Trip Summary

Sailfish Fishing I mean catching off Fort Lauderdale February 21st This morning with we set out deep sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale with Harrison and 3 of his good friends for a few hours of kite fishing. WOW we had no idea what a great trip we were in for. We had 2 kites in the air with 2 live baits suspended from each kite once the trap was set the wait was not long with king mackerel striking our baits left and right. But we had monofilament leaders and the were biting threw them with their razor sharp teeth. But we did get lucky with one fowl hooked and we managed to get him in the boat. BUT kings were not our targets we were looking for BIG SAIL FISH!! And all of a sudden here they came and I mean 2 here another one there. It was crazy and what a ball. We ended up catching 3 sailfish 1 mahia and that one unlucky king. And the best part we had to pick up an afternoon trip and we had plenty of live bait so needless to say we were stoked. As we backed in from our morning trip we had Jayson his wife Summer and last but not least their son Brooks that Fishing Booker had set us up with and talk about the perfect trip. Once again out went the kites with the live baits suspended from them BAM one after another BUT the coolest part was this young man Brooks he was a bad ass and yep he reeled in a big black fin tuna along with a couple sailfish. WOW we ended up catching them 4 sailfish and a nice 20-pound tuna and 2 king fish. We ended up catching 7 sailfish for the day and we also reeled in some new friends needless to say it was a day to remember not just for our anglers but Daniel my mate and myself Taco a day we wont forget.

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.
