Fort Lauderdale Shark Fishing

Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

Lately Fort Lauderdale shark fishing has been very productive. It's a bit late but the mating season is still going on and our area is a breeding ground for many species of sharks.
Sandbar sharks, often mistaken for Bull sharks, are quite prevalent right now. Found in shallow water, usually around wrecks, they are quite ready for an easy meal as we present it. While fishing for these, we often put out a bottom rod for snapper and grouper if they are around.
Other species are here as well. Tiger, Bull and some rare Hammerhead sharks are also making appearances. A Hammerhead it what is pictured above. These fish give quite the fight! With that big flat wing on their head, all they need to do is get their head down and kick with their tail a few times. Their power just peels the line off the reel.
Even the species of Hammerhead has a few varieties. The Scalloped, Smoothskin and Great Hammerheads are being seen. The4se fish are usually caught in deeper water but can be found anywhere at any time.
So if you're looking to catch a BIG fish, Fort Lauderdale shark fishing is filling that bill. Hope to see you soon.
Capt. Steve
