Hello everyone, Capt. Vinnie here. This weeks report is a good one, we have had a little mix of everything somewhat biting right off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. On the reef trolling as been somewhat consistent on days and other days its been very tough. Trolling with baits below the surface using a planner has been the best way to get bites regularly, the hot lure has been a 2.5inch silver spoon. A smaller spoon appeals to a lot of different predator fish like bonitos, king mackeral and tuna. A pink and white seawitch has been a good choice as well. Depths around 150-200 has been the most consistent and early mornings and late evenings has been the best window to catch fish. Bottom fishing this week has been very good, we have had excellent conditions for things like yellowtail snapper as well as deep water bottom fishing for species like yellow eye, and vermillion snapper. When the current is strong anchoring up in water as shallow as 30 feet has been producing nice sized yellowtail snappers. Most important about fishing in shallow like that is to have plenty of chum. If you run out of chum the snappers will not stay. Yellow tail snapper is one of the most popular fish in the Florida keys for dinner, almost every restaurant down there will have this fish as a special for the nights dinner. Yellowtail snapper is one of the best snappers for eating. Now you can't always fish for them the conditions have to aline just like every specific style of fishing. Deep water bottom fishing has been great as long as the tides are at a minimum when the current is to strong its very difficult to be able to position the boat over a spot and be affective at that style of fishing, conditions play a big part in bottom fishing in order to maximize it. Moving offshore there has been some really nice mahi mahi but your going to need to have an all day fishing charter to reach them, they been anywhere from 10-15miles offshore. The best advice I can give is to look for birds they will always be the best hint you can get, but don't ever pass up floating debris and nice weed lines as well. Your going to want to bring live bait with you offshore if you happen to get into a school of mahi you have something to cast to them. This week please be sure to take a look at some of the great photos of some recent catches that were caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters in Fort Lauderdale, remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like facebook and instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. Coming up for the rest of June I would hope to see some more mahi as well as some afternoons tunas. I believe the bonitos will remain very steady throughout the summer months as well as the kingfish too. If your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to go deep sea fishing we would love to have you out with us and show you a great time out on the water. Capt. Vinnie
