Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Report for past week 12/24-30
Sailfish remain strong on the reef. Up to 16 shots in a day have been had if you stay on the fish all day. Find the north current and find the fish. Small kingfish have been on the reef as well but most fish are on the smaller side. We should get some bigger fish in the shallows to show up and stay soon. There have still been a few wahoo around though they seem to have remained elusive for us. Small dolphin have been around and occasionally are too small to swallow the goggle eyes that we have been using for bait.
Swordfishing remains strong both day an night. We daytime fished and had a bite on every drop. On our daytime trip we didn't have the whole day to fish but ended up catching one small fish and pulling several others off. It was too bad we couldn't continue because boats fishing around us ended up catching bigger fish as the day went on. Nighttime remains consistent with our winter fish always slightly bigger than the summer fish.
On the reef the bottom fishing has picked up with some nice muttons and groupers being caught on the last moon. On a two hour fun non-charter trip this past thursday we caught numerous amberjacks, albie(not a usual tuna for us), kingfish, runners, lizard fish, yellow jack and a suprise 25lb. Warsaw grouper. There have also been a few cobias coming off the wrecks which should be more often as winter progresses. Bottom fishing is really fun as you never know what is going to pop up. Fishing the wrecks give you constant action all day
