May 1 grouper season opened in Florida. We have some great spots to catch all of our grouper species, additionally Blue Line tile fish opened, so deep dropping is something we do while we are offshore looking for mahi and tuna.

Mosquito Lagoon has continued to produce good quantities of slot reds along with an occasional Bull. But these recent fu moon phases have been key in bringing the gator Trout up on the flats to spawn. Two days ago we had 8 trout between 20 and 25". Largest for the year so far has been 29". This will continue through June. In the Ponce Inlet area still seeing good quantities of sheepshead and flounder with regular hookups of bull reds and black drum. In the next couple weeks we will be starting the evening trips fishing the causeways in New Smyrna Beach for Snook and Tarpon.

WOW what a great way to start out the New Year fishing here off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.
Trolling the reefs has been a bit slow this January however when we ventured out just a little deeper between 200 and 400 hundred feet of water the black fin tunas have been biting ok in the early hours of the day but seemed as we got into the afternoon hours they were biting real good.
Not real sure what happen but the last few years has been producing more and more Wahoo’s also mostly in the same depth as the black fins.
I’m pretty sure they are feeding on the black fins.
Not just us, but all the boats seem to be bring in more and more Wahoo this being the best year I’ve seen yet.
Also while the Mahi mahi are not really in season right now BUT this year they seem to be showing up way before spring and what a welcomed surprise this is always a great crowd pleaser.
The bottom fishing has been expectedly good this year as lone as we have a little north current. No current no good too much current no good BUT a knot to a knot and a half good I mean real good.
Catching the vermilion snappers reel good along with quite a few red snappers ranging from 8 to 20 pounds another great crowd pleaser. And the best new of all we are catching them in state waters so we get to harvest them.
And once again showing up early the Greater Amber Jack SEA DONKEYS, talk about a fight! We had seen many a man give up the rod before landing one of these 30 to 80 pounders.
However an unwelcomed catch nice groupers are also biting BUT Sad to say out of season.
Some times I think these fish know they get to be set free. LOL

The fall fishing is starting to heat up really well! As the temperatures drop the fishing gets hotter, plenty of Snook, Redfish, Jacks, Trout, Snapper, and Grouper to be caught.

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 red snapper bite has been steady but you have to put up some effort to find the sizes you need for the box. Trigger fish has opened and are plentiful but lots of smalls mixed in which is normal but not so bad. The mahi's are crazy good at the moment and anything you find floating in the water is full of fish including triple tails. The vermilion snapper have come off their full moon spawn and are really biting well , squid or salted northern mackerel will do the trick. Kings are good this year and still going . Amber jacks are closed so you know will catch them one after the other. There is no blue water very close here in our neck of the woods so the trolling is kind of slow.
Inshore is never great in August because of the heat but Captain Jake is catching some redfish and trout along with flounder and mangrove snapper. The Spanish mackerel are still good as long as the bait is here.

Black Grouper, Cobia, Red Snapper
The last couple weeks the wind has kept some from getting out and fishing but when the weather has cooperated fishing had been producing some nice fish. Trolling for Pelagic's has been spotty and when you do find them numbers have been down compared to previous seasons. Bottom fishing when you find your spot has been extremely good producing keeper gag grouper and for some reason lots of cobia. Almost every bottom trip produces keeper size cobia. Many of us agree that our cooler than usual spring that went straight to intense summer heat may have derailed some of the usual migration of certain species. That being said last few days those missing fishing are starting to show.
