My crewmen and I have extensive experience in fishing the Fort Lauderdale/Miami areas: two Bahamas Billfish Championships and numerous tournament wins in addition to our many years of local chartering. None of us enter into tournament fishing anymore and instead choose to spend our days furthering experienced and novice anglers experiences at deep sea fishing and smoothly introducing new anglers to deep sea fishing. Children are always welcome and we encourage you to bring yours along. Between us, we have a combined total of over 90 years guiding anglers in their pursuit of big game fish and also 'action' charters tailored to meet each charters specific wishes. We love what we do, it is all we do, and our love for our job is easily seen with Trip Advisor and Google reviews as well as here at Fishing Booker, as all carry us with a 5-star rating.

    Izlet koji moji tinejdžeri nikada neće zaboraviti

    3 Hour private Charter • 4 adults

    Moji dečaci su skoro deceniju molili za ovakav izlet - dva puta smo bili na Floridi i oba puta nam je vreme pokvarilo planove. Možda je bila u pitanju iščekivanje, ali kako god, oduševljeni su do neba. Prvi oficir, Nick, dao je sve od sebe, a kapetan JJ se pobrinuo da odu kući sa punim srcem, doživevši i uspehe i razočaranja u ribolovu. JJ nas je odveo na 3 mesta tokom izleta koji je trajao između 4 i 5 sati - jedno mesto nije dalo rezultate, drugo jeste, a treće nam je pružilo uzbuđenja i razočaranja sa više skoro ulovljenih riba koje su bile teške za izvlačenje i na kraju se oslobodile. Iskreno, bilo je savršeno i naši dečaci verovatno nikada neće zaboraviti uspomene sa ovog putovanja. Posle toga smo otišli u restoran gde smo skuvali sopstveni ulov, što nam je potpuno oduvalo mozak. Danas je bez sumnje stvoren onaj pravi kamen temeljac uspomene kakav poželiš na ovakvom putovanju. I brod je bio odličan.

    Neverovatno iskustvo i odlična posada!

    3 Hour private Charter • 6 adults • 1 child

    Odlično sam se proveo sa Marlin my Darlin! Došao sam iz Novog Meksika u nadi da ću svojim roditeljima priuštiti iskustvo koje se mora doživeti pre kraja života, na otvorenom moru. Kapetan JJ je to ispunio i još mnogo više. Na popodnevnom čarteru, počeli smo sa nekoliko sjajnih bonita, a zatim i nekim lepim primercima blackfin tune. Ubrzo nakon toga, izvukli smo ogromnog Wahoo-a od 64 inča. Kakvo neverovatno iskustvo izvlačiti ovu lepoticu, za sve na brodu, uključujući i prvog mornara Landona koji je bio fantastičan. Nismo bili gotovi - kapetan JJ i Landon su postavili teži ribolovni pribor i samo nekoliko minuta kasnije udica se zakačila za pravog čudovišta! Nakon 30 minuta borbe, ulovili smo Hammerhead ajkulu dugu 8 stopa. Kakvo neverovantno iskustvo. Tako uzbudljivo i toliko zabavno. Kada budete u oblasti Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, potražite Marlin My Darlin i rezervišite. Nema razloga da tražite dalje.

    kakav sjajan rođendan!

    3 hour Shark Fishing Charter - 3:00 PM • 6 adults • 4 children

    Kapetan JJ i njegov prvi oficir su bili neverovatni (izvините što sam zaboravio vaše ime, ali to govori o mom lošem pamćenju, a ne o njegovoj usluzi)!! Otišao sam sa porodicom (uključujući četvoro dece, uzrasta od 7 do 12 godina) za moj rođendan, i posada je strpljivo objasnila deci sve o ribolovu i kako sve funkcioniše, jer nismo strastveni ribolovci – ali posle ovog iskustva, definitivno želimo to da postanemo i jedva čekamo da iznajmimo još ovakvih izleta na ovom sjajnom brodu sa ovom sjajnom posadom!

    Sve ili Ništa!!

    6 hour Offshore Charter (AM) • 5 adults

    Za nas je ovo bilo iskustvo za ceo zivot! Posetili smo naseg sina u Ft. Lauderdaleu i imali smo slobodno jutro u rasporedu. Nakon sto smo proverili dostupnost i procitali neke recenzije, odlucili smo da idemo sa Marlin My Darling. Od trenutka kada smo stigli, znao sam da smo dobro izabrali! Docekala nas je Kaylee, nasa odlicna Prva Pomocnica i njen Kapetan Nick. Pitali su nas sta zelimo da lovimo? Odlucili smo se za izbor Kapetana i Posade - pokazite nam dobro vreme i ako ulovimo neku ribu, odlicno. Nije dugo trajalo... vec posle 10 minuta ulovili smo mahi-mahija od 40". To je bio samo pocetak. Trollovali smo, driftovali, pecali na zmaja i pecali pri dnu u nadi da cemo uloviti veliku ribu. Bili smo na ribi celo vreme - ulovili smo (2) mahi-mahija od 40", 8 yellowtail snappera, triggerfisha, skusu, lizard fish, velikog murenu i poslednja riba dana bila je pravi trofej za zid - ogromna Hammerhead ajkula od 120"😳. Pored samog pecanja, nista nije bilo vaznije od iskustva koje smo imali sa nasom Prvom Pomocnicom Kaylee i Kapetanom Nickom. Radili su tako naporno i bogovi pecanja su nam bili naklonjeni. Borili smo se sa ajkulom oko 90 minuta, smenjujuci se, menjanje u i iz stolice za borbu je bilo besprekorno, a zatim je Kapetan Nick sisao sa krovnog gnezda, uzeo zvanicnu meru, stavio oznaku na ajkulu i napravili smo gomilu fotografija. Uvek je lepo kada idete na ovakva putovanja i ulovite ribu, ali to nije zagarantovano! Ono sto je pod kontrolom su ljudi koji vas vode na vodu i njihova posvcenost da kupcu pruzite sjajno vreme. Kaylee nas je educovala o svemu sto se desavalo sa vise linija u vodi koje rade razlicite stvari - razumeli smo sve sto se desavalo usred tog haosa. Ovo dvoje su bili jednostavno neverovatni! Dajemo im pet zvezdica u svakom pogledu! Sto je jos vaznije, upoznali smo dva nova prijatelja. Ovo ce biti jedna od nasih redovnih aktivnosti kada dodjemo u posetu! Ako pretrazujete Internet u potrazi za charterom - ne trazite dalje, ovo je bilo neverovatno iskustvo. Hvala vam, Kaylee i Kapetane Nick, vidimo se uskoro i hvala vam, Marlin My Darling, sto ste nam priredili tako sjajno iskustvo.

    Džek i DŽej su se potrudili više nego što se očekivalo da nas dovedu do ribe. Bili su gostoljubivi, prijatni i imali su ogromno znanje o lokalnoj ribi u tom području. Na kraju smo ulovili crnoperajnu tunu, nekoliko većih barakuda i jednog ajkula medicinku od 2,4 metra koji je iscrpeo i moju suprugu i mene. Ovi momci će vas sigurno dovesti do ribe! Toplo preporučujem.

    Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report Aboard the Marlin My Darlin Fleet This Week Highlights 8/1/26 This week, the Fort Lauderdale fishing scene aboard the Marlin My Darlin fleet has been outstanding. Over the past 10 days, fishing has been exceptional as seagrass begins to ease, opening up a wider range of techniques for all our charters. Bottom fishing is strong, trolling has been phenomenal, and live-bait fishing remains highly productive. The relief from seagrass has been tremendous and should only improve as we move deeper into fall. Reef Trolling Reef trolling has been exceptional with big schools of fish showing up. Bonita are around, along with a number of nice-sized Wahoos (Dorado). King mackerel are still a bit spread out, but several days have produced limits. We’re also seeing a good number of summertime Sailfish in the area. Reef trolling remains one of our premier techniques, and we expect it to stay a top option as we head into fall. Offshore Mahi Offshore Mahi fishing is heating up. Seagrass patches are starting to group into large paddies, drawing Mahi to shade and bait fish beneath. This seasonal pattern typically ramps up now and tends to be particularly strong in the coming months, often reaching a peak later in the year. Expect excellent offshore Mahi action as our charter season progresses. Bottom Fishing Summertime brings consistently strong bottom fishing, especially for snappers along the reef and in deeper waters. Yellowtails, mangrove snappers, and mutton snappers are perennial favorites, and over the past couple weeks the action has been steady and should continue through the fall. Bottom fishing remains one of our most reliable techniques. Swordfishing Offshore daytime and nighttime swordfishing has been fantastic. Reports from the fleet are outstanding, with some boats catching multiple bites in a single charter day. Summer typically offers favorable conditions for daytime swordfishing, often accompanied by mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, tunas, and occasional Sailfish at night. While winter is traditionally best for swordfish, summer provides exciting daytime action as well. Conclusion This week’s Fort Lauderdale fishing report for the Marlin My Darlin fleet looks excellent. The weather forecast is favorable with no hurricanes in sight, and as we emerge from lobster mini-season, fishing typically stays strong through October. If you’re in the area, book a trip and get out on the water. For reservations, please call our landline. Marlin My Darlin Phone: **hidden content** Website: **hidden content**

July 4 2026 Fishing

jul 9, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing Report – Week of 7/4/26 Marlin My Darlin Sportfish Fleet Overview The South Florida charter fishing scene is strong across the board. Over the last week to 10 days, wahoo have been roaring along the reef, delivering both big trophies and plenty of consistent action. Trolling has been a standout technique, with sea grass conditions allowing for productive battles most days. We’re also seeing solid activity from mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, kingfish, mackerel, sailfish, and other top-class gamefish, making for exciting all-around inshore and offshore action. Wahoo - The wahoo bite has been phenomenal along the reef. We’ve landed multiple big fish, with a healthy mix of smaller 20–30 lb specimens. - In addition to wahoo, expect strong trolling opportunities across the charter fleet. Sea grass has been a common factor this season, but when conditions allow, we’ve found excellent trolling results. Mahi-Mahi - Offshore mahi-mahi fishing is becoming more consistent. Large weed patches are prevalent, and while one in ten patches holds some action, the bite can be productive when you locate the right pockets. - The mahi population is developing nicely for the early part of summer. Expect fair to good catches on reliable offshore trips. Shark Fishing - Shark fishing has been outstanding, with big hammerheads, bull sharks, lemon sharks, and even a few threshers showing up in recent weeks. - Summer is a peak time to chase trophy sharks, and many trips report heavy pulls and exciting runs that make for memorable escapades on the water. Bottom Fishing - Snapper and grouper activity on the bottom has been a touch light lately, particularly on daytime trips. - Night fishing has been especially strong, with deep-water snappers like yellowtails, blackfin snapper, and even American red snapper appearing on the bite. Swordfish - Swordfish fishing at night remains excellent. Daytime efforts have been slower, but nighttime anglers report consistent catches ranging from 50 to 250 pounds. - South Florida remains one of the premier year-round swordfishing destinations, drawing anglers from around the world to chase these elusive giants. Conclusion South Florida charter fishing remains very strong and one of the best times of the year to get out on the water with family, friends, or colleagues. We’ve seen consistent fishing with plenty of action and a good number of fish to take home for dinner on recent trips. Reservations Book your next fishing adventure with Marlin My Darlin.

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report – June 16, 2026 Fort Lauderdale Charter, Fishing Report Overview Over the last 10 days, fishing has been consistently good. Most boats report catches of mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, tuna, wahoo, kingfish, bonita, and even a few late-season sailfish still around. We’ve also seen several larger sharks in the area over the past couple of weeks, including a few big hammerheads. Looking ahead, the forecast for the next couple of weeks is excellent, and fishing should improve as we move deeper into summer. Reef Trolling Reef trolling has been absolutely fantastic. Expect steady catches of blackfin tuna, wahoo, bonita, kingfish, and mahi-mahi. This has been the most reliable fishing pattern throughout the summer and has continued to deliver strong results. Shark Fishing Shark fishing has been outstanding over the last couple of weeks, with many bigger hammerheads reported, along with lemon sharks, sandbar sharks, reef sharks, and even a big tiger shark this week. Summer shark fishing is typically strong and should stay productive through October. Mahi Mahi (Mahi Mahi Offshore) Offshore mahi fishing has been a mix of good and challenging days. Some boats are loading up with large numbers of smaller school-size fish, while others have had more limited success. Expect this fishery to become more consistent as summer progresses, with the peak typically arriving in September. Bottom Fishing Bottom fishing has been steady to light the last couple of weeks. Most boats are catching consistent numbers of smaller snappers and amberjacks, with occasional groupers mixed in. Bottom fishing remains a reliable, crowd-pleasing option throughout the summer and into fall. Conclusion Overall, the official Fort Lauderdale fishing report is positive and should continue to improve as the season progresses.

June report

jun 9, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report – June 9 Over the past couple of weeks we’ve hosted several large corporate events and bachelor parties, plus a few birthdays. Every charter has been memorable, with guests leaving raving about the experience. The seagrass has been tougher this year, making for some challenging fishing conditions, but the bite is very much alive. Target species and bite notes - Mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, tuna, snapper, grouper, sharks, and sailfish are all actively chewing. As we head from May into June, summertime fishing is in full swing. Trolling - Reef trolling has been excellent when we can find clean water away from the seagrass. Expect mahi-mahi, kingfish, blackfin tuna, and the occasional wahoo. Depths of 100 to 400 feet have produced the best action recently. Bottom fishing - With grouper season open, bottom fishing has been outstanding. We’ve seen sizable gag and black grouper grabs in the last several days. The June full moon typically brings a strong mutton snapper bite as well. This is a prime time for bottom fishing trips. Kite fishing - Kite fishing has been slower due to heavy seagrass and dense seaweed plumes, which makes live-bait presentation tricky. Once we find clean water, kite fishing pays off with big-game targets like sailfish, hammerheads, sharks, mahi-mahi, and even wahoo. Offshore mahi - Northshore mahi fishing has been red-hot over the last two weeks. The seagrass has pushed schools into bigger groups and brought in some larger fish, with several 20–25 pound mahi reported. Offshore patches of seaweed and debris remain productive for big mahi and active schools. Conclusion June is shaping up to be a fantastic month as school winds down and we head into peak summer fishing. We’re excited to welcome new friends and returning guests for family charters, corporate events, and birthday celebrations at Marlin My Darlin. If you’re looking to book, we’re happy to accommodate you in any way possible. Contact Marlin My Darlin Phone: **hidden content** Website: **hidden content**

February 1, 2026 charter report

feb 2, 2026 • Fort Loderdejl
Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report: January 26, 2023 – Aboard the Marlin My Darlin Over the past few weeks, Fort Lauderdale has experienced some chilly weather, which has led to exceptional sailfish fishing! January is proving to be one of the best months for targeting sailfish, along with blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, snappers, and grouper. Overall, fishing conditions have been consistently fruitful here in South Florida. #### Kite Fishing: A Winter Favorite Our kite fishing technique has been outstanding lately. This method is particularly effective during the winter months, as it allows us to target large trophy sailfish along with a variety of other species as bycatch. The excitement of not knowing what will bite next makes kite fishing an exhilarating experience. #### Reef Trolling: A Steady Bite Reef trolling has yielded decent results over the last month, with several large wahoo catches reported. The blackfin tuna bite has been especially strong in the late afternoons and is expected to remain consistent through June. This technique not only provides steady action but also ensures a reliable supply of fish for our customers. #### Bottom Fishing: Hot Action Before the Cold Front Just before the recent cold front, bottom fishing was incredibly productive, with local boats reporting excellent catches of snappers, amberjack, and even a few shallow-water groupers. Snappers are a crowd favorite among our clients, and many love to take them home for a delicious dinner. #### Offshore Mahi: Slow but Steady On the offshore front, mahi-mahi fishing has been slower than usual. Most boats venturing into these waters have either caught undersized mahi or faced complete skunks. Historically, offshore fishing picks up around March and continues through October, offering much better opportunities during the summer months. ### Looking Ahead As we move into the next few months, fishing in South Florida is expected to improve. We eagerly anticipate the late-season cold fronts that will further enhance our fishing conditions. Stay tuned for more updates from aboard the Marlin My Darlin Sportfishing Charters.
