Trip Summary
The month of May has delivered an absolute offshore spectacle here in Fort Lauderdale, and at Good Hit Sport Fishing, we've been right in the heart of the action! We're thrilled to report on a "May Madness" of incredible catches and unforgettable battles across a fantastic range of prized gamefish.
The blackfin tuna bite has been nothing short of phenomenal. Consistent schools have provided non-stop action for our anglers, whether they've been live-baiting along the vibrant reefs or trolling the deeper offshore waters. These powerful and speedy fish have been putting up impressive fights and filling coolers with their delicious meat.
Adding an element of raw power to our trips, encounters with various shark species have been a regular and exhilarating occurrence. From the thrilling runs of blacktip sharks to the impressive presence of hammerheads, these apex predators have offered memorable angling experiences. Rest assured, Good Hit Sport Fishing adheres to all regulations and promotes responsible shark fishing practices.
The billfish action also surged in May, with magnificent sailfish putting on their signature acrobatic displays. We were even honored to host Miami Dolphins players Jackson Carman and Matt Dickerson, who joined us for an unforgettable day and successfully released some stunning sailfish! It's always a pleasure to share the thrill of offshore fishing with such great company.
The arrival of vibrant mahi mahi has added a splash of color and fast-paced action to our trips. These beautiful and delicious fish have been eager to strike both trolled lures and live baits, providing exciting topwater action and tasty fillets for our lucky anglers.
Down on the reef systems, the prized mutton snapper have been providing consistent and rewarding bottom fishing opportunities. Anglers deploying live baits and jigs have been consistently rewarded with these hard-fighting and highly sought-after table fare.
The offshore waters off Fort Lauderdale are currently teeming with life, making "May Madness" with Good Hit Sport Fishing an experience you don't want to miss. The incredible bite across multiple species shows no signs of slowing down. Book your offshore adventure today and witness the madness firsthand! Our experienced crew is ready to put you on the fish and create memories that will last a lifetime.
