Mahi-Mahi

After several days of bad weather, we were finally able to get out and do some Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing. Anglers fishing with me aboard the Reel Work were treated to good day of catching mahi. Look for kingfish, tuna, mahi and sailfish fishing to improve as the water clears over the next week.

Ft Lauderdale Fishing Heats Up In March

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Charters
3-5-2012
by Captain Walter Shaw

Other then a few days of strong winds and rough seas, Ft Lauderdale deep sea fishing has been good for the last week. Anglers aboard the Reel Work have been catching blackfin tuna, bonita, grouper, mahi-mahi, wahoo, sharks, sailfish and even a rare white marlin.

February 29th was special not just because it only comes around every 4 years, this leap day our anglers had a great fishing adventure catching bunches of tasty blackfin tuna and drag screeming bonita. When the action slowed down on the surface we droped our lines on a ship wreck and landed some grouper. Last Saturday lucky anglers aboard the Reel Work were treated to a white marlin. Although the white marlin is a fairly common catch around Maryland, they are a rare catch off of Ft. Lauderdale. The sailfish were also biting good on Saturday. Anglers fishing with us today had a nice mix of tuna, mahi-mahi and some wahoo. We also droped lines on some wrecks and landed sharks and a bunch of nice bottom fish. Look for the fishing to get even better as March heats up.

Ft Lauderdale Fishing Report 2-23-12

admin — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:52:55 +0000

Fort Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing has been good for the last week and a half. Anglers aboard the Reel Work have been catching mahi-mahi, wahoo, king mackerel, tuna, tilefish, skipjack, snapper and sharks. Fishing slowed a bit at the end of last week but has picked back up since.

Last week started strong with a fun day of catching good sized dolphin and some skipjacks. Our anglers had a blast and took home some tasty mahi filets. Tuesday and Wednesday our anglers were treated to a nice variety of fish. Our clients caught mahi-mahi, a few tuna and even hooked into a few drag screaming kingfish. Fishing slowed a little on Thursday and Friday. Hard work payed off though with a nice wahoo and a tiger shark. My first mate Adam ran the boat on Sunday and our crew had a really cool day of shark fishing. They got some blackfin tuna, a hammerhead, silky, and thresher shark. I was back at the controls for 2 trips yesterday. Our anglers landed a few tuna and some tilefish in the morning, then on the afternoon trip my anglers caught a big sandbar shark and some bottom fish.

Ft Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing 2-14-2012

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:16:59 +0000

High seas and bad weather have made Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing kind of slow for the last two weeks. Fishing has started to pick up the last couple of days though, and with spring just around the corner Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing will only get better. Offshore fishing the last couple of weeks has seen a mixed bag of fish. Some sailfish, mahi-mahi and king mackerel were being caught along with skipjacks and blackfin tuna. Bottom fishing has put some fish in the boat when trolling gets slow. The strong cold front that blew through the last couple of days should really help to improve fishing.
