Mid December, whoever thought we would get a tropical depression in south Florida this time of year. Lots of rain and wind have been the main story the past week. There are many places we can hide and fish, but 45 to 50 winds are not fun.
A few days that we were able to get out dodging rained and wind, the snook were plentiful in the backcountry, targeting mangrove, shorelines and deep channels, using Live bait and Rapala, shadow wrap, and X wrap twitch baits. A mixed bag of species of snook common, fat and sword spine, great catches...

A few days that we were able to get out dodging rained and wind, the snook were plentiful in the backcountry, targeting mangrove, shorelines and deep channels, using Live bait and Rapala, shadow wrap, and X wrap twitch baits. A mixed bag of species of snook common, fat and sword spine, great catches
for anglers due to the weather.
The jacks and bluefish are still plentiful in the channels and deep holes using DOA 3” shad tail and top water Rapala skitter walks for best results. With the cool fronts, pushing into the South Florida area, we will be receiving migration fish, like mackerel and Pompano to add to the fun.
Well, that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember, you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight lines!

Cooler weather has really heated up the fishing here in south Florida.. lots of quality Dolphin around. With the wind and the colder weather has really started the sailfish season off with a bang!!!! Multiple sails being caught daily.. plenty of blackfin and skip jack tunas around. Some are in the 8-15 lb range but there is also lots of smaller tunas and little bullet bonitas which have made the wahoo fishing insane!!! Plenty of 40 plus lb wahoos caught past few weeks. There has also been some yellow fin tunas in the area a few over 100 lbs have...

The weather is beautiful the ocean is calm. The fish are hungry. This time of year is typically the best fishing South Florida has to offer plenty of Kingfish, Tuna, Wahoo, and even a bunch of Sailfish are still around. There are some Dolphin, but they are not as thick as they would normally be this time of year. Also, the bottom fishing has been on fire with the muttons spawning there are some quality size mutton being caught. The giant Sargasm that people have been talking about has really not made its full presence felt here in South Florida.,...

    Trip: Iguana Hunting Insanity

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Ricky was an awesome guy. It was a full moon, rainy,windy type day and he did about all he could do to get us on fish. The only improvement I felt he could make better for his clients is having Right and Left handed reels onboard. Both of us felt awkward using left side handled bait casting reels.

    Trip: Iguana Hunting Boynton Beach

  • ★★★★★
    This was hands down one of the highlights of our entire trip! We had an absolutely amazing fishing experience and caught a TON of mahi-mahi! 🎣🐟 The boys had the best time and are still talking about how much fun they had. Chris and Robb were incredible—so friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and educational. They took the time to teach the boys throughout the trip and made the entire experience fun and memorable for our whole family. Afterward, they filleted all of the fish for us, and we were able to take it home and cook it that very same day for the entire family. It doesn’t get much fresher than eating the fish you just caught! It made the experience even more special. We made so many wonderful memories that day, and it’s something our boys will remember for a very long time. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, we absolutely recommend Chris and Robb. We would do it again in a heartbeat! Definitely the highlight of our trip! ❤️🎣

    Kenny and Joey are the true salty gents of Florida fishing. They know the reefs, wrecks, fish, bait, rigs, locations, tides and currents to get hooked up. I wouldn't use the Captains Charter to book them again because of the hidden charges. Tight lines!!!

    I have been on trips that ended up with a 400 lb Goliath grouper! Also have chartered several trips with Stokes Walker in Destin! He now belongs to the gulf! Buried at sea! This is the worst experience I have ever had! Last time for me!

    Ryan was our Captain for the day. He tried his best but no luck. The seaweed didn’t help. We had a couple bites on live bait but they avoided the hook. Maybe next time.
