Today we had Bill from Ohio and Trevor and Holly from Canada out for a few hours of deep sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.
What an action packed day we had. We started out by getting some live goggle eyes (live bait) from the bait boat and went right out to 150 feet of water and set out both kites with 2 baits suspended from each kite.
The trap was set and from there it didn't take long before our first bite. The first fish turned out to be a bonito and right after that another than anther. All of a sudden we got a bite that was a little different than the others and before we knew it out came this big sailfish dancing all of the surface of the waves.
Bill jumped in the chair and the fight was one. It took a good 30 min before Bill finally got his first sailfish to the boat. We got a few quick pictures and watched him swim away in great shape.
We ended up hooking a total of 4 sails but only managed to get one to the boat along with 7 bonitos and one nice skip jack.
Guys thanks again for a great day of fishing and we're looking forward to seeing you again this spring.
Super bowl is right around the corner and fishing has just been red hot so give us a call and let,s get you HOOIKED UP.

Today we came to work with no trips on the books but our luck soon changed and man do I mean our luck changed.
Out of nowhere came this car driving by and these guys were hoping that we might be available for a few hour fishing trip. As it turned out we were available but not for a few hour fishing trip but we were available for a few hour CATCHING TRIP.
Once we got Elyse, Nicolas and Joel from Montreal Canada aboard we headed right for the live bait boat and picked up a dozen live goggle eyes (live bait) and went right to kite fishing with 4 live baits suspended from the kites and the trap was set.
From there it wasn't long till we got our first bite. A sailfish was all over our left long kite bait and before we knew it we were Hooked Up. Elyse jumped in the chair and the fight was on. After a good 20 min fight he got this monster sailfish to the sided of the boat. Once we released his sail we set the baits right back out and once again another sail popped up on one of our kite baits and yes once again we were Hooked Up. That was just the way our day was going we ended up catching Joel one sail, Nicolas one sail and Elyse ended up catching two sails.
Thanks again guys for a great morning of deep sea fishing aboard the Hooked up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.

Fishing has been RED HOT off the coast of Ft Lauderdale and today was even HOTTER. WHAT A DAY WE HAD!!!
We started out with Dean, Brad and Les from South Carolina and Al and Tripp from North Carolina. Once we loaded up everyone we headed straight for the bait boat and picked up a bunch of live baits and went right to kite fishing with four live baits suspended from the kites. Once the trap was set the action started almost right away.
We had our baits out for less than 20 min when we spotted a sailfish chasing our left short kite bait while J.J. was feeding him 2 more popped up on the other kite baits. Before we knew what was going on we had 3 sails on at the same time. WAHOO what a way to start out our day. After catching all three of them we set our baits right back out there and BAM we got Hooked Up again. This went on for all morning till about 11:00 am than it just shut down as if someone hit a light switch.
But that was ok by the time the bite shut down we had caught 6 out of 9 shots and everyone caught fish and big ones to boot.
Thanks again guys and we.re looking forward to fishing you guys again soon.
Guys fishing is just about as good as it gets down here in Sunny South Florida so give us a call and let's get you out of the cold and into the RED HOT BITE.

Today we fished with Greg, Steve, Anthony and Hannibal from New Jersey.
Once again we figured if it ant broken don't fix it so we went right to kite fishing which had been producing all these sail fish for us all week. However today we had little to no current and I've got to say that the bite had slowed almost to a stop.
None of the boats were seeing much and after the great week of fishing we had this week we were all disappointed but all the same we hung in there and at last we got the bite and we made the most out of it. We ended up catching a big 90 plus inch sail fish. Well I guess if you're not going to catch a lot then catch a big one and that was just what we did.
Thanks again guys and we're looking forward to catching you guys more fish next time.
