Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

Hello everyone, this weeks fishing in Fort Lauderdale has been hit and miss some days better then others but there has still been a few quality fish to catch if you are lucky. This week trolling has been somewhat productive for fish like blackfin tuna and sailfish, working the depths from 160 on out to 350 feet has been where most of the trolling action has been. Strip baits have been giving us the best success lately fished on the surface for fish like sailfish and on the deeper lines using planners for the black fin tuna. Recently we just came off of a full moon so there has been some wahoo around which I would say is probably the best fish that you could catch right now. Another successful fishing technique has been kite fishing with live bait, this is the primary way to target sailfish right now but while fishing with live bait that opens doors to catch a variety of different predator species. We have been catching some larger king fish with live bait up to 30lbs as well as sailfish. The shark fishing has began to improve with the most of the catch being hammerheads and sandbar sharks with some exotic sharks in the mix like this tiger shark "pictured" that we recently caught and released. All in all some days have been better then others but thats fishing not everyday is going to be a slay fest you have to take what the ocean gives you and even a slow day of fishing can turn around in minutes. Right now there is a cold front sitting on us for the next few days and it seems this time of year that when you have steady conditions for a few days in a row thats what makes the fishing very very good so this week I was presume we are going to have some great fishing coming up here, specially for sailfish. Anyways this week please be sure to check out some of the recent photos of some fish caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters including and underwater photo of a tiger shark. Also if you get a chance give us a like and follow on social media platforms like facebook and instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing and you can see what we are catching day to day. Looks like some great weather for the week we have availability as well so if your looking to do some deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale we would love to have you.
