Our sportfishing charters are our best all around trip and they are coming in with the most impressive catches lately. Trolling the reefs is working excellent for kingfish, blackfin tuna, bonito, barracuda and sometimes even a wahoo. The action on the troll has made it difficult for us to switch over and do anything different. First rule of fishing is never to leave fish to find fish. But once we’ve caught our limit of kingfish, we often switch over just for the heck of it to try some live baiting. This past week, sailfishing has been off-the-scale! September is the beginning of sailfish season here in Ft Lauderdale. This is the time of year all the big game fishermen come down to try their luck at catching the most sought after gamefish in the ocean… Sailfish. This sailfish season started off this past week with a bang. We had 3 days when the sailfish were jumping in the boat. One day we caught 6, one day 8 and 4 the next. It doesn’t get much better than that. It tailed off a bit over the past couple days but that’s how sailfishing is… it runs in spurts. We get a huge influx of sailfish for a couple days and they bite like crazy, and then they disappear for a few days. We’re only a few days into sailfish season but this sailfish season looks like it is going to be epic!
