Trip Summary

Holiday season is here, and November fishing has not disappointed. We have been running into nice sizes Mahis, Sailfish, Kingfish, Snapper and Sharks. The humidity has finally lowered, which starts the arrival of different species of Pelagic fish in the local areas of Fort Lauderdale. Our two favorite fish we like to target are Mahi Mahi and Sailfish, which right now is prime time. Our most productive tactics have been Kite fishing, and slowly pulling live bait. It all depends on the current days condition, but recently has been pretty consistent. We like to use 20lb test spinners with 7’ rods for Pulling Live Bait. For Kite Fishing we use 20lb line with 6’ rods, both considered light tackle. In South Florida, we are thrilled to finally get some cooler weather. This always helps provide the fish to become active. Another great aspect of Fall weather is the fronts bring west winds which provides calm waters and good fishing. One day in November we decided to go Kite Fishing, it was a slower day on a Monday. In the last hour of the charter we didn’t have a really good bites. After we were starting to lose fate, we for a Spinner Flat line bite. After a few minutes, we figured out it was a decent sized Mahi Mahi, we saw the Fish Jumped and announced the species. We hooked this fish in 100’ of water, with minutes to spare. We then noticed many of other nice sized Mahis, swimming with this one. As fast as Captain Pete and Me could grab a bait, we were hooked up. At once point we have 5 Mahis on the lines. Two on the kite, and 3 on spinning rods. It was absolute chaos, but we kept it under control. We ended up with 8 nice Gaffer Mahi Mahis to end the day. Hours of no bites, then we really set the tone. It goes to show, you never know what’s going to happen out there. Also exciting news for Good Hit 2.0, we are proud to announce that she got a new paint job, and she looks beautiful. It actually feels like a different boat, every square inch of the boat got attention. Wait till you see it !
