Trip Summary

Well it is now certain that Old man Winter is on the way out the door. Today they are calling for a high of 87 and yesterday we had our first coastal thunderstorm complete with a really god light show from some serious lightning. Happy to see that pass. This morning and along with the warm weather and that projected high of 87 a brief light rain that held no thunder or lightning (!!!) has cleared and it is becoming a pleasant but partly cloudy day. Our boats are off the dock and headed offshore for our daily fishing charters here in Fort Lauderdale. Sailfish continue to be a possibility on each charter with fish showing right and just offshore of the reefs in water from 100 to 180 feet in depth. Sails also seem to be passing by further offshore with several out in 500 to 600 feet. Yesterday was an example of this as we caught one trolling in 550 feet and then a second one on live bait in 150 feet. We have spent a fair amount of time out further targeting Golden Tiles (which have been biting well) out in 700 to 725 with live baits in the kites while fishing on the bottom for those Tiles with an occasional Rosebelly Perch in the mix, but only an occasional Mahi strike out there on those surface baits with no Sails and also no Sharks. It's March (aka Mako March here) and we are hoping for one of those, especially spending some time out in that deeper water, but none so far for us or any of the boats. But it will happen. Hammerheads are slow right now and the way I see it that means less time hooked up to a Hammerhead which means more time spent with baits in the water and available for Mr. Mako. The Hammerheads will be here in numbers soon enough and Mako March is ticking by. Always a special treat for South Florida anglers when a Mako drops by. Good Wahoos around and the scattered Mahi-Mahi. Larger Amberjacks are arriving and are mostly on the deeper wrecks for now. As we mentioned the Golden tiles have been a regular target for us and there have been some fat ones well into the teens. We are not fishing the Gray tiles as they continue to be small and we are only allowed to keep a single fish. Snapper fishing has been on the weak side so we are looking elsewhere, mainly those Goldens and Jacks. Kings continue to be on again/off again with no big numbers, but some nicer sized fish. Tight lines to all and happy Easter from from all of us (Rick,Matt, Tommy K, Brian and JJ) @ All- Inclusive Sportfishing.

Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing Report –
Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing Report –
Diciembre 20, 2023
As the festive season unfurls, so have our fishing lines! December in Fort Lauderdale has offered us a cocktail of weather patterns, but anglers aboard our renowned vessels – 'Marlin, My Darlin’ both 46 and 53 feet of pristine charter prowess – have reaped the benefits of a teeming Atlantic. Here's the lowdown on what's been leaping from the waters. **Sailfish Season in Swing:** December's dip in mercury traditionally heralds a spike in sailfish activity a trend that has held true. Thanks to cooler climes, these acrobatic fighters have been a consistent thrill, providing many anglers with the rush of a lifetime. Our captains have employed kite fishing with a master's touch, luring sailfish to the surface and into the hands of exuberant anglers. Incidentally, this method has also tempted imposing trophy sharks, with hammerheads, tigers, and makos making appearances that have sent reels screaming and pulses racing. **Mahi-mahi Mania:** Offshore pursuits have been fruitful for those targeting mahi-mahi. Most have returned successful, hoisting fish within the 3 to 7-pound bracket, although there have been tales of larger specimens. These vibrant battlers have been prowling waters from 400 to 1000 feet, where they've struck baits with the tenacity for which they're celebrated. **Tuna and Wahoo Whispers:** Blackfin tunas have graced us with their presence, albeit playing hard to get. Intermixed in the catch, wahoo has been the occasional delight – their searing speed and razor bite adding a layer of excitement to any fishing narrative. **Reef Fishing Rundown:** While the reef scene has been sluggish at times, especially for trolling enthusiasts, the perseverance of our crews has paid dividends. Wahoo have made periodic dashes across our spreads, while small tunas and respectable king mackerel have kept the action steady. **Wreck Fishing Rewards:** For those who've fancied their chances closer to the seabed, the shipwrecks have served up a mixed bag. Large snappers still lurk in the shadows, joined by formidable amberjacks and the visually delightful vermilion snappers. It's been a case of 'drop and reel' for those hitting these honey holes. **Looking Ahead:** With Mother Nature promising a stretch of sterling weather, and the holiday spirit embracing Fort Lauderdale, there couldn't be a more divine time for a family fishing charter. Whether you're a local or planning a yuletide vacation, the silver lining is clear – December's waters are bustling with life, and 'Marlin My Darlin’ charters are at the ready to create memories that will sparkle long after the holiday lights dim. Book your adventure and let's cast lines into the bright horizon of fishing festivities!

Outstanding South Florida Charter Fishin
Outstanding South Florida Charter Fishin
Octubre 25, 2023
The past few weeks have proven to be exciting times for fishing enthusiasts in South Florida. Despite windy weather and choppy seas, our charter fishing has been outstandingly fruitful. Why? Because these conditions usually lure in the larger fish. It's been a red-hot period for Sailfish enthusiasts who have found a productive bite along the reef ranging from 80 to 200 feet. Kite fishing is unmistakably our preferred method for tackling these challenging species, yielding impressive results. Those angling for Sailfish can also expect a good bycatch of mahi-mahi and blackfin tuna. Interestingly, our waters have also been frequented by a few large trophy sharks, namely robust bull sharks and elusive hammerheads. These unexpected visitors up the thrill factor, reinforcing that we're in the thick of trophy season. On the flip side, offshore mahi-mahi fishing has been slow, with most catches being reported along the reef through either live bait or trolling methods. Blackfin tuna has been showing up more regularly in the late afternoons, with catches typically weighing between 3 to 10 pounds. This bounty has ensured that our charter guests have plenty of opportunities to battle with larger game fish. All in all, this season's fishing report beams with excitement and promises even more action as we plunge further into the trophy season. Grab your gear and join us in the hunt for the 'Big One’!
