Summertime dolphin (mahi mahi) has been hit or miss this year, but we just had one of the best days of dolphin fishing in 5 years. There are some nice fish still out there and we are coming home with plenty of meat for the freezers. In late September and early October we have another good run of nice dolphin coming back through.
Swordfishing in September and October is usually amazing! Usually bigger better fish with multiple shots.

Lake Okeechobee is a little slow right now. You've got to be on the water at daybreak- if you do, you'll still catch a couple chunks. And also keep your eye out for schooling bass in their summertime pattern. We need some freshwater in the lake, but good times nonetheless catching them on Rattle Trap spinnerbait and a Senko Okeechobee majic. It's a good time to take your kids, wife, father, son, etc for half a day of fishing. Then get home in time in the afternoon for some football!

July fishing off the coast of fort Lauderdale had it’s ups and it’s downs butt all in all it was a good month for catching.
We had a real hard time fishing due to all the sea weed in the ocean. This was one of the toughest months we have had in a long time trying to fish and trying our best to keep the seaweed off our baits.
But at the end of the month looking back while yep the seaweed was a real pain the fishing was actually pretty good.
The tunas were biting well all month along...

with a few Wahoo’s.
One new thing we tried just to get around the sea weed was anchoring up in front of a ship wreck and WOW it paid off for us with some great bottom fishing along with a couple of sailfish.
Also found a Cuban raft floating! Coast Guard had marked it so they must have gotten everyone off?
So the sea weed actually helped and made us think out side of the box and went back to basics and fished like we did way back when.

    My wife, my son, and i went on a 4 hour Everglades trip with Jose and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. We caught probably 40-50 fish in 4 hours! Jose was incredibly friendly and entertaining. I would absolutely pay to fish with him again.

    Quick trip to Miami over the Father’s Day Weekend! Father, son, daughter fishing trip with Chris. Great trip, Chris took are of all our needs, put us on fish, not everyone landed the fish we hooked up on, had Kings break us off, fun nonetheless. Did manage to land lunch, nice 20-25lb African Pompano, great eating. Had a Great Tine, we’ll definitely book Chris the next time I’m down visiting my daughter💪🏼🎣
