Deep into our winter now but one would not know it as many daytime high records have been rewritten despite the awful series of storms in the northern states. 83 the high today, yesterday another record fell as we topped out @ 85. Slightly cooler this weekend with...

And just like that we are into the middle of January. This report of fishing in Ft. Lauderdale features  all photos of kids. Little kids, big kids. All of them really good kids that chose to bring their parents along with them for their fishing charter in Ft....

Hope everyone had a great start to the new year. Weather has been beautiful and the ocean has been very reasonable. And some of our caught species have been beautiful as well, and others not so reasonable. In more accurate terms the fishing has been very similar to...

As we make our way to the end of 2022 we find ourselves completely booked out thru the end of the year. The lows in the upper 40s will be a memory as Friday and Saturday lows are forecast to be 71 &72 with highs of 79 & 81. Something to look forward to for...

I easily recall when it used to rain here....at times it rained a lot.....As I write this fishing report for Fort Lauderdale I honestly cannot say when we had our last rain, or even a brief shower here on the coast. That said it will possibly rain some on Friday as we...

So Thanksgiving is here this week and all of us here @ Marlin My Darlin wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends. The weather is sightly cooler as we get ready for Thursday's turkey (and fish?) dinner. We will be having the traditional turkey dinner...

And there goes October in what seemed to be a “blink of the eye”. Always liked that phrase “blink of an eye”. Another oldie I like is “time flies”, and I think most of us, especially the older (experienced?) ones among us are familiar with them. So that said, here...

Been a while since our last report and I apologize for the gap between our posts. My wife and I just got back in Ft. Lauderdale from a getaway to Maine. We enjoyed ourselves up there in the NE, fished some of course, enjoyed the amazing beauty and the never gets old...

Spending time alongside and up upon the edges of the deeper reefs is often a choice that results in a good number of bites from various species when on a fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale and also other areas along the Gold Coast as well. Reefs and structure hold...

We are experiencing some stellar sea conditions as we begin a new week of fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale. Many mornings fishing trips have begun as “pancake flat” with only a very small sea by the afternoons. Conditions such as these cause the deep fished trolled...

August was a pleasant month here in Ft. Lauderdale. Lots of calm days and some nice clear clean water close to shore. Some slow days as always but most days held some pretty good action. The end of the month has brought a big push of Bonito. Aggressive hungry Bonito....

As we pass the midway point of August we find warm weather and on many days very calm sea conditions. We continue to direct a lot of our mid August efforts on our fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale to the areas just offshore of the main reef line which has us fishing...

A couple of more blinks of the eye and summer break for schoolers of all ages will end for another summer. Not sure “schoolers” is actually a proper word, but it tells the story, summer ending for children and young adults. The summer months will be with us a while...

Making our way deep into July now here in Ft. Lauderdale. Fishing charters are now firmly entrenched in the typical summertime patterns, that not being only fishing but the weather patterns as well. Pleased to say we have been enjoying reasonable fishing and also...

This will be a quick fishing report for Ft. Lauderdale as I post this 4th of July. Burgers are about ready to grill and never wise to keep the other half waiting as we all know. So Happy 4th to all and here we go. We have been blessed with good weather here with the...

Halfway through June already, amazing.  As we have mentioned before time really does seem to fly. Kids out of school, families in town and we have been fishing steadily as we move through the month. Kingfish, and Bonitos remain in decent numbers right up on the reefs...

Pretty good action and catches since our last fishing report. Decent sized Kingfish are in the areas of our fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale and we have caught them most every trip. Really good Blackfin Tunas have hit the ice and we have had some anglers leave a...

And now we find ourselves over half way through the month of May. We are fishing every day so please reach me direct @ 954-778-8173 with any and all questions, and for sure reach me direct to reserve so we can speak and tailor the charter directly to your interests....

Small front passing through today.  The last two have been severely weakened as they move through the state, but with the weakening also seems to come a slowdown in movement, and these systems, although weak and fairly mild, drag on and on occasion almost stall. Not...

As expected the fishing in Ft. Lauderdale in late April has some pretty good catches. And those catches have included Kingfish, Blackfin Tunas, Wahoo, some Sailfish and Mahi-Mahi., really large sharks. And then we have the Amberjacks in town and also in good numbers....

We are experiencing decent weather and decent fishing as well on the majority of our fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale. Blackfin Tunas, some Sailfish and Wahoos to go along with Amberjacks, Snappers, Bonitos and some large Sharks. Kings have been very slim and the...

As we move into April we are pretty much sure of two things. The first being that fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale will offer more opportunities for good catches. The second being that the weather will be warm. April and May are our favorite months for fishing here....

As we move through March we are seeing some better catches on our fishing charters here in Ft. Lauderdale. This is of course a welcomed development as the fishing has been so erratic this season. So reasonable weather with reasonable sea conditions this week and some...

The weather here for our fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale remains much more predictable than the fishing. The fleet does ok one day and struggles the next with always the possibility of a good catch, but also days with the very real possibility of a slow day...

A very good week weather wise and an improved offshore deep sea fishing in Ft. Lauderdale as well as we fish our way into the final days of February. I say “fish our way into”as that is exactly what we are doing, being booked every day now. Still a few bumps in the...

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentines Day and of course good fishing. We had some better fishing today with a couple of larger fish. A very nice catch and release Sailfish this afternoon was the big fish of the day and she took a live bait presented on a kite. The wind...

It's hard to believe that January has already come and gone. Seems as if it literally flew by. We enjoyed only a couple of “cool snaps” and a single “cold snap”. The much awaited cold snap just occurred and dropped us into the lower 40s. That was three days ago, 79...

We continue to enjoy warm and pleasant weather here on the vast majority of these rapidly dwindling January days. With such great weather we would hope that the catching on our fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale would be a bit more steady but catches have fluctuated...

As the first week of 2022 draws to a close we continue to be blessed with good weather and good ocean conditions for or fishing chrters as well. Very comfortable days now as what seems to be the entire rest of the country has poor if not horrible weather this week. We...

So here we are closing in on the new year and hope everyone id enjoying the holiday season. The weather has been absolutely perfect and the deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale has had it's moments but has been erratic giving us a strong day with a number of fish and...

Coming up fast on Christmas as another month flies by. Weather has been warm and just cool enough to remain very pleasant. A “mild” start to winter for sure. The catching has at times been erratic  and challenging but we continue to have some good catches. Along the...

So here we are closing out November and looking forward as always to the fishing charters coming up. The ocean is our office and we realize we have a pretty good life chasing gamefish. Good days, slow days, rain or sunny, it is easy to stay motivated. Fishing has been...

Coming up fast now on mid November and a decent front just pushed through. A good breeze from the west/northwest didn't hamper our charters and the front has had a good impaact on catches. November catches can be all over the map with really good days offshore and...

And yet another month passes by as we bring you an end of October Ft. Lauderdale fishing report to close out our posts for deep sea fishing in our area this month. Some good catches mixed in with some slower days offshore have made for a typical October. A fair number...

Good weather and good fishing have combined to make this a favorable fishing report update as we reach the midway point of October. Very comfortable sea conditions, not too many showers, not too much heat, and some pretty good catches for our anglers on their fishing...

And into October we go. A bit of wind for a couple of days chopped it up offshore but not nearly enough to stop the fleet from fishing. That wind has presently subsided and we continue to totally evade that really big wind we all dread as the hurricanes, although...

Essentially flat calm seas continue to greet us every morning. There are the expected scattered  showers to deal with but none so serious as to force a cancellation of a charter. Loads of juvenile Bonito (we call them bullets due to their speed) have moved in and they...

Our Ft. Lauderdale fishing report for mid September continues to reflect the patterns of the last few weeks. Decent catches on most days but some days can be slower, and that is common for this time of year as we proceed through September. Kingfish and Tinas are good...

So far so good weather wise for us here in South Florida and our Ft. Lauderdale fishing charters as those storms in this active hurricane season  have focused their wrath on other unfortunate locations. For the second summer now on a Maine vacation wife, myself, and...

Time continues to fly by and for some summer has now passed. For myself and some others a bit still remains but a couple of quick blinks and she's gone. We use “she's gone” here when the big one gets away, which as all fishermen know happens. But I'll use it here...
