02/11/20 Deep Sea Fishing Report: Wahoo, Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna Kingfish
01/31/20 Fishing Report: 72″ Broadbill Swordfish Landed Off Boca Raton
150 Lb Swordfish landed during late afternoon charter
We left the dock at 1pm out of Boynton Beach Inlet and headed Southeast to the offshore canyons 20 miles away. Choppy seas slowed us down, but we made it to the swordfish canyons around 3pm, and the wind just died and the conditions were perfect. We baited up a bonito strip and dropped it to the bottom in 1500ft of water and immediately hooked a nice fish. After a 20 minute battle we had a fat 72″ broadbill swordfish in the boat! We made 1 more drop on the same spot but never got another bite. We were very happy with our fish in the boat, and we decided to call it a day early. Ran back to the dock by 6pm to fillet the big fish. Another successful swordfish charter in the books! Bring it on 2020!

12/15/19 Fishing Report: Mahi, Tuna, Barracuda, Bonito
On Sunday we had great action with mahi mahi and tuna on a current edge that ran from Boca Raton To Boynton Beach about 3 miles off the coastline. This time of year is a great time to target both these species close to shore. Our by catch included a few big barracuda and bonito as well as a puppy shark. Hopefully the fish stick around for our deep sea charters this week before the weather conditions get nasty on Thursday. Call us to book your trip today we have a few dates available still this Winter….Also, check out the video below from highlights of Sunday’s afternoon Deep Sea Fishing Charter!

Winter/ Spring 2019 Delray Beach Fishing Forecast
It is an exciting time of year for fishermen down here in South Florida. There has been no shortage of trophy catches during our recent fishing charters in the Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach areas. The best bet during deep sea fishing trips has been targeting sailfish with live baits or trolling for wahoo. This is typically the case this time of year as cold fronts trigger baitfish migrations through our area. As long as the cold fronts keep moving through, we will continue to catch these two prized gamefish in offshore waters during our fishing charters. When the ocean is too rough to get out deep sea fishing, we have been having lots of action on light tackle spinning rods during our inshore trips.
The best inshore fishing has been live baiting for snook during higher tides or casting and trolling swimming plugs for bluefish and jacks. Other interesting species we have been catching around Delray Beach and Boynton Beach have been Southern Sennet, barracuda, and the occasional tarpon. The water temps are pushing 70 degrees, which means we are settled in nicely to our Winter/early Spring fishing patterns. Expect the kingfish, wahoo, snook, and tarpon action to remain steady over the next month or two until water temps increase and new species start to show up.
Winter 2018/2019 Fishing Forecast
As cold fronts move through South Florida we are catching good numbers of Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Kingfish about a mile offshore of Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and Boca Raton. Inshore, along the Intracoastal Waterway, we have been catching bluefish, jacks, ladyfish, spanish mackerel, and the occasional snook or shark. Our most action has come from trolling, but anglers looking for light tackle action on spinning rods have been able to hook sailfish and snook using live bait while drifting. As we move deeper into December/January, I expect the sailfish fishing to get even better after every cold front, with North and Northeast winds also pushing in plenty of mahi mahi. The inshore fishing will be best in between cold fronts when South winds warm things up a bit. Call or text me to book a trip!

April / May 2018 Fishing Forecast
Hi this is Captain Chris Agardy with the Palm Beach County saltwater fishing forecast for April/May 2018. This time of year is the peak of our offshore/inshore fishing season due to massive schools of bait migrating along our deep sea dropoffs and intracoastal waterways. These schools of baitfish attract hungry predators such as mahi mahi, kingfish, blackfin tuna, cobia, snook, and tarpon. The 1 mile drop off will be our prime hunting grounds for offshore species, and we will be targeting them by trolling or kite fishing with live bait. Trolling typically catches greater numbers of fish, but live bait fishing is the way to go for anglers looking to catch bigger fish more consistently. Inshore, snook and tarpon are beginning to gather in great numbers along the beaches near Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Palm Beach inlets. We will target these predators by seeking out pods of sardines along the beach and intracoastal waterway. Live bait is very important for these two species, although savvy anglers can fool them with a fly rod or casting plugs/jigs. We have a couple cold fronts in the forecast that may delay Spring migrations until the end of April, but we have already started to see an improvement in fishing. If you are looking to get out there, give me a call and we can discuss planning your adventure!

What a great start to the 2018 New Year! Cold Fronts have been bringing West winds and calm seas, so we have been able to make it  1 to 2 miles offshore to catch sailfish, mahi mahi, wahoo, bonito, and barracuda.  Live Bait is the best bet for sailfish or bigger mahi, but most everything else has been caught trolling. When the cold fronts pass and the winds switch out of the East, the ocean is too rough, so we have been fishing the intracoastal waterway for jack crevalle, bluefish, and even snook. Tarpon have been tough to find but they could start showing if the water temps rise a little. We have been trolling or casting lures for the jacks and bluefish and using the live bait for snook and tarpon. Here are some recent notable catches:Â
11/29/17 Fishing Report: Sailfish, Kingfish, Barracuda, Bonito, Cero Mackerel
Here are some photos from last week’s charters during Thanksgiving holiday. We have been enjoying good fishing for sailfish, king mackerel, barracuda, bonito, and cero mackerel about 1 mile offshore. When the ocean is flat there have been reports of dolphin about 6 miles out. The wahoo fishing should be good this week during the full moon.
