Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report- April 2008
April
is here and fishing in Ft Lauderdale is very productive right now. Greater
Amberjacks have taken up
residence on our deepwater
wrecks in good numbers. These fish range in size from 25 to over 60 pounds.
We
take most on live bait and the rest on jigs. When you can get thru the jacks
there are some nice Groupers on these same wrecks (see photo). The Kingfish
bite has been consistent on the reefs with Bonito occasionally mixed in.”
Occasional" Wahoo on the reef line with the Kings.
We
are still seeing Sailfish on these same reefs and just deeper on windy days,
with the north winds still the best condition.
Lots
of larger sharks just off the reef now if you are interested in this and
pretty much a sure thing right now. Offshore has been fairly consistent for
Mahi-Mahi and very good for what we call "board Wahoo" which are fish
typically from 8 to 15 # that we target under floating debris and "boards'
out in the blue water. The majority of the Mai-Mai are schoolies of course,
but some bigger bulls (over 30#) are passing thru regularly now.
Swordfishing is erratic and could certainly improve. Hopefully it will.
These fish remain difficult to figure with any consistency, but some are
being taken.
