Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, what a great report I have for you guys this week was more like catching then fishing anyways for the report this week we will start inshore which is where the action has been! This week inshore KINGFISH has been super hot right now anywhere from 80-120 feet right off the coast of Fort Lauderdale has been the sweet spot if your looking for kingfish. Trolling seems to be the most productive technique with planers to take the bait down under the surface. Fresh mullet strips have been our go to bait, bonito strips are a good second choice if you don't have any mullet available. Also pink has been the hot color. Alot of the kings we have been catching have been alot bigger then the normal size we catch trolling the average fish has been anywhere from 15-20lbs. Mixed in with the kingfish has been a few bonito as well. Moving deeper the blackfin tuna bite remains to be pretty strong in the early mornings and late afternoons. 160-220 feet of water seems to be best in the early mornings and in the later afternoons 220-350 has been best. Trolling size fish have been anywhere from 3-15lbs but if your are going to use live bait and target tuna the tunas have been much bigger averaging around 20lbs and as big as almost 30lbs. For the offshore report mahi is still the hot topic, we did well on the mahi earlier in the week on a color change/edge in around 500 feet with plenty of seaweed and lots of bird activity on it. Lots of mahis I mean lots but not many keepers, although it is early in the season for mahi in our area it is a nice sign to see them this early already it is a great sign to come. I would imagine very soon to come the mahi will be back but it seems they took a break from earlier in the week. There has been a heavy tide edge just offshore the last few days with Northern gulfstream water but no weed lined up like it was a few days prior, but thats fishing things change daily. This week please take a chance to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters out of Fort Lauderdale and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like facebook and instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. Coming up here somewhat busy but still plenty of availability for the month of May so if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we would love for you to come out fishing with us and show you a great time on the water. May is one of the most consistent months for deep sea fishing here so definitely don't want to miss it! Capt. Vinnie

Boat and crew were great which made a big difference in an otherwise slower fishing season.

Take the full day of fishing. It is tiring, but gives you a much better chance of catching some nice fish.

Bring a sweatshirt and sunscreen. It is windy on the ocean. Also, it's pretty bouncy so if you have any motion sickness, take the meds ahead of time. No pressure on actually catching fish - enjoy the beautiful experience.

Book a full day trip to be able to get offshore and into some meat species. Our half day trip for my three sons and I was fine but if we wanted to get into heavier fishing we would have needed more time.

Remember to bring a motion sickness bracelet for anyone who has never been on a boat before , my son did get sick but didn't throw up, so next time we go on the boat we will be prepared for that. Other than that the trip was amazing and I would recommend it to everyone to try it.

Seek out a boat that you can have fun on and a captain who cares as much about his passengers and what they catch as he does about safety.
