Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report-
February 2007
Our winter season is in
full swing now. Repeated cold fronts pushing into our area are affecting
South Florida Sportfishing in a positive way. Larger schools (we call them
pods) of primarily adult sailfish are now encountered regularly offshore.
These sailfish are moving south on most days with the most productive depths
typically under 180’ of water. Smaller sharks and bonitos are mixed in with
the increasing numbers of sailfish. Fair numbers of dolphin (Dorado) are
being taken on the outer edges and just offshore of the reef line when the
blows hard with the approaching fronts. Keeper sized King Mackerel have
been difficult on most days, but deep water snappers have been biting well
enough to bend the rods on slower fishing days. We have taken some nice
grouper recently over offshore wrecks.
Sword fishing has been very
good on the offshore grounds when we have the weather to go, but numerous
cold fronts have had an impact on our availability of reasonable sea
conditions. Some larger sharks are now being seen tailing and working on
top as well as being targeted successfully with bottom baits fished off the
edge of the outer reef line.
