Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

The fishing off Fort Lauderdale continues to be very good despite the heat. Early morning fishing charters seem to be producing the most fish. With afternoon charters being fairly slow due to the heat. Daytime fishing has been producing lots of bonito and kingfish as well as a few mahi mahi and wahoo. Anywhere from 125-300 feet of water you will get the most action. Most mahi have been caught from 600 feet of water and out. Night fishing continues to be producing lots of yellow tail and mangrove snapper or also if you mutton snappers in the mix. Night time fishing is a great alternative to get out of the heat. Best areas have been 35-80 feet of water chumming heavily.

Here are some recent photos of what we have been catching...
