Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report- March 2008
Once again we find
ourselves running late with our fishing report off Fort Lauderdale. This
time I’m happy to say the delay has led to good news.
Our weather the last
few weeks has been strange to say the least. This is the wettest dry
season I can remember with storms leading to rough seas and long, rainy
days. But these storms that preceded the cold from that came through in
the first week of March has led to our best Sailfish action yet this
year, so much so that if we only catch one, we’re disappointed. The fish
have been moving quickly and eating most everything in their paths.
And
now that the flood gates have opened, we expect the rest of our winter
visitors to make their appearances as well. Sharks have already been
seen tailing south. Small Tuna also have begun biting, with a few big
ones being caught. The Kingfish fishing has been slow, but the few being
caught have been nice size.
Dolphin fishing
remains somewhat erratic with a few being caught while live baiting on
the reef. Those searching offshore are finding a few schools of fish,
but most are too small to keep. Luckily, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) are one of
the fastest growing fish in the ocean and just a month can add enough
weight to be able to keep a few for the table.
Well, that’s all for
this month. I’ve got to get to the boat for today’s trip. We’ve still
got plenty of room in April and May, our two best fishing months down
here off Ft. Lauderdale. It sure is nice to be writing this and
remembering the fish we’ve been catching lately…
Hope to see you soon.
