Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

The fishing off of Fort Lauderdale has been quite good the past few weeks with calm weather and crystal clear water, there has been some good bottom fishing for black grouper as well as a few vermillion snappers on the local ship wrecks. However trolling has not been as productive as I would like to see, but using live bait has been the key to produce quality fish as of late. There has been a good amount of sailfish around as well as a few kingfish and the occasional wahoo. Fishing should begin to pick up even better as we approach the New Year. Here are some pictures of what we have been catching the past few weeks. More later...
