Will Daley Fort Lauderdale, Florida Reported: 1 day ago

This week brought fairly calm seas and very little current, creating comfortable conditions for most of our trips. Fishing was somewhat slower early in the week, mainly due to the lack of current, but once we were able to get quality live bait and establish a good spread while trolling the reef, the bite improved noticeably.

Slow trolling live bait and kite fishing proved to be the most effective techniques. When we had the right bait and positioning, we were able to connect with several Sailfish, showing that even on slower weeks, dialing in presentation and timing can make all the difference.

We also had a few Blackfin Tuna around, along with some medium-sized Bonitas, providing steady action. One of the standout fish was a 20 lb Blackfin Tuna that put up quite the fight, making several strong runs before finally coming to the boat. In addition, we caught a few Mahi, mostly on the smaller side, but still great fights and a welcome surprise this time of year.

Snapper fishing in deeper water has been effective as well, giving us another option when the trolling bite slows down.

As water temperatures continue to warm, the fishing should heat up right along with them.

A large dusky shark was successfully caught during this expedition after a 35-minute struggle. Weighing approximately 450 pounds, this was truly an extraordinary experience for the participants.

Chilly weather has the peacocks shut down, but the largemouth and hybrids are keeping the rods bent all day long. Warmer weather and hungry peacocks on the horizon!

Awesome time, weather was perfect, Lucas and Damien hunted the fish, great team. It did happen to be a slow day, but we tried trolling, dropping down etc. Put a medium king in the boat for the smoker and released a few trigger fish and a sand tile fish.

On a slow day when it seemed no one was catching fish, Jorge worked hard and got us several hookups, including an outstanding sailfish that we'd never had boated without his expert boat jockying. I've fished with a lot of guide's, and he's among the best.

Captain Bill did a great job taking our family on an iguana hunt. His knowledge and patients got us on some lizards even though the conditions weren’t perfect. He was friendly good with the kids. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Had the best time with Brett on our iguana hunt. Brett was hilarious and knew exactly where every hiding spot was regardless of the fact that it’s been so cold in Florida for the iguanas. Added bonus was he’s got the best playlist going and really just made for a relaxing and fun hunt. I usually get sea sick and he constantly checked on me. This was the first time in 46 years I never got sea sick. Perfect trip with Brett!!

JP was an amazing guide. He took us to a few great spots where we found some awesome variety of fish species. Coming from Chicago, it was a great experience to find Oscars, Cichlids, Gar, Dogfish, and a few big schools of Largemouth Bass. Going through the Everglades we saw a bunch of Alligators and other cool wildlife too. My son will talk about this trip for years to come, he'll never forget it. Thanks JP!
