Atlantic Sailfish

<p><div>Beautiful flat calm conditions made for a great day on the water. The action started quickly with a sailfish hooked within the first 10 minutes of trolling — always exciting to land a trophy fish before even getting fully offshore!</div><div>Once the trolling bite slowed, we switched to bottom fishing and managed to put a few tasty snapper in the box despite a strong current. Eric and Grayson had a great trip and went home happy with fresh fish for dinner.</div><div>Another fun and successful half-day trip with smiling clients and bent rods!</div></p>

Vermilion Rockfish

Hot bite and happy crew! Donald and their crew joined us for a winter morning offshore adventure, heading out at early morning with skies that started clear before becoming cloudy in the afternoon. We ran our 10 Hour Run n Gun Private Fishing Charter in Fort Lauderdale with Get Reel Sportfishing.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on trolling, bottom fishing, and live bait fishing to target the offshore species. The Vermilion Rockfish were cooperative, and Fort Lauderdale's offshore waters proved why they're such a productive fishing ground for these techniques. The combination of structure and current makes this area perfect for both bottom fishing and live bait presentations. We wrapped up the trip with tight lines and great memories all around!
