Fishing in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale fishing charters open up a world of options. Calm canals, remote reefs, and even the warm currents of the Gulf Stream are within easy reach of the city. Local captains make the most of all of this, with trips to suit every group.
 
The main targets inshore are Snook and Tarpon. Both fish put up a real fight, making them a favorite of fly fishers and sporting anglers. Farther out, you can bottom fish for Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and more around the reefs. All these fish are here year-round, but the best time to target them is in the summer.
 
Finally, the bluewaters. Most charters in Fort Lauderdale specialize in trolling and kite fishing offshore. Sailfish, Tuna, Marlin, and more tag each other out throughout the year. Sailfish are great in winter and spring, Marlin peak in summer. In the fall, Swordfishing is all the rage. Whenever you visit, you can hook a monster. 
 
Inshore charters fish calm waters right in town, while reef fishing trips head into the ocean. Both are great for beginners, but young kids may be better off inshore. Deep sea charters are designed for seasoned anglers. If you’re after big Billfish, you’re best off on a full day charter. However, the sea gets deep so quickly that all these trips are available as half or full days. That’s part of what makes Fort Lauderdale special.

Rules & Regulations

You don’t need a fishing license on saltwater charters in Fort Lauderdale. You do need one to target freshwater species like Bass, though. Be aware that Snook are release-only from December 15 to January 31 and June 1 to August 3. Most Grouper species are protected between January 1 and April 30. Lastly, Tarpon are catch-and-release all year round.

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Seasons

January

January may be Fort Lauderdale's coldest month, but the fishing is hot. Often, the worse the weather, the better the fishing. Windy conditions get Sailfish biting like crazy. Swordfishing can be very good.

February

February is the month of the Wahoo in Fort Lauderdale. This means fast trolling and faster action. Look out for Blackfin Tuna 'busting' schools of baitfish over reefs and make the most of the awesome Sailfish bite.

March

Spring is Fort Lauderdale's best fishing season. Troll, bottom fish over shipwrecks, fish over the reefs with live bait - everything is biting. Mahi Mahi arrive close to shore when the east winds blow. Kingfish and Amberjack are caught at the reefs.

April

The great spring bite continues, with wreck fishing getting better and better. Mahi Mahi are biting extremely well in relatively shallow water (200-300 ft). The rougher the weather, the better the fishing for this species.

May

Mahi Mahi continue to bite within a few miles of the coast, with Blackfin Tuna also red hot. Amberjacks are caught over wrecks in waters 200-300 ft deep. This is usually the beginning of the open Grouper season.

June

The reefs are the place to go at this time of year. Catch Kingfish and Tuna here as well as Bonito, which are migrating along the coastline. This is also one of the best times to catch Sharks in Fort Lauderdale.

July

The weather heats up, but that doesn't put a stop to the fishing. This is one of the best months for Snapper and Grouper fishing, particularly at night. Trolling for Bonito and Kingfish over the reefs is very successful.

August

The seas are calm and tranquil, with surface temperatures being very hot. This makes deep drop fishing offshore a very good choice, with deeper dwelling fish being less affected by the temperature change further up.

September

Temperatures usually start to cool by the end of the month, inviting a greater number of surface fish. Sailfish might start showing up, with Kingifsh still being active over the reefs. Tarpon is great inshore.

October

As the weather transitions to Fall, winds tend to pick up. This brings pelagics closer to shore, with fishing for Mahi Mahi and Sailfish being very good, and a great variety of pelagics biting over the reefs.

November

Sailfish start to settle in earnest nearshore, chasing schools of mullet through Fort Lauderdale's famous 'Sailfish Alley'. Bottom fishing for Snapper and Grouper is excellent, with a host of species crowding the reefs.

December

Winter is not something that should put you off fishing in Fort Lauderdale. You can expect a good bite from Sailfish and Mahi Mahi nearshore, with Tuna, Wahoo, Cobia, and Amberjack around the reefs.

Know charter times are from dock to dock.. meaning it may take 15 to to 45 minutes to get out of marina into open water then to fishing spot .. Most before u get to inlet is all no wake .. then u still have to get to fishing grounds so a 4 hr trip may be 3 hrs of fishing

Our family had an awesome time with Captain Colton and Hector from Get Reel! They set everything up and made it fun and easy for our kids to catch some big fish! Would highly recommend them for family fishing trips!

Checked off our bucket list item with Cap Dave! What an amazing adventure. From bait fishing to catching a huge amber jack and then Cubera all within the first hour. When you have the captain screaming in excitement and coming down to take pictures, you know you have a good catch! Dave and his crew are knowledgeable, welcoming and perfect for a family experience in deep waters.

The bite was slow but the captain and mates were awesome guys to be around. Very informational and just all around genuine guys. Ended up with a trophy barracuda for a final fish! Thanks again, highly recommend.

My wife is an avid fishing person and had never been sport fishing before. So, for her birthday, we booked a sport fishing trip with SoFlo fishing and Captain Dave. The conditions were tough and the water was rough and they tried many different approaches and methods before helping my wife catch a barracuda and a black fin tuna. Needless to say my wife had a great birthday! Thanks Captain Dave and first mate Jeff for a great evening out on the boat! Chris K

My trip to Florida had a rough start but getting to go out and get on some peacock bass was the highlight, it was absolutely fantastic and the crew is great and personable, I can’t speak enough on how much fun and great it was

Colton and Hector went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible experience! We caught barracuda and bonitas — it was an absolute blast. We had our two boys with us, and they were amazing with them — super patient, helpful, and full of guidance. Both were incredibly professional and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re looking to book a charter, these guys should be your top choice. We had an unforgettable time!

Coming from an avid fisherman Family♥️🌈, and our first time trying peacocks on the East Coast, this was a fantastic trip. Jake was a phenomenal guide, great personality, and definitely knows his stuff. We caught probably 40 fish on our trip, and never had a dead Time. I would highly recommend him if you want to get on some fast and consistent action. We will definitely be coming back in the fall. Thanks Captain Jake!

Logan and Jack are great. They really know their stuff and work perfect together. They are also very personable and kept us engaged throughout the whole trip. Jack and Logan would definitely be the ones we'd ask for on our next trip. They cared about the time we were having, had a ton of knowledge about the industry and the area, and really went the extra mile to make sure we had a memorable experience.....thank you so much Logan and Jack!
