Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

Report week of 12/31 - 1/06

It got cold down here in Florida last week and that should mean great sailfishing. Well someone forgot to tell the sailfish because they really disapeared. On the last front we were getting at least 4 sails on a trip and with this last really cold front that went down to 1 a trip. Luckily the kingfish have made a good showing, with most fish on the small side but enough bigger fish in the mix to keep things going. Smaller dolphin have been around with most also being small but a few bigger ones thrown in. Cobias have been around and should only get better with time. We saw our first Manta Ray yesterday and even though no cobias were spotted that is the first sign that they should come through soon.

This week I am fishing the Jupiter Billfish Tournament followed by a couple of local charter days. Next week I have a three day trip to the Bahamas weather permitting so I will report again when I get back.
