Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report-
April and May 2007
Our spring fishing season is here and has
brought with it some of our best offshore action this year for Ft.
Lauderdale fishing. Sailfish continue to be in our waters in reasonable
numbers. Not as many as in January or February, but still in attendance.
Larger schools of Dolphin (Dorado, Mahi Mahi) are moving south just outside
the outer reef line. Large schools of Bonita with occasional Blackfin Tuna
are working numerous minnow pods from 60ft. out to 600ft. Cobia are being
caught on an almost daily basis.
The days just before and
after April and May full moons offer chances at some of the biggest Kings we
will see all year. Amberjacks are now on the offshore fishing wrecks and
swordfish are a good bet for deep sea fishing offshore.
The spring (southbound)
shark migration is in full swing. Hammerheads, Makos and Threshers are being
caught on surface fished baits as well as bottom and mid depth baits..
Hammerheads are seen often “tailing” on the surface of Fort Lauderdale now.
Most are 150lbs. but some exceed 300lbs. and a couple of 500 pounders have
been caught. If you want a big fish, this is the time for Ft. Lauderdale
fishing with the sharks as the target species.
Predictable weather and
ocean conditions along with good fishing make this our favorite time of year
for Fort Lauderdale fishing. Sword fish, sharks, Dolphin, Kings, Sailfish,
ect are ALL available.
