Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report- December 2007
Here we are, living in Ft. Lauderdale, 2
weeks away from Christmas running our air conditioners. But I guess it
could be worse, considering what the northern states offered up
this first week of December. We made it into the low 80’s today. Almost
too nice… We are all actually hoping for a drop of about 20 degrees for
a day or two to really get things going
And as always the case,
the weather, specifically the cold fronts are what drive the fish
through our area. Our winter fish migration has begun and small schools
of Sailfish are providing some of our action. Both small and adult fish
are being seen ,smaller groups of aggressive, hungry fish that are often
caught and only occasionally missed due to their hunger A number of
these fish are being seen while trolling and also we are now seeing them
more and more chasing bait near the reef. A well placed live bait on
20# test spinning tackle can produce great results when these
opportunities are presented. 
And as we go deeper
into winter, we expect the main push of these acrobatic fighters to once
again visit us here in large numbers as they pass through Fort
Lauderdale on their way south. Late December and January can hold
incredible days of action while Sailfish fishing here.
While King Mackerel
fishing has been somewhat slow, a few decent fish are being caught(
while trolling and also live baiting) and some “smokers “(big boys)
will be here by Xmas Spanish Mackerel have taken up some of the slack
while we count the days to the arrival of the big Kings. While not as
big, certainly tasty morsels to both our anglers and also a favorite
meal of these smoker King Mackerel.
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
have also been limited to some degree, one day they are here, the next
day they’re gone. No consistency what so ever in whether they are here
or not, with the exception of strong on-shore winds resulting in better
catches. While most have been schoolie size, there have been some taken
over 25 and 30 lbs, a great fish to catch.
With this been our last
report of 2007, we at the Marlin My Darlin want to take this opportunity
to wish you a delightful Holiday season. May you and your friends and
families travel safely to your destinations, whether across the country
or across town.
And may you have a
prosperous and Happy New Year.
Captains,
