The Bite Is On

Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
If you are looking for fish to bend the rod, you should be fishing right now! The bite is on here in south Florida. Mahi-mahi, Tuna, Kingfish and others are bending our rods with frequency. And all this action has been within a few miles of shore.
While I try to spin whatever we're catching into good news, I don't have to work at it this month. The picture above is from our Southwest Airline group. Each year they come for their annual get together and always need fish for their fish fry on the last evening. They won't go hungry this year, that's for sure.
Kings and Bonitos, along with some Tuna are mixed in the reef area. Depending on the water color, Mahi-mahi and Wahoo may also be there. But that's not all we've been getting. A few sharks and Sails have been mixed in as well. Most of these fish are being caught trolling.
And after all the time I've been doing this, I still get a thrill when someone catches a Sail and says they can scratch that off their bucket list. It just makes me smile as it did with this gentleman and his prize.
If you are looking for action, for edible fish or just to bend the rod, now is the time. The bite is on!
