Fishing Reports by Capt. Ron Mallet

Fort Lauderdale Florida offshore deep sea fishing report - We are having one of the coldest winters I can remember since moving here in 1980. I know you get it worse up north but I didn't bargain for this when I came this far south. Lots of cool temps and lots of west wind has kept the fishing action scatter more...

Fort Lauderdale Florida cold fishing report - We are into our new year and the winter chill found us. It was 37 degrees this morning!

Fort Lauderdale Florida fishing report. Inshore and Offshore - The fall weather has kicked in. The bite is changing daily and luck plays as big a role as ever getting into the action.

Fort Lauderdale Summer Action - We dodged another one. Lots of rain and fireworks but no real bad winds. Now that it has passed we are into the sports again. The offshore scene has held up well while live baiting a mile or so outside the inlet. Mostly Kingfish and Bonitas. The more...

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report - The wind has blown hard straight from the east the last few days. This has really pushed the fish into the harbor. With our huge inlet facing straght to the east it has allowed lots of weeds and debris to enter due to the winds. We found a nice weed more...
