Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing is good, and the weather has co-operated

The fishing has been good. Lots of Bonitos, King Mackerel are all over the reef. Just trolling a 3 ½ drone spoon behind the planer is working great.

There were a few Mahi-mahi (Dolphin fish) around the past week. Two weeks before that we couldn’t buy one. The Easterly winds have blown quite a few in close to the reefs.

There have been a few Sharks around the wrecks and the Amberjacks are few and far between.

The Swordfishing has been excellent. We caught two over 200 lbs last week and released a couple of smaller fish. All the other boats out there have seen plenty of action.

Last week a charter caught and released a 450lb plus Goliath grouper

All the kids are back in school and we have the whole ocean and all the fish, all to ourselves.

LETS GO FISHING!
