Great Weather, Lack of Current Slows Bite

The last few trips here in Fort Lauderdale, the fishing has been a little slow, but the weather is really, really nice. And nothing beats a nice day on the water. The absence of any meaningful current in the area has made fishing a little slow. These challenging conditions make us work even harder to try and catch fish for our customers. It gets even harder on a half-day trip, but with quality live baits and our "never quit" approach, we know it's only a matter of time before our efforts pay off. On one trip this week, Mike and is daughter from Alabama, joined us for a half-day trip. We decided to try some wreck fishing and our first stop was a wreck in 220'. Our first bait in the water - a goggle eye – produced a nice mutton snapper from the depths. After that initial victory, we tried a few more wrecks, but with no current, the bite just wasn't there. Next, we decided to slow troll some live pilchards and gogs - they produced some kingfish. To finish the trip, we switched to small feathers and caught some skipjack tunas and a few mahi. Considering the bite was off, we finished the fishing trip with some good eating fish for dinner. {%image_id=41398%} {%image_id=41399%} {%image_id=41400%} {%image_id=41401%} The weather should remain the same for the upcoming week so give us a call we have a few openings during the Holidays. We'll try very hard to catch some quality fish, but no matter the bite, we'll have a good time on the water. Good Luck & Tight Lines, Capt.
