Trip Summary

Wow so we had Steve and his girlfriend Melissa on board the Hooked Up for just a relaxing 4 hour fishing trip. So we started out trolling and catching Bonitas and a couple black fin tuna and all was going great. But than we decided to switch up and do some shark fishing along with a couple baits suspenseful from our kites just in case any sailfish or Mahia showed up. Well it was our deep line with a shark bait that got bite. And line was peeling off like a freight train was on the other end pulling ! Line off the rail. After a 15 minute back-and-forth tug-of-war a pop this monster Tigershark. We took a few pictures and cut the leader as close as we could to the fish and release him to fight another day. Wait do you ask? You be the judge I figured 600. Ironically enough this is the third one caught this week off the coast of Fort Lauderdale my son a boy that hooked up to court one as well and another one of the local captainsAlso caught one. Crazy I’ve never seen this many tiger sharks off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. Captain Taco hooked up sportfishing

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. Go To FISHING Booker AND Book your Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing trip today — the fish are here and the bite is on!
