Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hey there, Capt. Vinnie back again with another Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing report. This week has been a little bit windy and the seas have been bigger then normal but the fishing has been just plain excellent. This time of year you want the windy conditions to make the fishing great and thats exactly what we have been having. The main focus lately has been mahi and we have been catching some nice ones at that. The average size has been around 12lbs and some have been has big as 20lbs. We recently have been having a nice tidal edge where the green outgoing intercoastal water meets the blue water of the gulfstream forming a current edge and the blue side has been where the mahi have been. Trolling down the blue side with surface baits out has been the ticket, its super important to watch your surface baits and keep them clean so you can maximize your chances. Birds like frigates have been contributing to our success as well, anytime you see birds diving the gamefish are not going to be to far away. Its always smart to keep your eyes peeled and your head on a swivel when fishing offshore you never know what you might see. Other then mahi there has been some wahoo if you are fishing some planers to take your bait under the surface that is going to put you right in the zone for a wahoo bite. Blue and white has been the go to color as well as pink and white. Certain fish feed below the surface and some feed on the surface, so using a planer helps to make everything in your trolling spread appeal to some sort of fish out there. Average size on the wahoo has been anywhere from 20-30lbs with some over 30lbs not being uncommon. Inshore wise the best bite has been kingfish, and a secret to getting the most bites on kingfish right now is using mullet strips. With the mullet run being in full effect now its always smart to match the hatch and use exactly what the fish are feeding on to bring you the most success. As you can see from our photos this week fishing has been excellent almost every trip, some days will be better the others but our average has been very good. We should start to see some sailfish action in another month or so i do believe we need another cold front or two that will cool the water temps down and get those fish heading south towards us. This week please take a minute 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 at Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. Coming up for the rest of the month of October and the beginning of November we have a good amount of available dates to get out fishing, this is one of the best times to go fishing here in Fort Lauderdale, and you don't want to miss it so if your heading down and looking to get out check out YB Normal. Servicing Fort Lauderdale, Dania beach, and Hollywood beach for all your deep sea fishing needs.
