Sorry guys been busy fishing everyday havenโ€™t been able to sit down and do a report. We been fishing deeper waters and catching some tunas on top while trolling. Bigger ones been eating live bait 200-300ft. Couple sailfish around they really havenโ€™t shown up in numbers mayb with colder weather they will start to show up. Bottom fishing for snapper has been successful, grouper season is closed till May 1st so catch and release only. Give us a shout if your in Fort Lauderdale letโ€™s get you on some fish. Family kid friendly dogs are also welcomed. Tight lines

Itโ€™s not always easy some days the fish just donโ€™t want to bite. Started the morning with trolling planers for wahoo tuna mahi king fish and sailfish. We tried a couple bottom spots that produced some snappers and porgy. On the way home we landed some tunas all 5 lines when off at once and it was on. Turned into a successful day just got to be patient and eventually something works out.
