Fort Lauderdale Fishing report Mid-Oct. 2008

As we arrive in the middle of October our fishing is on the slower side. Kingfish are here in good numbers but the full moon has affected the bite heavily. Strong onshore winds should make for good Dolphin fishing, but again the moon has come into play, causing these fish to be very picky about their diet as of late. We found a few yesterday after seeing them showering Bally-hoo in 40 feet of water. These fish were very aggressive and it was nice to see some active fish. Pitch bait was the ticket as these fish were moving quickly to the south from one bait school to another once we intercepted them.

The Kings we are catching are in about 200 feet the last few days. Very light leaders are recommended to get the finicky full moon bite. Wahoo which usually bite well on the moon have been scattered. There are a few Sailfish out in roughly 500 feet.
There is a large amount of bait in our area now and this will mean better chances for success once the moon phase changes over the course of the next few days.

Tight lines & good fishing /Always beats a day in the office
