Trip Summary

March 11 Today we had a ball deep-sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale with Robert, Jesse and Chip. We started out trolling and catching Black fin tunas bonitos and a Mahia. Than we tried a deep drop looking for a big bottom fish and all of a sudden we were in for a big fight when this big silky shark took the bait and BAM the fight was on. After a good 10 min tug a war we had him to the boat. After a few pictures we cut him free to fight again another day. Thanks again to all of our anglers for coming down and doing some deep seas fishing off Fort Lauderdale. Captain Taco

OCT FISHING OFF FORT LAUDERDALE WOW
OCT FISHING OFF FORT LAUDERDALE WOW
October 1, 2025
• Fort Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Report – October Wow, wow, wow — what a month for fishing in Fort Lauderdale! The mahi mahi showed up a little late this year, but when they did, they came in thick and hungry. We’ve been catching beautiful gaffer-size mahi, ranging from 8 to 15 pounds — an unexpected pleasure for this time of year. The sailfish are starting to show up strong too, mostly in 170 to 200 feet of water. Lately, we’ve even been spotting them chasing ballyhoo in the shallows — a great sign that sailfish season in Fort Lauderdale is just getting started. Even more exciting, we found mahi mahi feeding in under 100 feet of water! Casting live bait to them in the shallows has made for some incredible light-tackle action and unforgettable fishing days. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous — calm seas, clear blue water, and air temperatures between 67° and 75°F. No hurricanes for us this year, but it looks like the storms that passed through the Caribbean pushed plenty of fish our way. All in all, October was a fantastic month for deep sea fishing off Fort Lauderdale. Looking ahead, November should bring red-hot sailfishing and a good shot at wahoo as well. The water temps and conditions are lining up perfectly for an amazing winter bite. If you’re ready to experience the action, come fish with us aboard Hooked Up, one of the top-rated Fort Lauderdale fishing charters. Whether you’re after mahi mahi, sailfish, wahoo, or just a great day on the water, we’ll make sure you have an unforgettable trip.
