Trip Summary

The Garcia Bachelor Party was one big hit, with Mahi, Kingfish & Blackfin getting hooked, fillet & Sashimi all for our team. The trip was picture perfect with our overstuffed deli sandwiches being a great hit. Catering is always the way to go. The fishing was fast & furious with the first line out & a blackfin tuna inhaling our artificial lure. The action continued with a few more Blackfins, a couple of Kings & about half a dozen mahi's to end the day... Great day on the water... Join us & let's Chase Your Dreams!

Mahi Mahi continue to bite within a few miles of the coast, with Blackfin Tuna also red hot. Amberjacks are caught over wrecks in waters **hidden content** ft deep. This is usually the beginning of the open Grouper season. The summer fishing season started early this year in Fort Lauderdale, and we've already started catching a wide variety of species that are usually caught in the summer. And while catches have been really good in the last few weeks, we can expect them to get even better as we head into June. During April the first Blackfin Tuna north of 25 pounds were caught, and these muscle-packed fish put up one heck of a fight before you can claim victory. The best way to target them is with trolling, and we can expect the numbers of Blackfin Tuna to go up over the next month. In addition to Tuna, Sailfish have started to make an appearance around Fort Lauderdale, and several boats have reported catching more than one Sailfish at the same time, which is quite an exciting event to witness. Wahoos, which is a regular catch in Fort Lauderdale waters, continue to show up, although they are not as plentiful in spring as in other parts of the year. When fishing close to reefs, one of the main catches is kingfish, which are targeted by trolling with planer boards. Anchoring close to the reef, yellowtail snappers are one of the prize catches, which can be attracted with chum. They're not only fun to catch on light tackle, but also make for delicious eating. And while groupers have also been caught, they've had to be released since they're out of season at this time. As we go into the summer months, we can expect increasing numbers of Mahi Mahi to show up more consistently, which makes it worth targeting them specifically. In the past few weeks, some Mahi Mahi has been caught, but mostly by accident while targeting other species.
