We've had an excellent Kingfish bite on the reef with some sailfish also snapping well when we are able to head off shore on longer trips. We are able to find mahi-mahi wahoo and a few blackfin tuna mixed in looking for offshore paligics Please book a three-quarter day.

Kite season is here! The water has cooled down as well as the air temp making ideal fishing conditions. Combine this with the prevalent East wind pushing debris and the Pelagic fish close to shore. The Sailfish have started to show up as well as the big smoker Kings. There have been random Dolphin close to shore with the occasional Blackfin Tuna in 200-350'. Bonita Tuna have been plentiful in shallow around 50'. The Cudas are everywhere out to 400' and we have been getting them deep on live baits. We are still getting Goliath Grouper bites although we haven't landed one in two weeks. We fought one for 2 and a half hours the other night only to get cut off on the shipwreck. Big Bull Sharks have been around, we released 4 last week up to 400 pounds. I love this time of year, it's not hot, it's not cold, the Pelagic fish are close to shore and next month the Swordfish bite is gonna get hot. Swordfish can be caught year round but the best time is October through February, I can't wait! We still have a couple openings for the rest of the week and weekend. Let's catch a Monster!

    Trip: Fort Lauderdale Fishing Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    I’ve been on many fishing trips - few captains have taken care of our group as well as Captain Alek did. Insightful, hard working, knows where the fish are. Can’t recommend highly enough. 100% choose him to guide your next trip.

    Trip: Miami Sport Fishing 🎣

  • ★★★★★
    Justin is a great guide. He is serious and doesn’t mess around. He gets the job done. They call him hog eyes for a good reason. He will find the iquanas. If you can shoot you are golden for a great hunt. I hope to be back to hunt with him again soon ! He likes to keep a nice clean boat and expects you to follow the rules. (Just read the rules and follow the directions) to insure you have a great time! Well worth the money. Thank you Justin
