Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report- October and November 2007
Traditional changes in our approach
to Fort Lauderdale fishing strategies for our fall season are a regular
part of our charters A fair part of a days charter finds us just off
the reefs edge targeting Wahoo.
Our typical fish is under 20# with
occasional ones in the 30 to 40# class. We are also seeing smaller
schools of Dolphin moving south, sometimes
at considerable speed. Watch for fleeing Flying Fish on the outer
areas of the reef and just offshore. A few are being taken out in
the deep, and when found there catches are usually good, but it is easy
to have a fruitless day when you venture far away from the edge and you
might end up struggling. We are also continuing to see smaller
schools of dolphin inside the outer reef line on top of the middle reef
chasing Ballyhoo. The other day I found 5 to7# Dolphin inside in
20 feet of water blasting Ballyhoo in a full on feeding frenzy.
There are fair numbers of small Sailfish moving thru our area. 70 out to
150 feet seems the norm as usual but they will show up inside of 50 feet
often if the water is at the least fairly clear, especially if there is
some current
inside. We are still catching the majority of our fish trolling
(even the Sails) but we are live baiting more and more now, especially
on windy weather front days, and catching some larger Sails & Kings.
Fort Lauderdale fishing will remain productive on most days into early
December at which time we will face some tougher days offshore early on
in the month. This is not to say we won't have strong days (and we
will), but predictability goes out the window with the exception of
Wahoo & Snappers on the moon.
Both day & night Swordfish trips are
good when the weather allows. Some early season Amberjacks and
Grouper are being taken on both shallow and deep water FT. Lauderdale
fishing wreck sites.
