It's the most wonderful time of the year! The schools of bait are here, shoals of mullet and balls of sardines and acres of ballyhoo. The mahi mahi have been showing a trend in the last couple years ft lauderdale mahi mahi fishing was always considered a summer time fishery but the last couple of years the summers have been so so for the golden gamester and the winter has been excellent for them. Even better news they are close to shore right off the edge of the reef and sometimes right on top of it. We have been seeing schoolies and catching the big bulls and cows as well. They are providing the entertainment factor between sailfish bites. The sailfish have been showing in great numbers as well and is on everyones list for Santa this month. From now until May sailfish make a strong showing as Fort Lauderdales premier gamefish. Filling in are continued wahoo catches, kingfish and some medium sized blackfin tunas. So come on guys and gals and get in on the action! Give me a call and book your trip today, dont forget to ask about our new VIP customer appreciation program.

Thanks,

Capt. Mike
