Member since March 2015 Fort Lauderdale, United States
Background
I am a 3rd generation fisherman here in Fort Lauderdale. My dad is a fisherman, so I grew up in the charter fishing business... in fact, my parents actually met at the dock where I still work today. I fished alongside my father throughout my high school years, as a deckhand on fishing charters as well as fishing the Bahamas Billfish Champion Circuit every year. I got my captain's license the first month I turned 18 years old and have been fishing full time ever since.
Techniques
We drift fish on the reefs during the day, bottom fishing with chunks of squid, ballyhoo and sardines. We fish mainly for snappers, groupers and the whole array of small bottom fish that are good eating. On the day trips, you can also jig (no braided line allowed aboard) or you can flat-line. The mate will rig you up however you ask him to.

Great fishing this week in Ft Lauderdale
Great fishing this week in Ft Lauderdale
Maa 11, 2015 Fort Lauderdale
Itโ€™s been one helluva great week of fishing in Fort Lauderdale. The dolphin are biting excellent, some sailfish are around and biting, big groupers and other big bottom fish are bitingโ€ฆ lots of activity out there on the reefs. The cold snap we just had over the weekend has really gotten the sailfish frisky. And with the stiff winds, itโ€™s the perfect conditions for kite fishing. Sailfish are concentrated in **hidden content**ft of water, a line of water about a mile off our coast affectionally called โ€˜Sailfish Alleyโ€™. This is the area just outside the reef and inside edge of the Gulfstream, a perfect zone with a lot of available food for pelagic predators. The dolphin fishing is really getting good too. Weโ€™re getting them on our drift fishing trips and our sportfishing charters. Sportfishing charters have the definite advantage in dolphin fishing because they go trolling. But savvy anglers are hooking into them on the drift too. Most dolphin have been schoolie sized, with a few bigger ones mixed into the bunch. Wahoo are out there in good numbers too, also being caught on the troll. Wahoo are argued to be the fastest fish in the ocean. When a wahoo hits your line, there is little doubt of it being anything but a wahoo. Drag screams off the reel like you just snagged a nuclear submarine. Itโ€™s obvious that a fish shaped like a torpedo is built for speed. One of the best eating fish out there, wahoo are always a prized fish. Weโ€™ve been catching an inordinate amount of wahoo this week. February is one of the hottest months for wahoo. This great fishing is just the prelude to our best season on the yearโ€ฆ March, April and May. The best 3 months of big game fishing off our coast is getting rolling now. This is the start of our big game fishing season in Fort Lauderdale and all evidence points to this being a banner year for us. We donโ€™t crush them on every single trip, but the fish are definitely out there and waiting to be caught. Good luck to everyone fishing with us in the coming weeks. Have fun and catchโ€™em up! Tight Lines, Capt. Andy Roydhouse
