Trip Summary
Trip Summary
April has Been a great month fishing out of Fort Lauderdale, Seeing Sailfish, Blackfin Tunas, Cobias, Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, Bonitos and Wahoos. We have mainly been kiting fishing throughout April, Mainly using the regular Thread Fin Herring. Having Bait this month is extremely important, with trolling regularly slow and live bait fishing very hot. On one trip we caught 6 out of 8 Sailfish, seeing a few more during the trip. On this trip we hooked a triple header out of a 6 banger. We saw bigger packs of Sailfish moving South at a high rate of speed, some of the better Sailfish action I have seen. The Mahi Mahi fishing has been hit or miss, with a few days producing Dolphin and a couple without. We are stilling hoping for a Big Push any day now.
Later in April we had a few good days with meat fish, catching a Big Kingfish, Cobia, 2 Sailfish and a few Blackfin Tunas. I blame all the good fishing on the quality of bait, the bait that you can not buy but have to catch yourself. We also recently fished the Final Sailfish Tournament in the End of April.
Grouper season opened May 1st and the groupers are biting, catch them while you can, because the bite is ON!!!
