Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, this week has been a busy one lots of fishing and some catching too, for the report this week starting offshore there has been a pretty good showing of mahi mahi. It is a little early in the season for mahi here but they have showed up, now as far as size thats a different story most have been undersize but if you weed through the smaller ones you will find some keeper size. There has been a wicked color change offshore with big mats of seagrass, some days there are frigate birds on the color chance too if you find it when the birds are there your guaranteed to get bites. Also while offshore on a current edge its smart to troll a bait under the surface incase of wahoo. Moving inshore kite fishing with live bait has yielded the best results, it has been windy and rough pretty much everyday last week so bottom fishing and trolling have been out. Kite fishing with live bait like goggle eyes and mullet have been producing some sailfish as well as some smoker kings. The best bite in my opinion was shallow around 120 feet of water. Trolling has been pretty consistent right now on the days its calmer for fish like kingfish and tuna. Most of the kingfish have been shallow in depths around 100 feet and our deeper lines fished with planers have been getting the most bites. The tunas bite has been some what decent this week as well. The mornings have been producing less bites on the tuna but bigger size and the afternoons have been producing more bites but smaller fish. This week please be sure to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters out of Fort Lauderdale and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like facebook and instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. Coming up for this week looks like some great weather on the horizon, fishing has been pretty steady as well, obviously its fishing and nothing is guaranteed, but for the most part we have been making something happen. Having a showing of mahi this early in the season I believe is a great sign of things to come hopefully in about another month majority will be keeper size. Kingfish should start to make there way and be very abundant as well. We also should start to see our larger blackfin tunas making there way to us too. For the rest of the month of April we have some availability so if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we would love to show you great time on the water. more later......
