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...

Decent weather and decent fishing  for this Ft. Lauderdale fishing report. Fred breezed by below us and shut us down for a single day with just enough wind and rain to cancel a days worth of charters. Pulp Fictions line by Bruce Willis of “Freds dead” was quite well...

And again just like that another summer month has ended and we look forward to this August's trips offshore on our fishing charters here in Fort Lauderdale. August holds opportunities for many species. Schools of Kingfish will frequent our reef areas and if this month...

Along the edges of what we term the “3rd” reef continues to provide action for our anglers and both boats have been concentrating their efforts along that reef line and just beyond it's edges for our Ft. Lauderdale fishing charters.. Trips to the deeper water and out...

Decent catches continue for us along the reef lines. A Sailfish yesterday and most days have produced decent action working back and forth the reef line in water from 90 to 200 feet. Kingfish, Bonito ( Little Tunny), some Tunas and occasional Mahi-Mahi in those depths...

Decent fishing and reasonable weather, and there goes June. Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone. About the fishing: Most every day continues as before offering good action along the deeper reef lines. That deeper of our “continuous” reef lines follows essentially...

Summer is upon us, no longer just around the corner. Time flies when you're having fun, and a perfect summer would include no hurricanes to interrupt the fun. Time will tell on that one. We here have been lucky as the Gulf coast has been more in the bullseye most...

Happy to report here that the deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale has been productive for many species. Always nice to have a positive and strong Fort Lauderdale fishing report. Many good days now far outnumbering the difficult ones on the water and the oh so erratic...

And here we are barreling into the back half of May already and  this will be our latest deep sea fishing report for Fort Lauderdale. Trying to post one fishing report each week to keep everybody up to date and also to get the photos of recent anglers up within the...

Summer is definitely here as those north and northwesterly winds on the cold (cool) fronts are very few and far between now as we move through May. Easterly breezes coming in off the ocean now on most days. Nice days and today is a very good one,very clear with only a...

And there goes April, and into May we go. Decent weather and hope you like warm. Looking forward there will be more rain as we get deeper into May and we could use some of that right now. Very dry here, scorched lawns, but good fishing right now and who wants to mow...

We continue to have a good number of anglers for our fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale. Weather has been very nice with the exception of a small front which passed thru quickly mid afternoon yesterday. Nothing but blue sky today despite the weather whizzes calling...

April has unfolded as a much anticipated improvement in the catches on our fishing trips in Fort Lauderdale. April has traditionally been a good month for fishing here and the catching is much improved on those Fort Lauderdale fishing charters. Blackfin Tunas mostly...

And April is here. Blackfin Tunas have been showing up, some Wahoo, but still few Sails. Amberjacks have moved in and onto the wrecks and some snapper there too. Some Kings and there are more Sharks what seems like every day. The catching on our fishing charters in...

Well past the middle of March now and April is right around the corner. Extremely busy and not just for our fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale aboard Marlin My Darlin but the entire town is full. A combination of spring breakers and a very high number of other...

And as we find ourselves midway through March we have a similar report to our last observations about fishing in Ft. Lauderdale. Some changes of course as one would expect, but a lot of similarities. Good current and dream about crystal clear blue water.Some days...

And here we go into March. Sorry for the gap between our Fort Lauderdale fishing reports. In actuality not too much has changed other than we are ridiculously busy. The catching has been slightly better on many days, but there are still days we and everyone else out...

Pleased to report that the catches have been again better here on our fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale. Some nice fish, and more fish around. As you see pictured Wahoo, Kings, Jacks, Tunas with Bonito mixed in, and Sharks. Everything happening in 400 feet of water...

Been awhile since we last posted an update on our fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale. We have been fishing every day, and I mean every day. Weather has been decent and although the erratic catches continue and some days we struggle we have again had some good fish....

As we move away from 2021 all of us here at Marlin My Darlin are looking forward to spending our days on the ocean and also hopefully a safe and healthy year. We of course wish all of you who follow our Ft. Lauderdale fishing reports the same. You will notice quite a...

This will be our final report of the year about what is happening on our fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale. So we'll take a second to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous upcoming year as we put 2020 in the rear view mirror. So here's to looking forward to...

A quick report about fishing charters in Ft. Lauderdale involving children. Simple answer is to bring them along. For one we have large safe and comfortable boats.46.5 and 53 feet long. Keeps them as stable as possible (you too). Also our inlet is over 50 feet deep,...

Gone is that cooler weather and I for one am missing it. We get plenty of warm days here and we are right back into the low 80s today, fresh off of an 85 degree high yesterday. And the last four days have brought calm fishing conditions creating an almost totally flat...

If you own your boat here in South Florida this is a great time to get offshore and enjoy some spectacular weather and wet those lines. If you do not own your own boat or perhaps are here in town without your boat a fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale aboard Marlin My...

First let me clarify that I'll stick with the traditional turkey. That is actually what my wife says, and I have made the prudent decision to follow suit with her thinking. But we have had some good Mahi-Mahi catches and there are those who will indeed be having the...

Gone is all the evil wind and wet weather. Quite the prolonged situation of what seemed forever to be never ending wind and squally weather that is thankfully behind us now. Just finished up essentially three post card perfect days in a row for our fishing charters in...

November is a welcomed time frame here as # 1: The light at the end of the tunnel really isn't a train, but the end of Hurricane season just a few weeks away!! and #2: Slightly cooler days and interesting opportunities fishing in Fort Lauderdale. With the chance for...

Continued warm here with showers a possibility on many of our charters here in Ft. Lauderdale. This is typical as we have said previously for our weather now. Soon enough we will be hoping for more of the showers we are seeing now. They say you cannot get too much of...

Pictured below are some of our recent catches and the anglers who joined us here for a fishing charter in Ft. Lauderdale aboard our Marlin My Darlin boats. A diverse group anglers as of late with familes, friends, a business meeting charters and even a bachelor party....

 Well we dodged yet another bullet with another hurricane, this one “Delta”, steam rolling into the Gulf  and causing a lot of destruction and pain. And this one only weeks after the previous Gulf coast hit. We have really been so very fortunate here what with the...

Once again the old well used saying of “time flies when you are having fun” is dead on. It is October already, and fall is in the air. Of course we are continuing to experience the mid 80s here on our fishing trips in FT. Lauderdale. That is expected. No drought here,...

We continue to have good success on our fishing charters here in Ft. Lauderdale. We continue to catch fully grown Amberjacks on the deeper wrecks with an occasional Grouper on the live baits. Some Kingfish continue to be along the reef line and some days numbers of...

Fishing charters here in Fort Lauderdale continue to produce some good sized fish, but there have been a couple of days with less fish hitting the box than we would prefer. And this is an annual Fall season situation as temperatures change and the available fish...
