Winter time cold fronts are known for pushing sailfish, south. Other fish will also follow along as bait fish move in large numbers. Lately,we have seen such activity and do expect it to continue till around April. If you're looking to schedule the perfect getaway then pick the days following a cold front. This allows the fish to become stimulated and it's more likely to find them while they are moving and hungry rather than stationary. Expect blackfin tuna and mackerel to follow along the same lines as the sailfish, in depths of 100ft or even less. Capt Matt Fann

The later summer months offer calm seas off the fort Lauderdale coastline and the deep waters offer a quicker access to the Gulfstream then the keys or north Florida. That being said, the mahi-mahi are being found just a few miles out. Sea weed or other floating debris can be a hunting ground for these fish and are what we look for on the surface. Mahi are often caught trolling and live bait is not entirely necessary. Wahoo are also found near these floating objects! The summer time offer the warmest waters and the Gulfstream often flows the hardest. This gives an advantage as many migratory fish will be heading south ahead of the winter push.
