Dec 22, 2023 Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale / Miami Inshore Fishing Report. Winds this week from 15-30mph not much rain and great cloud cover. Temps dropping to 60s at night. Night fishing for tarpon. As the cooler temps roll in so do the big tarpon. This week weโ€™ve moved a bit south to the north Miami area in search of large schools of hungry tarpon. Finding them around bridges, inlets and deep water basins in the ICW. Fishing with a mix of live Mullet and Live Shrimp has been doing the trick. Fishing a few baits on bottom and a few up on top, spreading out and taking a slow approach to these large schools of fish pays off this week. Had a few great clients out on the boat and the weather cooperated as well. Most bites were right around sunset and into the early evening as the wind died down and the tides picked up. Get out there with the largest size shrimp you can find a catch a few smaller sized mullet and you will be in the running for a few of these 70-100lb tarpon.

Fishing during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show can be difficult, but with a little patience you can find some quality fish. Even with all the boat traffic thereโ€™s still a good amount of bait hanging around at the usual spots and the tarpon and snook still gotta eat. Heavy winds and mega yachts kicked up the inlet to an almost unfishable condition but just inside we found some calmer waters to concentrate on. Falling tides made for some good action on tarpon and sunset was the perfect time to land this beautiful snook on live mullet. Take your time, move around, be patient and that work will pay off. Donโ€™t let the boat show get you down! Get out here and land that trophy.
