Trip Summary

Fall Fishing Is Back, Baby! While we might not get what the rest of the country calls Fall, we do get our own version of a change of seasons. Fall fishing off Fort Lauderdale is absolutely phenomenal! The Mahi Mahi are biting and we’re seeing sailfish almost every day! A few other amazing species are also biting right now. Check out a bit of what we’ve been catching below! Every year in Fall, we experience a huge migration of baitfish along our coast including ballyhoo and mullet. These large schools of baitfish bring along a range of predators looking for an easy meal. Triple Dolphin in Shallow Water Dolphin are going crazy right in shallow waters. We are able to sight fish in about 35-50 feet of water where you can actually see to the bottom and spot the fish. We usually need to go to water that’s **hidden content** feet deep to see this kind of fishing charter action. Don’t miss your chance for this unique opportunity. More Mahi in Shallow Waters Like we said, big Mahi are in closer than any other time of year! This trip had 4 mahi on at one time and the customers managed to land all four of them. The catch included an absolute unit of a Bull mahi. Over 100lb of Mahi in the cooler! This trip was an emotional rollercoaster but when everything seemed lost we came through with an amazingly Good Hit. Limiting Out On Kingfish This group of customers were after kingfish and Captain JT was able to help them out. Our fishing charters are flexible and can be customized to suit a customer’s needs. If you want to catch fish or you want to catch a specific fish, Good Hit Sport Fishing is here to provide our fishing charter customers the experience they are looking for.

Hey anglers! Captain Mike here with your fishing report for January and February. The winter months are in full swing, but that doesn’t mean the fishing has slowed down! We’ve had some incredible days on the water, with plenty of action for both seasoned pros and first-timers. Offshore Action: The sailfish bite has been on fire! We’ve been hooking into these majestic fish regularly, with some days seeing multiple sails raised and fought. Kite fishing with live bait has been the most effective method, but we’ve also had success trolling dead baits. Blackfin tuna have also been a consistent presence offshore, which is highly unusual for this time of year. We usually don’t see them until April at the earliest, this is a rare opportunity to catch this amazing fish. We’ve been finding schools of tuna around the reefs and wrecks, and they’ve been eager to take live bait. These fish are a blast to catch and make for some delicious table fare! Kingfish Bonanza: February is kingfish time, and we’ve been seeing some smoker kings showing up in our chum slicks. These toothy critters are a thrill to catch, and they put up a great fight. Live bait has been the key to success here, with pilchards and goggle eyes being the baits of choice. Wahoo! While not as consistent as the sailfish or tuna during these months, we’ve had some exciting encounters with wahoo. These speed demons can show up at any time, and when they do, it’s game on! High-speed trolling with lures like Islanders and Marauders has been the most effective way to target them. Keeping a wahoo lure or two in the spread while targeting other species is always a good idea this time of year. The payoff is well worth the effort when you hook into one of these powerful and delicious fish. Tips for Success: Live bait is key: Make sure you have plenty of live bait on hand, as this is what the fish are feeding on this time of year. Be patient: Sometimes the fish can be finicky, so be patient and don’t give up. Dress appropriately: It can get chilly on the water in the winter, so dress in layers and bring a rain jacket. Book your trip early: Our trips fill up quickly in winter and spring, so book your trip in advance to secure your spot. Looking Ahead: The fishing should continue to be excellent in the coming months, with the sailfish and kingfish bite remaining strong. We’re also expecting to see more wahoo and dolphin showing up as the water warms up. So, if you’re looking for an action-packed fishing trip, give us a call at Good Hit Sport Fishing. We’ll put you on the fish and make sure you have a memorable experience! Tight lines, Captain Mike, Good Hit Sport Fishing
