Epic Start to 2025 Deep-Sea Fishing in Fort Lauderdale! What a wild start to 2025! Our bottom fishing on January 1st was nothing short of incredible. We pulled up some XL Vermilion Snappers—by far the biggest I’ve ever seen—along with a steady bite of groupers, which is rare off Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never seen the grouper bite so strong around here! The only downside? They went out of season at midnight on December 31st. But no worries—on January 2nd, the groupers were still biting like crazy, and even though we had to release them, the Vermilion snappers were still putting...

Epic Start to 2025 Deep-Sea Fishing in Fort Lauderdale! What a wild start to 2025! Our bottom fishing on January 1st was nothing short of incredible. We pulled up some XL Vermilion Snappers—by far the biggest I’ve ever seen—along with a steady bite of groupers, which is rare off Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never seen the grouper bite so strong around here! The only downside? They went out of season at midnight on December 31st. But no worries—on January 2nd, the groupers were still biting like crazy, and even though we had to release them, the Vermilion snappers were still putting on a show. We had solid action for three days straight, releasing 13 groupers in total and making sure they went back to the bottom safe and sound. The weather has been phenomenal, with calm seas and temperatures in the mid-60s—perfect for fishing. We also caught some great-eating fish, adding to the fun. And with a cold front on the way, we’re excited—cold fronts often bring Sailfish through, and we’re ready for the action! Looking forward to more epic fishing days ahead.
Had a blast on a couple of recent trips teaching and sharing the wonderful world of fishing with these amazing kids. It’s not just about bending rods—it’s about sharing knowledge on various species and techniques, so they leave with more than just fish; they leave with unforgettable memories and skills that last a lifetime

Sailfish have been shallow with some 10-20# Kingfish mixed in. Random Dolphin have been around 200'. We caught some really nice Tuna and 25# in 300'. And the Goliaths have been chewing in 120' but we keep pulling hooks and we broke a 300# swivel yesterday, a factory flaw no doubt.

Weather has been all over the place but still plenty of fish to be caught! It seems like charters are picking up a bit, but it's been a little slow the last couple months.

a little slow weather's been up and down still catching good quantities of peacocks out in the Everglades Okeechobee a handful of fish too big ones should be moving in when there's moon

You might get lucky (as long as things are in-season).

Me and wife Went iguana hunting with Charlie he’s a. good guy had a great time it was on my bucket list list to iguana hunt we had a day to use and he book us last minute now I’m going book a gator and hog hunt with him this fall
Justin aka Captain Hawkeye was amazing on the water! The whole Cast n Blast experience far exceeded our expectations! He guided us to an array of fish species throughout the trip including the Peacock Bass and ensured all passengers caught their fair share. Midday he prepared a shore lunch feast that was absolutely delicious and fueled us for the afternoon hunt where Justin was relentless putting us on numerous iguanas! To top the whole day off, Justin introduced us to his friendly gator Fast Eddie who put on a show and completed the full Everglades experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Captain Alek is fantastic, friendly, and deeply experienced. From the start, he made the trip feel completely safe and relaxing while providing top-notch instruction on his high-quality fishing gear. It was an overall great day on the water, and his expert guidance made the experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone.
Anthony was such a great guide!! We’re amateurs and he taught us a lot and we caught a ton of fish!! He knew the spots!! We’ll definitely book with him again.
Cris was a fantastic Captain. We went with two kids aged 7 and 9. We not only fished, the kids had a wonderful experience as Cris sliced the tuna for us to take home with us. I would definitely recommend Cris as your captain.
