OCT FISHING OFF FORT LAUDERDALE WOW
OCT FISHING OFF FORT LAUDERDALE WOW
October 1, 2025
• Fort Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Report – October Wow, wow, wow — what a month for fishing in Fort Lauderdale! The mahi mahi showed up a little late this year, but when they did, they came in thick and hungry. We’ve been catching beautiful gaffer-size mahi, ranging from 8 to 15 pounds — an unexpected pleasure for this time of year. The sailfish are starting to show up strong too, mostly in 170 to 200 feet of water. Lately, we’ve even been spotting them chasing ballyhoo in the shallows — a great sign that sailfish season in Fort Lauderdale is just getting started. Even more exciting, we found mahi mahi feeding in under 100 feet of water! Casting live bait to them in the shallows has made for some incredible light-tackle action and unforgettable fishing days. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous — calm seas, clear blue water, and air temperatures between 67° and 75°F. No hurricanes for us this year, but it looks like the storms that passed through the Caribbean pushed plenty of fish our way. All in all, October was a fantastic month for deep sea fishing off Fort Lauderdale. Looking ahead, November should bring red-hot sailfishing and a good shot at wahoo as well. The water temps and conditions are lining up perfectly for an amazing winter bite. If you’re ready to experience the action, come fish with us aboard Hooked Up, one of the top-rated Fort Lauderdale fishing charters. Whether you’re after mahi mahi, sailfish, wahoo, or just a great day on the water, we’ll make sure you have an unforgettable trip. Go To FISHING Booker AND Book your Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing trip today — the fish are here and the bite is on!

The water was rough but i do not experience motion sickness. If you are new to deep sea fishing i would definitely suggest motion sickness meds prior to your trip.

If you’re not sure about sea sickness, take a Dramamine the night before and then again a good 1-2 hours before the trip. We wore long sleeve shirts with SPF protection, they worked really well.

Playtime fishing is great. Boat and crew were awesome. The fishing was fun and never know what you will reel in. Close to shore so not a long boat ride. Try it and have fun

Be flexible and don’t hesitate to fish inshore. You may have more bites, especially when the wind blows.

Had pretty good success for a 3 hour trip in the middle of the day. I am sure morning or night would have been better, but it worked great with kids and our schedule.

I was told spring is the best but we also enjoyed our late summer trip. I’m not sure there is a season we wouldn’t enjoy.

Know your body. I wonder if we had gone out a little later without being in the peak of the day, if I would have gotten as sick as I did. The Florida sun is a bear

Manage your expectations. Remember that it's called "fishing" and not "catching". The captain can get us out on the water, but he can't control the fish or the weather. Bring plenty of water. If get motion sickness, take some Dramamine at least 2 hours before.
