Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

Hello everyone, Capt. Vinnie here this weeks report is right on with whats going on in the Fort Lauderdale area so here we go... So this week fishing has been somewhat pretty good, some days are fairly easy to catch fish and other days you really have to work at it to make things happen. We recently just has a tropical storm come through the area and all the rain has hurt the fishing somewhat, there has been alot of freshwater out where we have been fishing and most pelagic fish do not like that one bit. Most of our bites have been on our deeper lines fished on planners, our surface baits haven't had much luck as of late due to the freshwater, but for the most part fishing has been good. Morning trips have had excellent weather flat calm ocean and light breeze. Afternoons on the other hand seems like your at the mercy of the thunderstorms, some days it never rains and other days we have hard rain and lots of lighting and thunder. Morning trips have been producing nice sized kingfish as well as some bonito and the occasional wahoo. Blackfin tuna have been very hit and miss as of late and I think that has alot to do with the freshwater around but we have had some very good days fishing for them and then we have had some days that are slower then others. As far as a mahi report there has been mahi mahi around but they are far offshore so you are going to need a longer trip to target them. Afternoons we have been doing a very good amount of bottom fishing and it has been good, vermillion snapper have been prevalent on alot of the deep bottom spots we fish off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, we have also been catching a few snowy groupers as well as an occasional red snapper and porgy, also in the afternoons that it doesn't rain seems the tunas are biting fairly well. All in all there is still lots of options of different fish to target and lots of things to catch, one thing that I'm looking forward to is mahi mahi which should be becoming very prevalent in the next few weeks so stay tuned for that. Be sure to check out some of the great pictures we have this week of some great catches during our deep sea fishing charters, also give us a follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. Pretty busy week ahead for us so should have another report soon. More later... Capt. Vinnie 954 559 4700
