SOUTH FLORIDA FISHING
World-Class Fishing Charter Boats and Captains
Shark Fishing Charters
South Florida is lucky to offer numerous species of sharks. We see hammerheads, bull sharks, threshers, makos, tigers, and duskies. March through July offers the best opportunities for shark fishing. We book a large number of shark trips in these months and our customers have great luck with landing a good hit. The depth we fish for sharks is usually around 300′ and we fish the entire water column, allowing us to target sharks at the top, middle and bottom at the same time. We use heavy tackle (80 to 100+ test) to go after the biggest and baddest fish in our water.
Dolphin Fishing Charters
Also known as Mahi Mahi, the dolphin is one of Florida’s most popular fish species and is one of our specialties. We have success fishing a good distance out and commonly use methods such as offshore trolling while running at 6–8 knots with 4 to 5 baits on the surface at one time to maximize our results. We constantly keep an eye out for debris on the water’s surface, such as seaweed patches, shipping debris, or even a single piece of floating wood. Mahi Mahi tend to both hide and hunt near debris as it offers shade and security to both them and their prey.
Swordfish Fishing Charters
Swordfish, also called the Gladiator of the Sea, is one of the most elusive and sought after fish that is to be found in South Florida. On Day Trips we fish with bonito bellies, squid, mackerel, eels and dolphin bellys. In the day we fish directly on the bottom for swordfish, using a 8-14lb weight. We will most commonly use electric reels for this set up and we have a variety of electric reels aboard the Good Hit. We like to use an LP S-1200 and we always carry a Dawia Electric which has the ability to hand crank. Both of these reels are top of the line for this sport.
Unique Fishing Charters
Saltwater fishing for sailfish, swordfish, dolphin, tuna, kingfish, tarpon, and wahoo are just a few of the possible species available for the fishing trip of a lifetime. Our specialties include kite fishing, live bait fishing, daytime and evening swordfish charters, and tarpon fishing. We can provide you with a half day, full day or a customized charter of your choice. We also provide hands-on fishing lessons. For customers with their own vessels, this hands-on learning adventure can be conducted on your boat, with the option of using the equipment on board or we can provide the needed gear.
