Mel James5.0VerifiedEpičan dan na Good Hit 2.0 Sportfishing sa kapetanom Peteom 🎣
Shared charter • 2 adultsGood Hit 2.0 Sportfishing Recenzija Imali smo fantasticno putovanje na Good Hit 2.0 Sportfishing sa Kapetanom Peteom! Kapetan Pete nas je doveo do ulova Bonite vec u prvih 30 minuta, a zatim smo krenuli na trolling za Mahijem. Na kraju smo ulovili 7 Mahija i izvukli 5 na brod! Ostala dva su bila malo premala za zadrzavanje, ali svejedno pravo uzivanje. Kapetan Pete je bio izuzetno upucen u oblast i ribolov uopsteno. Razgovarao je sa nama tokom citavog izlaska, objasnjavao sta se desava i drzao nas u toku sa onim sto radimo i zasto. Moglo se videti da zaista zna svoj posao i da uziva u tome da ljude dovede do ribe. Ako se kolebate oko rezervacije - nemojte! Kapetan Pete ce se pobrinuti za vas i osigurati da se odlicno provedete. Takodze smo bili na zajednickom izlasku i imali smo srecu da upoznamo neke sjajne ljude - Song, Stevea i Noaha. Odlicni ljudi i odlican dan na vodi! Toplo preporucujem Good Hit 2.0 i Kapetana Petea! 🎣🌊🤙

Rintaro NishiokaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing catch
Shared charter • 1 adultI went on this fishing trip with three other people I had never met before, and it turned out to be a great experience. We all took turns, and the captain made sure everyone had an equal opportunity to fish. We ended up catching two barracudas, one blue runner, one kingfish, and even a 7-foot nurse shark. Since nurse sharks are a protected species, the captain made sure we released it safely back into the water. It was my first time fishing in Fort Lauderdale, and I’m really glad it turned out to be such a lucky day. We caught a lot of fish, had a great time, and I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun fishing experience!

We always take pride in handling protected species responsibly and ensuring they’re released safely. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back the next time you’re in Fort Lauderdale. Tight lines, and thanks again for choosing Good Hit Sportfishing! 🎣
Don HahnfeldRepeat angler5.0VerifiedČekić ajkula od 3 metra, 136 kg
Shared charter • 1 adultKapetan je primetio ajkulu čekićarku kako prati živu mamicu. Rekao je da je bila samo 20# test linija. Moglo se boriti sa njom dugo vremena, a da je nikad ne vidite. Brzo je namestio još jednu liniju sa jačom strujom i predvezom. Dok je postavljao tu novu liniju i mamicu iza broda, istovremeno je uvlačio ostale linije dalje od ajkule. Ajkula je uzela mamicu na odabranoj liniji i dovedena je do broda. Kapetan je bio spreman da odveže sidro broda i okači ga na plutaču, kako bismo mogli da jurimo ajkulu, ali nije bilo potrebe. Rečeno je da su primerci od 5 stopa relativno česti, ali primerak od 10 stopa je nešto posebno.

Sammy AlkhatibRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest fishing trip ever
Shared charter • 1 adultCaptain Alex and Nick gave us an unforgettable day on the water. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked nonstop to keep us on the fish. We ended up landing two huge jacks, a grouper, and snapper, and the action made the whole trip exciting from start to finish. They made everything easy, kept the energy high, and clearly knew exactly where to take us. Easily one of the best fishing trips we’ve had. I would recommend Captain Alex and Nick to anyone looking for a great charter and a crew that truly puts in the effort.

Shared charter • 1 adultThis was a great experience. I did a shared charter and got told the day before it was just one other person and myself. Ok no big deal was a little more since it was less than 3 people. The Captian was awesome, we start with drifting and all for rig get hit one after another, myself and other member of charter ended up with 6 Bonitos. Then the captain takes us to a ship check, use a Bonito as bait land a 44in Barracuda and 42in Crevalle Jack. This fishing trip was well worth it, will definitely do it again!

It was an action-packed day—from nonstop bonito to putting one to work as live bait for that big barracuda and crevalle jack! Thanks for trusting our crew, and we’re thrilled you had such a great experience. We look forward to getting you back on board for another unforgettable day on the water. Tight lines, Steven! 🎣🐟

October Fall Blitz and Mullet Run Action
sep 28, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
Autumn is officially here, and that means the legendary South Florida mullet run is in full swing! Right now, our local waters are packed with massive schools of silver mullet, creating an incredible feeding frenzy along the beaches, inlets, and nearshore zones. If you want to see explosive surface strikes from monster snook, tarpon, and aggressive jack crevalle, this is the absolute best time of year to be on the water. Check out our video clip above to see just how thick the bait pods are right now!
Offshore Highlights and Family Fun
While the inshore action is boiling, our offshore trips are delivering fantastic diversity and non-stop excitement. Sailfish are starting to show up more regularly as the water temperatures begin to transition, leading to some great multiple-hookup days on the kites. We are also finding great quality mahi-mahi on our runs past the deeper weed lines.
Hands down, the highlight of the week went to our youngest angler on board, who strapped into a serious battle and successfully reeled in a hard-fighting shark! There is truly nothing better than watching a kid go toe-to-toe with an apex predator and bring it boat-side with a massive smile.

Good Hit Sport Fishing Report: Fort Laud
sep 12, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
Fishing conditions off Fort Lauderdale have been steady across both the reef lines and offshore waters, giving anglers a solid variety of species to target.
Reef & Wreck Action
Bottom fishing and anchoring over the ledges have produced consistent results, highlighted by a strong mix of snapper. We have been pulling good numbers of mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, and active yellowtail snapper using live bait and cut bait. Anglers working the shallower edges have also encountered aggressive barracuda and hard-pulling jack.
Offshore & The Edge
Moving out into deeper water and working the weedlines has yielded a mix of pelagics and speed fish. Recent trips have produced solid mahi-mahi along the color changes. High-speed trolling and live-baiting on the edge resulted in active schools of blackfin tuna, bonita, and skipjack, alongside steady numbers of kingfish.

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report: Offshore
avg 30, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
The late-summer bite off Fort Lauderdale is holding exceptionally strong right now. We are seeing a fantastic mix of high-energy offshore action out in the deep water alongside aggressive moonlit runs right along the reef edge. Whether we are pushing past the drop-off or working the structure under the night sky, lines have been staying tight and the fish boxes have been filling up fast.
Out in the deep water past the initial ledge, active schools of Mahi Mahi are holding steady around floating debris and organized weedlines. Trolling a mix of light lures and rigged ballyhoo in 600 to 1,200 feet of water has been the ticket to finding the packs. Once the fish fire up around the boat, switching over to light tackle live baits and cut bait produces fast-paced action. Anglers have been bringing home a great mix of bailer to gaffer sized fish, making for plenty of fresh fillets at the dock.
Along the reef edge, the full moon period has shifted the fishing into high gear with a solid push of Wahoo moving through. We have been concentrating along the deep reef drop-offs in 120 to 250 feet, focusing on areas where heavy current collides with underwater structure. High-speed trolling with wire-rigged cowbells and dark skirts during the early morning and moonlit night runs has yielded violent strikes. Slow-trolling live goggle eyes on planer rigs right at dawn has also been highly effective, leading to screaming drags and heavy-weight fish on the deck.
With clean water pushing in and steady current aligned right along the coast, both the offshore pelagic bite and reef trolling conditions are at their peak. Now is the time to get out on the water and experience the action firsthand. Check our calendar and secure your date on the boat while this bite remains hot!

Sizzling Florida Action: Mahi, Blackfin
avg 15, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
Sizzling conditions off the coast have made recent charters with Good Hit Sport Fishing an absolute blast for our guests. Running out into the deep blue Gulf Stream, we located productive current rips and weed lines where trolling live baits and rigged ballyhoo yielded excellent Mahi Mahi action, putting plenty of colorful, hard-fighting fish into the cooler. Moving back in over the outer reef edges, the Blackfin Tuna bite proved electric during early morning drifts, offering aggressive surface strikes on vertical jigs and live bait for fantastic light-tackle fights. Deep over heavy structure, our anglers dropped heavy gear to lock into a giant Goliath Grouper, enduring a grueling tug-of-war to bring the creature up for quick photos before a clean release. The ultimate highlight came when a massive ten-foot Hammerhead Shark slammed our setup, ripping off long, blistering runs that tested our tackle before being safely handled and released alongside the boat. Whether you want to fill the cooler with fresh pelagics or test your strength against world-class big game, Good Hit Sport Fishing has you covered, so check our calendar on FishingBooker and book your date today!

Incredible 15-Foot Sawfish Released Off
jul 25, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
Our latest charter off the coast of Fort Lauderdale turned into an unforgettable day on the water. While we routinely target aggressive gamefish along the reefs and wrecks, this particular trip produced a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Just a short run from the shore, a heavy bottom rig took a massive strike, and the angler on the rod immediately had their hands full with an extraordinary amount of drag-screaming power.
After a grueling battle to bring the fish up through the water column, a giant Smalltooth Sawfish surfaced right alongside the vessel. The crew estimated the incredible prehistoric creature at roughly 15 feet from head to tail. Spotting a healthy specimen of this magnitude in the clear coastal waters of South Florida is a remarkably rare event and a true highlight for everyone on board.
Because sawfish are a critically endangered species protected under strict state and federal guidelines, taking proper care during the handling process was our main focus. The fish was kept completely submerged in the water by the boat while the crew safely unhooked it. After a quick look at its impressive saw-like rostrum and a few photographs in the water, the giant swam away strong back into the Atlantic.
This trip was a great reminder that you never truly know what is going to hit the bait when fishing the waters off Fort Lauderdale. Our charters run out of Bahia Mar Marina daily, fully stocked with top-quality gear for targeting everything from pelagic species out in the stream to heavy bottom dwellers on the reef.

Good Hit Sport Fishing Report: Fort Laud
jun 7, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
The summertime bite is officially in full swing off Fort Lauderdale and we have been running hard out of Bahia Mar to keep our anglers' rods bent. We have been hitting the local reefs, deep wrecks, and blue water over our last few outings. The ocean gave us an incredible mix of high-speed surface runs, beautiful color on the wrecks, and pure muscle in the deep water.
Our Blackfin Tuna blitz has been spectacular with fish showing up consistently in the clean water lanes between 200 and 500 feet. Trolling small feathers and squid spoons has been the absolute ticket to triggering these line screamers. The highlight of the week was having a young angler step up to the plate on one of these trips. He handled a beautiful, hard-fighting Blackfin like an absolute pro, matching the fish turn for turn until we got it over the gunwale. Moments like that are exactly what family fishing is all about.
When we shifted gears to work the deep wrecks, we struck silver by tricking a gorgeous African Pompano. Known for their brutal downward pulling power and stunning, mirror-like looks, these fish are an absolute trophy on light vertical jigs. They are fantastic on the table and even better for photos back at the dock. For the ultimate adrenaline rush, we also headed further out to target big game. June is prime time for apex predators off Fort Lauderdale, and the deep blue delivered a massive Dusky Shark. We rigged up the heavy tackle, and it turned into an epic, back-breaking tug of war before we brought the powerful predator alongside the boat for a clean release.
While the summer bite is red hot, the ocean is throwing some challenges our way with a heavy push of Sargassum weed moving in along the coast. The key right now is finding the clean water lanes and open edges. When the weed is too thick on top for a clean troll, we pivot immediately to deep-dropping on the wrecks or drifting live baits where we can control the presentation. We are utilizing light surface trolling rigs for the Blackfins, heavy vertical jigs for the wreck residents, and 80 to 100-pound test heavy tackle for the big game sharks. Whether you want to watch your kids reel in their very first gamefish, hook a silver trophy on the wrecks, or test your strength against a giant shark, the local waters are producing right now.
