Fort Lauderdale Charter Fishing/ Fishing the Holidays

Capt. John Logan
February 14, 2012
Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

Charter fishing in Fort Lauderdale between Christmas and New Year is always busy and this year has been no different. So please accept my apology for only one blog/ fishing report for this time period. We have been going nonstop!
Early in the week, fishing was better but the seas were something to contend with. The fish seem to feed better when there are a few waves and while fishing wasn't great, it did suffice our guests with some fish for the plate and a few big ones too.
The Mahi are still around but in reduced numbers. We also had some limited Kingfish action as well. But one of the disappointing parts of this week was the Sailfish action. We had a cold… excuse me to our northern readers, a cool front come through and fishing actually slowed down a bit after it passed. This brought us to mid-week and fishing became tough in all categories. This is not the norm.
While we did struggle, we had some good catches none the less, not in quantity but in quality. Sharks made a brief appearance and a 8.5' was captured by Sam and his dad Jeff. Another was landed the same trip by Rory. I think I wrote about that already though. Can you tell I'm tired? LOL
But what HAS been fun were the last few days. We've had some great success catching Wahoo; the largest is pictured here with Carlos. Carlos's son was aboard and tried fighting this fish, but at age 7 he was a bit over matched. Once dad had landed the fish, 7 year old Marcel informed me that his dad was the BEST fisherman ever. Would you expect less from a son? 
