Epic Fort Lauderdale FishingWhat a wild start to 2025! Our bottom fishing in Fort Lauderdale on January 1st was nothing short of incredible. We pulled up some XL Vermilion Snappers—by far the biggest I’ve ever seen—along with a steady bite of  groupers, which is rare off Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never seen the grouper bite so strong around here!

The only downside? They went out of season at midnight on December 31st.

But no worries—on January 2nd, the groupers were still biting like crazy, and even though we had to release them, the Vermilion snappers were still putting on a show. We had solid action for three days straight, releasing 13 groupers in total and making sure they went back to the bottom safe and sound.

The weather here in Fort Lauderdale has been phenomenal, with calm seas and temperatures in the mid-60s—perfect for fishing. We also caught some great-eating fish, adding to the fun.

And with a cold front on the way, we’re excited—cold fronts often bring Sailfish through, and we’re ready for the action!

Looking forward to more epic fishing days ahead here in Fort Lauderdale.
