Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report-
January 2007
January has brought South
Florida fishing some of the cooler weather that we have been waiting for.
Repeated cold fronts are pushing game fish through our area more and more as
we get further into our winter sport fishing mind set. Nice sized Dorado
(Dolphin) are moving through just offshore and on top of our barrier reefs.
Most of these fish are around 10 lbs., but some reaching the mid 20’s and
higher.
Sailfish are now being
encountered regularly, especially closely behind the cold fronts pushing
through. The smaller Sailfish e were catching with regularity in November
and December have moved on and we are now catching much larger fish. It was
fun catching the smaller Sails, and we and our clients enjoyed these
perfectly formed little guys, but the full grown adults are here now and
offering our charters a more formidable game fish challenge.
King Mackerel fishing is
erratic, with many Kings being very small. Snapper fishing is productive
when current conditions allow us to target them in 300’ depths that they
prefer. Some nice Warsaw Grouper are in amongst these snappers. Various
species of Jacks are also being taken on the deep wrecks.
Sword fishing offshore is
good, but wind conditions have limited the nights we can go, More and more
“open ocean” sharks are being taken now when water temps and currents are
right, as the as the early part of their annual migration has begun.
Happy New Year
