Trip Summary

Oct 134 WOW what a fun day today fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. We set out fishing with John his wife Brook their daughter Ella and last but by all means not lease their son Easton. They came down from Knoxville Tenn. however they happen to be natives of South Florida and they miss going out fishing for some Mahi Mahi. So we all decided to go for it and heck yea the right choice was made once we got to about 800 feet of water sure enough the fish showed up and we started catching. Now truth being told here I’ve got to take a second once again (JOHN WHAT ARE YOU THINKINH!!) LOL while John was fighting this 30 plus pounder he stopped to put Easton on his lap to let him try to help and yep you guessed it fish got away. LOL John thanks again you and your family was a blast to fish with and we are looking forward to our next trip together. Captain Taco **hidden content** **hidden content**

OCT FISHING OFF FORT LAUDERDALE WOW

• 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.
