Andrew Roydhouse

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.

Fishing Reports

Great winter time fishing!
Great winter time fishing!
Dec 4, 2024 Fort Lauderdale
This week has brought exciting action on the water, with anglers reeling in some fantastic catches both from the drift boats and sportfish boats. Drift Boat Action: The drift boats have been on a hot streak, especially with snapper catches. Yellowtail snapper and mangrove snapper are abundant, with anglers reporting consistent action throughout the day. Even some big mutton snapper have been making an appearance, offering a thrilling fight for those lucky enough to hook one. Additionally, a few nice kingfish have been caught recently, alongside the fast and aggressive cero mackerel and Spanish mackerel, providing a variety of species to target. Sportfishing Highlights: Sportfish boats are seeing a great mix of fish, typical for this time of year. Mahi mahi are still being caught in good numbers, while barracuda continue to give anglers a run for their money. Kingfish are still on the bite, and the bigger fish like amberjack are also proving to be a worthy adversary. Blackfin tuna are adding excitement to the action, with some nice-sized ones showing up in the catch reports. For those after a true challenge, the elusive sailfish and wahoo have started making there appearance in our waters. Big game sharks are also in the area, providing a thrilling experience for those targeting them. Itโ€™s a fantastic time to be out on the water, with a great mix of species available for anglers of all levels. The weather has been cooperating, adding to the overall excitement of the seasonโ€™s fishing opportunities.
