Trip Summary

Fort Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Report: May Highlights & June Forecast May was an incredible month aboard the Hooked Up Sport Fishing off the coast of South Florida! Charter fishing has been outstanding, with an abundance of black fin tuna, sailfish, and a great start to the grouper season. While we didn’t snap too many grouper photos, we did land a gorgeous yellow edge grouper! The weather was fantastic, though the Sargasso weed gave us a few mixed days—but we adapted and kept the bites coming. As we roll into June, we’re gearing up for a big surge of mahi-mahi! With an abundance of Sargasso weed this year, it’s looking like prime time for these mahi runs. Don’t miss out—book your charter now and join us for an unforgettable fishing adventure.

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report — Fall Fishing Is Back! Fall is finally here in South Florida, and the fishing is turning on! After a long, tough summer dealing with some of the worst Sargasso seaweed we’ve seen in years, the water is finally clearing up. That means we can get back to doing what we love — trolling the offshore waters of Fort Lauderdale without fighting seaweed all day long! The mahi fishing is producing, and we’re also starting to see some wahoo showing up offshore. The trolling conditions are improving every day, and it’s great to finally have clean water and hungry fish working together. The bottom fishing is also starting to come alive. We’re seeing some nice mutton snapper, yellowtail snapper, and vermilion snapper on the reefs and deeper structure. The bigger kingfish are beginning to show up as well, along with some hard-fighting bonito. It’s been a challenging summer for Fort Lauderdale offshore fishing, but that’s behind us now. The Sargasso weed is finally moving out, the weather is beautiful, and the fish are biting! Deep-Sea Fishing in Fort Lauderdale Is Back! If you’ve been waiting for the fall fishing season, now is the time to get offshore and go fishing! Come fish with Captain Taco and Hooked Up Sport Fishing Team out of Fort Lauderdale. Whether you’re looking for mahi, wahoo, kingfish, snapper, bonito, or a great day of deep-sea fishing, we’re ready to get you out there and have some fun. Come on — let’s go fishing!
