In the world of South Florida charter fishing, there is a common misconception that you have to run for hours or book an all-day excursion to find "the big one." This past week, the crew at Good Hit Sport Fishing proved once again that Fort Lauderdale’s unique geography—where the Gulf Stream hugs the coast—offers world-class opportunities just minutes from the inlet. The Bottom-Dweller: A Record-Class Cubera The week kicked off with a 4-hour wreck trip that turned into a heavyweight wrestling match. Targeting the deep structures that dot our coastline, the team hooked into a massive Cubera Snapper. Known as the "heavyweights of the reef," Cuberas are notoriously difficult to land due to their power and tendency to dive into sharp wreckage. This particular fish was a true specimen, showing off the characteristic copper scales and formidable teeth that make them a "bucket-list" catch for any serious angler. Successfully bringing a fish of this caliber to the boat on a half-day trip requires precision boat handling and heavy-duty gear. Surface Aerobatics: The White Marlin The diversity of our local waters was on full display just days later. On a separate 4-hour morning charter, the focus shifted from the bottom to the surface. While trolling the blue water edge, the team was met with the high-speed strike of a White Marlin. The Marlin put on a classic display of "greyhounding," leaping clear of the water and testing the angler’s patience. These billfish are a prized catch in the sportfishing community, and seeing one within sight of the shoreline is a reminder of why Fort Lauderdale remains a premier fishing destination. After a successful battle, the fish was safely released to continue its migration. A Thriving Local Bite Between the brute strength of the Cubera and the elegance of the White Marlin, the message is clear: the bite is on. With the current conditions bringing baitfish close to the reef, the window for trophy catches is wide open. Good Hit Sport Fishing continues to run daily 4, 6, and 8-hour charters out of Fort Lauderdale, catering to everyone from first-timers to seasoned pros looking for their next big story.

What an absolutely epic day on the water with Good Hit Sport Fishing! It started bizarrely: a massive swarm of calico crabs drifted past, which our clients quickly scooped into the live well—a "crab bonanza" ready for action. Then, things got spooky. We heard a loud sloshing and churning, thinking it was a school of tarpon. As the commotion came into casting range, the truth hit us like a tidal wave: It was a huge school of Permit, feeding in a surface frenzy! In a flash, we tossed our freshly caught calico crabs into the frothing water. The instant they hit the surface, we were HOOKED UP! The first fish was a 25lb Permit, leading a client on a grueling, 20-minute battle. We tagged and released that beauty, and immediately hooked and landed another one. An unbelievable few minutes of fishing. That is how you turn a regular October trip into an unforgettable adventure!

The crew at Good Hit Sport Fishing had a truly exceptional trip off the coast of Dania Beach, Florida. The conditions were perfect, and the fish were biting, leading to a day filled with incredible and rare catches. The biggest highlight was the appearance of some incredibly rare Blue Mahi Mahi. These gorgeous fish are a true bucket-list catch for any angler, and we were thrilled to see them come over the rail. Their electric blue color was absolutely breathtaking. The action didn't stop there. We also tangled with some lightning-fast Wahoo. These powerful and streamlined predators put up a blistering fight, making for some heart-pounding moments. Closer to the reefs, a massive Goliath Grouper was reeled in. This giant showcased its immense strength before being safely released, as is the law with this protected species. Finally, the day was topped off with a great haul of Kingfish. These silver speedsters provided plenty of rod-bending action and were a blast to catch. It was a day full of unforgettable moments and trophy-level catches. If you're ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime, book with Good Hit Sport Fishing.
