Ending November With A Bang In Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, its been a great November this year some great weather and some great fishing as well. The fishing this week has been super good on some days and other days its been so tough just to get a bite. This time of year when fishing around all the cold fronts it can be very tough, it seems when the weather is steady for a few days in a row thats when the fishing picks up for the better, but when the winds are changing direction daily and the temps are changing it can be very frustrating to try and get some bites. For the report this week inshore seems to be where most of the action has been, early mornings have been giving a fair shot at a wahoo while trolling the depths from 180-250 feet of water. Majority of your wahoo bites are going to come under the surface so fishing with a planer to take the bait deeper in the water is going to give you that chance. The sailfish bite continues to be some what decent it has slowed down from what it was about a week ago but it should begin the pick up more as we approach December. Fishing live bait like ballyhoo has been the hot ticket for sailfish as well as some really nice mahi I mean really nice. This time of year is when we catch alot of our bigger mahis when I say bigger I mean over 15lbs. We caught one this week on live ballyhoo close to 30lbs! (pictured). Afternoons I would say is where the bite has been at, blackfin tunas have been making a good showing in the late afternoons eating trolling baits. Small squid lures as well as tuna feathers have been working great on the surface and small spoons fished on the planers have been getting alot of bites. The tunas have been biting best in depths from 250-350 feet. The best bite seems to be at that sunset hour. Last but not least something that has been super steady is snapper fishing, the vermillion snappers have been biting very well on some deeper bottom spots around 200 feet. Fresh bait like bonito chunks has been working the best. Some of the snappers we have been catching have been close to 5lbs. This week please be sure to check out some of our great photos of some recent catches 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. Hopefully starting off December we continue with the afternoon tuna bite as well as the sail fishing picking up again, the snappers should remain steady as long as the conditions allow for it. If your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we have availability for the month of the December and would love to show you a great day out on the water. more later...
