Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, this week we had some great weather and finally some pretty great fishing, in my opinion anyways. This weeks report we will start on the reef where earlier in the week we had some windy conditions and still some what of a decent sailfish bite, anywhere from 130-200 feet seems to be the best area right now to target sailfish, live bait is a must! Kite fishing with live mullet and live goggle eyes was our bait of choice, other then sailfish there still has been a few stray kingfish with live bait. The hot bite has been the afternoons for balckfin tuna, earlier in the week we had some really pretty blue water right off the coast of fort Lauderdale and some pretty strong northern currents and that is a great recipe for balckfin tuna. Majority of our bites have been on the deep lines but we have been doing fairly well on a small tuna feather fished way back on the Captains highline rod and that has been doing very well. Tuna are very shy of boats and usually the further away from the boat you fish your lines the more bites you get. Average size on the tuna this week have been a little bigger then normal around 10lbs or so. We did manage to get the needle in the hay stack this week and Catch a beautiful wahoo around 35lbs (pictured). Larger wahoo like that are eating the blackfin tuna and if they come across your bait odds are you will get the bite. Afternoons always seem to be best for tuna but we have been catching some in the early mornings as well. In the mornings the tuna have been deeper in depths around 400 feet but in the afternoon 200 feet seems to be the magic number. Bottom fishing this week has been solid we didn't do much of it because the tunas have been biting but the days that we did we were successful. Vermillion snappers was the primary catch with an occasional porgy, most of the bottom fishing spots around 300 feet have been the most consistent specially for the larger snappers around 3-4lbs. This week please take a look at some of the great photos we have of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like facebook and instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. For this week coming up we have some great weather, I'm hopeful for the tuna to be a consistent thing for the next few weeks as well as a few wahoo around with the full moon we have coming up, we did have a cold front just come through last night so that did slow the fishing down a little but I would imagine here in the next few days for something to break like I always say when you have steady conditions patterns form and that seems to be what we have coming up. If your coming to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we have availability for the rest of the month of march and we would love to put you on some fish and show you a great time on the water. More later... Capt. Vinnie (954)-559-4700
