Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report- November 2009
November is a time of change in
Fort Lauderdale
on how we fish and what we fish for. We have had one cold front so far that
did spur some action, mostly in Sailfish but other species also were
involved. With our higher than normal temperatures of late, we are still
trolling on most days since the surface temperature is still warm.
That will change soon. Even mild
fronts produce migration in bait and fish. We have seen large schools of
mullet in deep water as well as close to shore. Spanish Sardines were thick
a few weeks ago just north of us here in
Ft.
Lauderdale.
As these schools move through our area, so do the fish following their food
source and often opportunities become more abundant as the bait leaves and
the fish are behind looking to feed. 
Sailfish will soon be the most
predominant fish caught here. Tuna and some Dolphin fish will also be
involved, as will our Kingfish population. As the fronts become more
frequent and produce colder weather, it moves these fish faster, so fast
that at times, they can be seen “tailing” (swimming on the surface),
sometimes in large groups. A quick move and pitched bait can yield an
instant bite in these cases. The chase is on!
While not every day is a home run,
this time of year and for the next few months is some of the most exciting
fishing. This time of year is one of the reasons we do what we do. Even
after over 30 years of guiding people to the fish, I still get excited when
the bite is on.
You will too…
