Fresh Lauderdale Marina Fishing Reports

December Fishing has been good for us so far. Sailfish are finally showing up. Then the mix there has been Kingfish, some mahi-mahi still around and blackfin Tuna’s later in the afternoon. The wahoo bite has been good around the full moons. It’s looking good for December’s fishing. Hope to see you guys out there with us.

In the past few weeks, I have come across something that I consider a very good sign. Small sailfish!!! Over the many years I have been a professional fisherman, seasons that start with a run of smaller sized fish, end up being great seasons. Sailfish are a very fast growing fish, just like mahi. They are known for growing around 4ft in length in their first year! In the weeks gone by, I've caught quite a few smaller sized fish that indicate we've had a large spawn of fish. Now with a few cold fronts to push the bait south and a little current, we could see high numbers indeed! Last week, we tried pulling live ballyhoo around which is one of my favorite methods over kite fishing and we managed to raise over 7 sailfish in an hour. Later that day, during our afternoon trip, we raised a few more, only this time it was on dead bait while trolling! Very exciting stuff! If you're planning a fishing trip, follow the cold front patterns and try to book a trip with a minimum of 4hrs, 6 being optimal. See you soon, Capt Matt.
