April/ 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.

Let’s go fishing
