Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here... This week we seem to be getting a good dose of Fall fishing right now in Fort Lauderdale, wahoos, sailfish, kings, and some gaffer dolphin all right on the edge. So this week for the report on the inshore side of things just on the edge of the reef there has been a solid bite of kingfish right now. Live baiting as well as trolling with planners has been very effective from around 80 feet on out to 140 feet has been the best area to stay in if your looking for kingfish. The best bait believe it or not has been mullet strips, with the schools of mullet that have just passed by thats what the fish are keyed in on and if you can match your bait to exactly what the fish are eating your giving yourself a very good chance to get bites. Other then kingfish there has been a few stray mahi here and there in the shallows chasing ballyhoo showers. Moving offshore is where the action has been, earlier in the week there was a nice tide edge in around 450 feet offshore where green water would meet the dark blue water of the gulfstream. Right on the edge there was a nice weed line with some floating debris and that's where the mahi action was and some really nice sized ones at that. Trolling down the blue side of the edge with surface baits was the hot ticket for sure and mixed in with the mahi was some nice sized skipjack tunas, most of the tunas were caught on our lines fished with planners under the surface. We also did manage to get a really nice wahoo this week on this edge (pictured) on a mullet strip fished on a planner. The last few days that tidal edge has blended together and is no longer but kite fishing has been pretty productive as of late with some sailfish action. Bait selection has been tough right now due to all the wind lately but we have been able to cast net some live mullet in the intercostal and we have been using them in the kite catching all of the above as well as a really cool tiger shark (pictured). The sailfish action right now is just starting and should begin to pick up as we approach our winter season. This week please be sure to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. For the rest of the week looks like we are at the mercy of the wind for now but there will be a few days we should be able to get out there, some days are better then others lately but this time of year usually produces some really quality fish, so stay tuned for future reports with some awesome pictures. Up coming for the month of November we have availability so if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we would love to show you a great time on the water...
