This afternoon we had Olle from Sweden out with us.  Olle was here checking out the area and activities to do here in Ft. Lauderdale.  Olle had never fished before and thought it might be fun to try.  Well, Olle, you must have some really good luck.  The sailfishing had been a little bit slow, so we decided to go trolling today.  After about an hour, the line popped out of the rigger and once the fish was hooked, it came up jumping - it was a sailfish.  Well, this fish gave Olle one heck of fight - it jumped about 20 times!! Talk about beginners luck.  Great job Olle and we look forward to seeing you in May.

This morning we had Everett and his family out with us.  The fishing was a bit slower this morning.  After trying several different things, we ended up catching some king mackeral, bonitos and a few dolphin. 

We have another mild cold front pushing throug mid-week which should really increase the activity out there.

Today we had Clem from New Jersey out with us for a 6 hour trip.  He really wanted to catch a sailfish.  As we headed out we stopped by the bait boat and got a dozen google eyes (a sailfish ice cream cone).  The weather cooperated with us and we were able to fly the kites.  It didn't take to long and we were hooked up.  

Well, Clem got his wish and was able to land a really nice Ft. Lauderdale sailfish. 

Now is the time of year for some really Fanntastic Fishing.  Call Capt. Mark at (954) 728-9880 to experience your trip of a lifetime.

We are definetly in a spring weather pattern and the hammerhead sharks have already started showing up.  This afternoon we had David out with us.  He first caught a 5' silky shark and then he landed this nice hammerhead shark. 

With our front coming through the first part of the week, the sailfish action should really heat up and the sharks are here!!

Well guys, today and tomorrow do not look too good for fishing.  On the plus side, this front will be out of here and from Thursday through the weekend, the fishing should be off the chain.  We really needed this front to "stir" things up out there.  The sailfishing for the rest of the week should be fanntastic.  Also, the hammerhead sharks have started showing up - so if you were looking to get out there for your shark or sailfish, this should be the time.  Looking forward to having you fish with us.

Today we had Lou and his son Andy from Syracuse NY with us.  Andy really wanted to catch a shark, so we set up for some shark fishing.  It didn't take too long before we got the first bite - Unfortunately he came unbuttoned.  After just a few minutes, we got our second bite - this one was successful.  Andy caught his first hammerhead shark - about a 6'.

Then we trolled the reef and the guys caught some king mackeral.

Great job Andy.

Well, our weather pattern changed - we had wind from one direction and current from the other - made for a real cowboy ride out there today.  The fishing was a little slower than it has been, but the guys ended up catching some king mackeral and some bonito.

On the plus side, the strange weather is going to be out of here by Thursday and the remainder of the week should be great - sailfish, wahoo, kings, etc. 

Today we had Michael and Jim out with us.  The guys wanted to catch some dinner, so Capt. Mark trolled the reef.  The guys ended up with some nice king mackeral, blackfin tuna and some bonitos.

Today we had John from New Jersey out with us for some sailfishing off of Ft. Lauderdale.  The sailfishing was a little slow today but they managed to get one about mid trip.  Then Capt. Mark changed up to fishing on the reef and the guys ended up catching some king mackeral and bonito.

One great thing about fishing here this time of year is that everyday is a little different - you never know what you might get.

Hey guys -  please bear with us - we are going through some website changes - in the process, some of the blogs and photos were lost in the transition - we will have everything back in working order in no time - our web master is the master!!
