Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report-
June 2007
The arrival of June
announces the summer mode for Ft. Lauderdale fishing. Gone are many of the
windy days of spring. We are now beginning to spend more and more time
offshore. On many days inshore reef fishing will be excellent for Kingfish
and occasional Sailfish, with some near shore Dolphin schools. May was
excellent inshore when the weather allowed us to fish, but now we tend to
spend more time offshore looking for Dolphin (a.k.a. Dorado or Mahi Mahi)
schools, scattered Sailfish and Blue Marlin in clean gulfstream water. Six
hour charters with a 7 am starting time are a good choice for fishing in
Fort Lauderdale as it allows us a little more time to find fish for our Ft.
Lauderdale charter clients. This more than anytime of year allows the
experience of the top crews to score the best numbers. Constant boat
movement (5 to 7 knots) requires focused crews to be alert for developing
opportunities. Working sea birds, floating debris (dolphin magnet), current
edges and weed lines are our agenda. We welcome the participation of the
fishing charter as five, six or seven sets of eyes are better than two.
Once roving schools of dolphin are located the spinning rods replace the
trolling rods. Small to medium sized Wahoo are often caught beneath and in
the vicinity of floating debris, the larger ones typically on current
edges. Blue Marlin are a possibility in the vicinity of the above
conditions and even in the “middle of nowhere” when he just pops up in the
spread while hunting. 
Inshore wrecks will still
hold fair numbers of bottom fish as well as Amberjacks. Reef sharks will
steadily increase their presence on shallow wrecks and reef lines for those
of you who wish to target a shark while fishing in Ft. Lauderdale this
summer.
We will be taking more
Swordfish charters at this time of year. Calming wind conditions allow us
more opportunities to fish for this great gamefish, and they offer a good
chance for success this time of year. Pull up Swordfishing on our home page
for more information on this fishery.
