Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hey there, Capt. Vinnie here with another great deep sea fishing report for you guys, but first id like to take a second and wish everyone a happy Memorial Day. Now time for the fishing, so for this week it has been a some what windy week here in south Florida but i believe this is the weather we needed to get the fishing back to where it was. Earlier in the week we had a good catch of mahi mahi offshore that were caught on scattered weed lines, but as it got later in the week they seem to have been hard to come by in numbers, the only mahi we are seeing right now are just solo fish or ones and twos. The size has been excellent with most mahi around 5-8lbs and a few larger in the mix. I would imagine we would start to see some more mahi action as we get closer towards the summer. Next species that was good this week was kingfish. This year has been a tricky one on kingfish some days there here and other days they have been hard to come by, but this week we were picking at them the whole week. Majority of our bites have been shallow or just on the edge of the reef in depths around 100 feet or so. All of our kingfish bites have been coming on our down lines or lines under the surface. Blue and white sea witches have been our go to color this week because there has been a surplus of flying fish in the area and that color combination matches them the best. The kingfish have been nice sized average fish close to 10lbs. Next on the list this week is blackfin tuna, which have been very prevalent anyhwere from 300-180 feet of water and have been biting surface and below surface baits. For some reason this week morning trips have been good but afternoons have been better for tuna, which probably has to do with the tides. They have been mixed sized anywhere from 5-15lbs with a few larger fish too. 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 @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. All in all this week the fishing has improved from what it was, even though it has been a little rough with the heavy winds we have been having some great catches. It looks like for the week coming up that the wind is going to settle down a bit and the ocean will be calmer then it has been, should make for some more great fishing. If your thinking about heading down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing now is a great time to get out while the fishing is hot. Hope to see you soon and show you a great day on the water... more later...
