Fresh Fort Lauderdale Fishing Reports

Awesome Fishing

Caleb and his Grandfather Charles came out and had a major multi species fishing day in the glades. They caught largemouth bass, peacock bass, tiger oscars, mayan cichlids, jaguar cichlids, sun bass and garfish. Tons of fish caught and lots of fun had. The bite is on right now and it gets better and better over the next few months. Book a trip today and experience what Everglades fishing is all about.

Fishing Booker Appreciation Month My fellow anglers in show of appreciation for all the help Fishing Booker has done for us over the years for the month of March we are offering all anglers that book with Hooked Up III get free live baits. This is the time of the year that our much sought after sailfish come by the coast of Fort Lauderdale and to catch sailfish the best way is with live bait and these baits (goggle eyes) only feed at night so as you can imagine after fishing all day us captains don’t have time to stay up all night to catch them. So we usually have to buy them and they are not cheep they can cost up $120.00 for a dozen that’s right 12. But for the month of March they are on me. So FREE LIVE BAITS and with only a 6 min ride till we are in the ocean this better chances combined with very little travel time this much better odds for you to catch 1 or more of these beautiful fish!! EVEN IF YOU BOOK A TRIP FOR LATER IN THE YEAR RESEVE HOOKED UP II BY THE END OF MARCH THIS GREAT OFFER STILL STANDS!!! Captain Taco

South Florida has finally seen the push of SAILFISH that we've been waiting for! As stated in previous reports, cold fronts were needed to push the fish further along their journey. With a few additional cold spells, we started to see increased numbers. The water temperature hardly changes through the cold front but it's more about air pressure changes. The first day of a cold front usually begins with high dew point and rain which clears into bright blue and clear skies. Once the front made it's way through we begin to see the prevailing easterly winds come back. When the happens, it's madness. Recent tournament boats have seen double digit numbers from fort Pierce, FL down to the upper keys! Now that's a dream for a charter Captain but it can happen! Mahi mahi have joined in as well and are starting to show the signs for a healthy March/april. Join soon to catch a SAILFISH of your very own and a mahi for dinner!

The peacock bass are coming back strong from the cold front that we had and Daniel and his son Caleb caught a bunch of em. They also caught just about every other species of fish in the glades making this an incredible day of fishing. Caleb had some nice garfish catches as well as some huge tiger oscars. He rounded out the day with some peacock and largemouth bass and unfortunately lost a huge bass at the boat that got caught up in the lilly pads. His dad Daniel had some good size largemouth and peacock bass as well as a bunch of nice size tiger oscars as well. The bite is awesome right now in the glades and it gets better as it warms up. March and April are definitely prime times to fish the glades. Trips fill up fast so book today.

Fishing is getting better and better, we had a nice cold front pushing a lot of fish through. We have had some of our best fishing using live bait for Sailfish, kingfish, and there has also been some mahi pushing through with the cold front. Sailfish bite has been hot the past week.
