Sailfish and mahi!
Sailfish and mahi!
Nov 9, 2025 Fort Lauderdale
Plenty of action on some of everyone's favorites out there. Small schools of mahi move close to the reef this time of year and sailfish as well. We target them with live baits and light tackle for a great feel and a lot of fun!

The mahi bite has been great on most days the weather allows the trip offshore. If you want to catch mahi make sure to book a 6hr trip because there is a good bit of travel offshore. Also king mackerel, tuna, and bonitos on the reef. Bottom fishing for snapper and more has been hot as well.
