Jan 28, 2025 Fort Lauderdale
Cooler months in South Florida, while everyone else in the country freezes their tail off. We in South Florida get the opportunity to continue to go fishing, some recent cold fronts have turned the sailfish on, along with other species including, shark fishing, king fishing, and snapper fishing. Sailfishing in january is often peak season for sailfishing in warmer waters. Look for them in deeper offshore waters, commonly around structure like reefs or drop-offs. Trolling with bointa strips or using live bait like goggle eyes, pilchards, or cigar minows can be effective. Shark Fishing-This time of year can yield great shark fishing opportunities, especially for species like bullsharks, sandbar sharls, tiger sharka and hammerhead sharks. They can be found nearshore or offshore. Chumming the waters with cut bait can attract sharks to your fishing spot. Goliath Grouper- while they can be targeted year-round, . Itโ€™s essential to look for specific spots where they're known to hang out, often around reefs or wrecks. We typlically hook golaith groupers while taegting sharks, and they are very aggressive. King Fishing-King mackerel are usually active in the winter months. They often gather near structures such as wrecks and reefs. Trolling with live bait or artificial lures can lead to successful catches. Snapper Fishing-Snapper, particularly species like red snapper, can be caught in deeper waters during January. They tend to be plentiful around reefs and rocky bottoms. Using squid or fish fillets as bait typically works well. Make sure to prepare for colder weather when heading out. If you have any specific interests or need tips on techniques, feel free to ask!

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 !
