Fishing is getting hot! (3/26/2007)

Port Everglades Great Fishing (2/08/2007)
[Fort Lauderdale,FL] February has started out great for us catching quite a few more species. Dave Hill of Chicago came down pre-superbowl and caught his first Sailfish. He noticed the rod was bent and sticking that way so he grabbed it and pulled back and a Sailfish started greyhounding on the surface.

Sword - Sailfish Fishing Report For Fort lauderdale (12/08/2006)
[Fort Lauderdale,FL] We fished with Matthew Morgan on 11/28 doing a Sailfish/Swordfish combo trip. We couldnt raise a Sail on the reef so we caught some bait anticipating the bite once we arrived to the 50 line.

The Biggest Game in Town! (11/20/2006)
[Fort Lauderdale,FL] If you really want to gamble, come out for a day or night of fishing on board the New Lattitude. Right now the Sailfish are pushing through Ft. Lauderdale and will continue to increase in larger pods as we get into the winter season. Kingfish are showing up bigger than the usual 5-10 pounders as fish over 20 pounds are being caught with the occasional smoker. Mahi-Mahi have been scarce on the reef but that can change from day to day as I'm expecting to see some nice fish show up on the days the northeast winds blow.

Strong Winds Fishing Out Of Port Everglades (11/06/2006)
[Fort Lauderdale,FL] In the recent past week we were able to get out 4 times and the weather challenged us a few times. For the next 2 months, we are reserving trips to the Bahamas. We can do same day or multiple days of fishing. The Wahoo bite is going off everyday now over there, we just have to have that weather window.

Octoberfest fishing! (10/18/2006)
[Fort Lauderdale,FL] In the first report for October, we started out with a bang and I thought we caught the last of it for this month. But as we continued fishing, the bite continued and grew hotter, going on for almost 3 weeks now. Of course I\'m talking about the Swordfish bite.

Fired Up Florida Fishing (8/10/2006)

"Catching", Not Fishing Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report (7/16/2006)
[Fort Lauderdale,FL] We don't call it the tropics for nothing. Almost everyday it has been raining in buckets, but like all rain in the tropics, it's short lived. When your on the water you can see the rain coming and most of the time you can run from it.
