Holiday Fishing In Fort Lauderdale

Hello everyone, Capt. Vinnie here. What a great week we had over the thanksgiving holiday lots of great people and some pretty great fishing as well. For the report this week we will start off inshore where most of the action has been taking place. Since we are moving more towards are winter time fishing conditions that means its about time to put the trolling stuff away and break out the live baiting gear. Kite fishing for sailfish is just starting to heat up and we have been catching a few big ones. Whenever we have the right conditions here in Fort Lauderdale kite fishing with live bait can be one of the coolest things you might ever see. Live baits of choice have been live mullet but goggle eyes are also a great choice. Other then sailfish we have been getting shots at nice kingfish, wahoo and some mahi mahi. All this action has been taking place less then 1 mile of the coast in about 120-200 feet of water. Like i said earlier trolling is getting ready to come to the end for now, but if your looking for species like tuna, the bite on them has been excellent lately but in the afternoon time. Now this time of year the blackfin tuna are not going to be the biggest in size but thats ok, because even if they are smaller they still taste great. Trolling depths from 200-400 feet of water with smaller baits like spoons or just plain squid skirts are going to be the best way to get the bites. The most important key i think is trolling faster and when you get a bite do not slow the speed down, slowing down will not allow you to hook multiple fish at once, so its important to keep your speed and adjust your reels drag pressure in order for multiple hook ups. Offshore this week has been somewhat slow but thats to be expected due to the fact that the mahi fishery is coming to and end, but that being said this week i was able to catch a few nice ones on a current edge. Like i said this time of year we tend to not catch many but the ones we do catch are bigger in size around 15lb average. 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 and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like facebook and instagram **hidden content** for daily fishing content. Coming up for this week and part of next is a little break from the fishing scene, as the boat is coming out of the water for some maintenance, nothing major but a few things that need to get done. We will be back sooner then later. Now is a great time to book for the month of December for deep sea fishing specially around Christmas time, don't wait till the last second to book when we have the availability as of right now, so if your coming down to south Florida and looking to do some deep sea fishing look us up we would love to show you a great time on the water. more later...
