November Fishing at its finest
November Fishing at its finest
Nov 22, 2024 Fort Lauderdale
Holiday season is here, and November fishing has not disappointed. We have been running into nice sizes Mahis, Sailfish, Kingfish, Snapper and Sharks. The humidity has finally lowered, which starts the arrival of different species of Pelagic fish in the local areas of Fort Lauderdale. Our two favorite fish we like to target are Mahi Mahi and Sailfish, which right now is prime time. Our most productive tactics have been Kite fishing, and slowly pulling live bait. It all depends on the current days condition, but recently has been pretty consistent. We like to use 20lb test spinners with 7โ€™ rods for Pulling Live Bait. For Kite Fishing we use 20lb line with 6โ€™ rods, both considered light tackle. In South Florida, we are thrilled to finally get some cooler weather. This always helps provide the fish to become active. Another great aspect of Fall weather is the fronts bring west winds which provides calm waters and good fishing. One day in November we decided to go Kite Fishing, it was a slower day on a Monday. In the last hour of the charter we didnโ€™t have a really good bites. After we were starting to lose fate, we for a Spinner Flat line bite. After a few minutes, we figured out it was a decent sized Mahi Mahi, we saw the Fish Jumped and announced the species. We hooked this fish in 100โ€™ of water, with minutes to spare. We then noticed many of other nice sized Mahis, swimming with this one. As fast as Captain Pete and Me could grab a bait, we were hooked up. At once point we have 5 Mahis on the lines. Two on the kite, and 3 on spinning rods. It was absolute chaos, but we kept it under control. We ended up with 8 nice Gaffer Mahi Mahis to end the day. Hours of no bites, then we really set the tone. It goes to show, you never know whatโ€™s going to happen out there. Also exciting news for Good Hit 2.0, we are proud to announce that she got a new paint job, and she looks beautiful. It actually feels like a different boat, every square inch of the boat got attention. Wait till you see it !

Fort Lauderdale Fall Frenzy: A Sight Fis
Fort Lauderdale Fall Frenzy: A Sight Fis
Sep 15, 2024 Fort Lauderdale
Get ready to bend your rod! Fall in Fort Lauderdale is a sight fishing angler's dream. As the sweltering summer heat subsides, the cool fronts roll in, bringing with them a surge of marine life. The annual mullet run is a major highlight, attracting a diverse array of predators like spinner sharks, mahi-mahi, sailfish, and more. Imagine the thrill of watching these apex predators breaching the surface, their fins slicing through the water as they chase schools of baitfish. It's like a real-life National Geographic documentary, with all the action happening right in front of you. Light tackle sight fishing is the name of the game, offering an unparalleled experience for anglers of all skill levels. And let's not forget about the elusive wahoo! During full moon periods, these fast-swimming, toothy predators can be found trolling at higher speeds. Planner fishing is a proven method for targeting these striped beauties. Just be careful when landing them โ€“ their sharp teeth can give you a nasty surprise! So, what are you waiting for? Fall in Fort Lauderdale is the perfect time to experience the thrill of offshore fishing. Book your charter today and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime.

End of July- Tiger Shark and Cobia
End of July- Tiger Shark and Cobia
Sep 8, 2024 Fort Lauderdale
Summer fishing in South florida has been a great one, catching king fish, snapper, Mahi and bointa regularly. Last week we had a client that wanted to target Bigger Sharks on his Tour, so thats what we did. While targeting sharks, we hooked into a 9โ€™ Tiger Shark, when the shark was coming up to the surface we noticed a few other fish Swimming with the Shark- COBIA. This is not a normal thing for this area, but with theses Cobia, there was one that was much larger than the others. This the fish that we went after. Not expecting this fish; we scrambled boatside for a bit before we could get a bait to him. after a few minutes of chaos we finally got a bait to him, and he ate it instantly. Now we have a tiger shark on the line and a large cobia, what an adventure. We eventually ended up landing both, the tiger and the cobia! Goes to show, you never know whats going to happen out there in the ocean! I hope you like my report- Captain Mike

September Action at Good Hit
September Action at Good Hit
Sep 8, 2024 Fort Lauderdale
In September, we have been having some great late summer fishing. We were catching a variety of different fish, trolling, kite fishing, and wreck fishing. Recently, there were lots of barracudas on the 2nd and 3rd reefs. The kingfish have been biting on the troll and with live bait on the kite. My bait of choice has been Ballyhoo and Goggle Eye. We have seen more and more Goliath Grouper than ever before on the shipwrecks; even a few local divers confirmed the regional increase in population. Which is fun for anglers because, they put up a great fight and are stricktly catch and release. The Sailfish and Mahi will soon push towards the shallower reefs chasing ballyhoo and mullet bait schools. For some fishermen like myself, later summer and fall are the absolute best times of year to fish in South Florida. Seeing the Sailfish and Mahi chase bait on the surface is something you will never forget. I hope you guys enjoy my September post. See you in the fall. Captain Mike- Good Hit Sportfishing

Sweet Summertime in South Florida
Sweet Summertime in South Florida
Jul 1, 2024 Fort Lauderdale
The Mahi Mahi and Kingfish have moved into South Florida. We are catching Dolphin offshore, and Kingfish on the reef. Trolling has been the most productive style of fishing, when we find the Mahi we normally cast live baits to them on light tackle. The size has been ranging to 5-10lbs with a few nicer fish mixed in. Ballyhoo is the best bait for trolling for Mahi and live bait we preffer is pilchards for summer. The larger sharks have also been around the ship wrecks, we caufht this gaint hammerhead on a kingfish, which we fought for 1 hour on heavy tackle. You cab say its a great time of uear to go fishing. Captain Mike with Good Hit Sportfishing.
