Location: Fort Lauderdale Beach, FL
Vessel: Brand New 2026 Conch 330
The Score: 11 for 14 on Sailfish

If you’ve been waiting for the “bite of the season,” it just arrived. We just returned to the dock after an absolutely legendary run off Fort Lauderdale Beach, going 11 for 14 on Sailfish.

A Record-Breaking Day
To put this in perspective for those who don’t fish these waters daily: catching 11 sailfish in a single trip in this area isn’t just a “good day”-it’s a statistical anomaly. While Fort Lauderdale is world-renowned for its sailfishing, an average productive winter trip usually yields 2 to 3 shots. Seeing double digits is the kind of “bucket list” action that tournament anglers dream of.

The conditions aligned perfectly, but having the right platform made the difference in converting those strikes into releases.

The New Flagship: 2026 Conch 330
We did it all aboard our brand new 2026 Conch 330, and let me tell you, this boat is a game-changer for the Good Hit fleet. Built specifically for hardcore South Florida offshore work, she features:

Triple V8 300hp Outboards: With 900 total horsepower, we have a “mind-bending” holeshot that gets us from the marina to the edge in minutes. Less transit time means more time with the kites in the air.

Ultimate Versatility: With over 60 strategically placed rod holders, we were able to manage a complex spread without a single tangle, even when multiple sails were screaming line at the same time.

The “Eye in the Sky”: Our custom-fabricated tower gave us the height advantage needed to spot the “sailfish showers” and tailing fish before they even hit the spread.

Bait Capacity: Our massive livewell setup kept our goggle eyes frisky and vibrant all day-essential for enticing those picky March sails.

Why Good Hit?
At Good Hit Sport Fishing, we’re known as the “closest marina to the inlet,” which means we are often the first ones to mark the fish. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or it’s your first time holding a reel, our goal is the same: Up to six passengers step on board, and up to six fishing legends step off.

March is officially “Spring Madness” here. Between the sailfish bite and the mahi-mahi starting to move in close with the east winds, the ocean is alive.
