually calm winds and seas and good fishing so if your heading down to South Florida and looking to get out deep sea fishing we would love to show you a great time on the water.... more later...

Hey there, Capt. Vinnie here with another great deep sea fishing report for you guys, but first id like to take a second and wish everyone a happy Memorial Day. Now time for the fishing, so for this week it has been a some what windy week here in south Florida but i believe this is the weather we needed to get the fishing back to where it was. Earlier in the week we had a good catch of mahi mahi offshore that were caught on scattered weed lines, but as it got later in the week they seem to have been hard to come by in numbers, the only mahi we are seeing right now are just solo fish or ones and twos. The size has been excellent with most mahi around 5-8lbs and a few larger in the mix. I would imagine we would start to see some more mahi action as we get closer towards the summer. Next species that was good this week was kingfish. This year has been a tricky one on kingfish some days there here and other days they have been hard to come by, but this week we were picking at them the whole week. Majority of our bites have been shallow or just on the edge of the reef in depths around 100 feet or so. All of our kingfish bites have been coming on our down lines or lines under the surface. Blue and white sea witches have been our go to color this week because there has been a surplus of flying fish in the area and that color combination matches them the best. The kingfish have been nice sized average fish close to 10lbs. Next on the list this week is blackfin tuna, which have been very prevalent anyhwere from 300-180 feet of water and have been biting surface and below surface baits. For some reason this week morning trips have been good but afternoons have been better for tuna, which probably has to do with the tides. They have been mixed sized anywhere from 5-15lbs with a few larger fish too. This week please take a minute to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram **hidden content** for daily fishing content. All in all this week the fishing has improved from what it was, even though it has been a little rough with the heavy winds we have been having some great catches. It looks like for the week coming up that the wind is going to settle down a bit and the ocean will be calmer then it has been, should make for some more great fishing. If your thinking about heading down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing now is a great time to get out while the fishing is hot. Hope to see you soon and show you a great day on the water... more later... Capt. Vinnie

Hey there, Capt. Vinnie here from the command center. Its been another great week of deep sea fishing here in Fort Lauderdale. I have a great report this week starting of with tuna. We have been having some really nice catches of blackfin tuna while trolling just on the drop off. This week we did manage to catch a blackfin tuna that was 31lbs (pictured) which is the biggest one caught aboard to YB Normal. The blackfin tuna bite right now has been the best in the afternoon time with bigger fish being caught on live bait, while trolling produces all sizes. Anywhere from 200-350 feet has been the best depths. Other then tuna this week we had a decent showing of mahi mahi offshore trolling. Some of the mahi where very nice sized around 10lbs give or take. Looking for birds has always been the ticket when mahi fishing although there has been a good amount of seaweed out there and that is a good place to start. As we get closer to the summer months i believe the mahi fishing will only get better from here. Moving inshore, earlier in the week we had a great kingfish bite. When the water is green in color that seems to be when they bite the best. When the water is blue they are hard to find. Mixed in with the kingfish has been some jumbo bonitos starting to show up although they are not good eating they are the most important thing to our deep sea fishing charters. They give us fresh bait which in return helps you catch more fish. Also on the reef this week we did see a few sailfish which is always great to catch, they are a lot more prevalent in the winter months but we do catch them year round. Catching a sailfish is always a great way to put the icing on the cake as they say to any sport fishing charter. This week please be sure to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught on our deep sea fishing charters and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like facebook and instagram **hidden content** for daily fishing content. Coming up for next week looks to be good weather and hopefully keeping the them of the last few weeks with great fishing. If your thinking about heading down to do some deep sea fishing with us we have a good amount of availability for the rest of the month of May and would love to have you out fishing with us and show you a great time on the water... more later Capt.
