Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
We have been having a week of wind and then a week off, but the fishing has been hot no matter the conditions. Sailfish have continued to move through with at least one fish coming on each of our charters. Sails have been coming off the flatlines and kites on both sardines and goggle eyes.
Filling the time the dolphin fishing has been phenominal, especially on the east wind. Most of the fish are in the 7-12lb range and a few bigger fish up to the low twenties are being caught every day. Most of the action on the dolphin have been in th deeper range but the bigger ones are being caught shallower for us.
Once you go shallower the kingfish have been numerous. We have only been catching a few each charter as most of our kite fishing has been without wire, to keep the finiky sails biting. The kingfish have been in the 7-15lb range.
On the wrecks and natural bottom there are still some gag grouper around if you can get them past the sharks. The ajs are on the deeper wrecks as well as cobias when you can get past the ajs.
Have not swordfished the past couple of weeks do to the wind and working the miami boat show but I'm sure there are still a few fish to be caught if the conditions allow.
