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.

The bite is Hot!
Let's get offshore in July. The best time to get tight. Dolphin have started to show up in numbers aswell as our local favorites kingfish snapper and tuna! Deep dropping for rose fish is always a local favorite they taste delicious and are plentiful year round. For thise looking to catch a fish of a lifetime the daytime deep drop swordfishing has been consistent. Hurry to book your trip today August is looking like it's going to be an epic bite aswell and is almost completely booked.

    Out of his control 4 ft swell and 15/20 knot wind trip prior came in early . I should have cancelled. I’d like to come back with my other son and have a better trip .i would recommend if it’s that bad to cancel altogether for everyone’s benefit .

    The fish weren’t biting, but the hunting made up for it. We had a great time with Jose. Memories made.

    What an amazing day on the water. Mike and Fred used their skills and got us on some fish. We all reeled in some smaller blue streaks to get the trip going. My son caught a nice King Fish off a kite, my little guy got a shark and it was my husband that got a monster hammerhead about 8 1/2 feet long! Mike said this was a trophy and a catch of a lifetime. We had so much excitement and now a hammerhead for our wall with a story that will be told for ages. Thanks to Trey from Captain Experience for helping us to secure a boat and captain- he worked all day during a busy holiday week to find us our trip and he delivered. Mike and Fred were awesome guides and gave us the most unforgettable fishing trip. Thank you!

    Jedidiah was unavailable to take us out fishing, but his friend Matt was able fill in. Matt was excellent company, very knowledgeable about fishing, and the various species within these waters. We had a wonderful time and if Matt is a representation of the people Jedidiah keeps for company, then I have no doubt he would be as equally wonderful to go fishing with, 10/10.

    Capt Jed is a professional, responsible seaman. He took us the where the fish are and got us hooked up. He is personable and worked hard to make sure we took home dinner and more. We would be happy to have him Capt for us anytime.

    I would 100% recommend a trip with Jedidiah. No doubt he knows the waters and how to get on the fish, but was also very good with our two younger anglers who had a memorable, successful and exciting experience. King Mackerel were biting and they were just a couple minutes off shore. Thanks Jedidiah and hope to book another one with you in the future!
