Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hello everyone, Capt. Vinnie here. Its been a super busy week for us here, lots of deep sea fishing charters and we are very grateful for all of our customers. For the report this week it sure seems like things have slowed down a bit from what it was a few weeks ago and thats normal. Fishing goes through a lot of ups and downs throughout the year. Its not always going to be great fishing just like its not always going to be slow fishing either. The weather patterns play a big role in fishing and it seems like right now we are in a transition period where things are moving towards spring from winter. Fishing wise sailfish is still the hot topic right now in Fort Lauderdale, the days that we have been having steady winds from the east have been the better conditions for fishing lately. Kite fishing with live bait still remains in my opinion the best way to produce fish but some days have been better then others. Trolling has been decent lately but it has been producing a variety of different species but not to many of one type. Kingfish, blackfin tuna, barracuda, mahi mahi are a few of the types of fish that have been biting via trolling. There is a full moon coming up this week so there could be a few opportunities for wahoo so be on the look out for that is next weeks report. Last but not least anchor fishing on the reef for species like yellowtail snapper has been very good when the conditions allow for it. The best winds for that type of fishery is going to be light winds from the east or south and northern current to take your chum right down the reef, we had a great trip this week doing that type of fishing catching 40 yellowtail snappers. Yellowtail snapper is one of the best eating snapper that we have available here in Fort Lauderdale and is a favorite of the florida keys as well. This week please take a minute to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters 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 the month of March i would imagine we are going to see the fishing overall as a whole pick up. Larger tuna should be in the mix as well as kingfish showing up too. Looking like for the week ahead there is going to be some steady wind from the southeast at around 15-20mph that should be just what we need to jumpstart the fishing i have big hopes for this week. Time will tell. As for the month of March spots are filling up quickly but there are still a good amount of spots available, so if your heading down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing look us up we would love to show you a great time on the water. More Later....
