Biggest wahoo I've seen in over a yeah this week caught aboard the Catch My Drift. A 79 lb. wahoo on a 20 # test boat rod outfit! Yes, thats the fish of the week for us over here on the Catch My Drift. Caught by a customer that hadn't ever fished a day in his life.

The weather has been playing a factor on our fishing trips for quite a while now. More than half the time seas are not fishable for the past month.

Sword - Sailfish Fishing Report For Fort lauderdale by
Cary Hanna
(12/08/2006)
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 Sailfish are FINALLY here by
Andrew Roydhouse
(11/30/2006)
The sailfish bite was hot this week. Finally some good action on sails out there. Well guys, although in the past few weeks we've been catching a sailfish here, a sailfish there, they haven't been biting as good as they usually do. This week the sailfishing was off the scale. Every day this week we have been seeing multiple sailfish on the kite and on the troll. Even the drift boat has been catching sails this week using dead ballyhoo.

The Biggest Game in Town! by
Cary Hanna
(11/20/2006)
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.

November Fishing So Far... by
Andrew Roydhouse
(11/06/2006)
Guys, the wind was howling this week so we didn't go out as much as we usually do. We still pocked our noses out there a few times. The Swordfishing the other night was phenomenal. Everyone that went out there caught swordies, and mutliple ones at that. Our charter boat went out on a swordfish run the other night and was 4/7. It was a really crazy night of fishing. One of the best swordfishing trips I've seen in a while.

Strong Winds Fishing Out Of Port Everglades by
Cary Hanna
(11/06/2006)
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.

Well it is the start of a new month and we are looking foward to some sail fish showing up. On the 2 nd we took out Runehic (that is the way he spelled it) from Norway. Fishing was a little slow but we did end up catching 1 monster barracuda and a very nice dolphin.

Octoberfest fishing! by
Cary Hanna
(10/18/2006)
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.

Wouldn't it be awsome if every rod in the spread went off? That's the sort of queastions I get by my customers on the way out to the fishing grounds. My answer, "It definately happens, you never know what to expect".

"Catching", Not Fishing Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report by
Cary Hanna
(7/16/2006)
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.

Sailfish Are Back Up in Ft Lauderdale by
Cary Hanna
(6/29/2006)
For the past 2 weeks we have had some great action going on. On each trip we are producing Sailfish. It seems they are making their way to the south following the bait. Some are eating big Goggle Eye baits and the others are taking big Pilchards.

Well the month of May has come and gone and what an awsome month it was for almost everyone. I've heard other Captains say they haven't seen the Dolphin fishing so good in over 10 years.
