Ft. Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Reports
Ft Lauderdale Offshore Fishing Report- October
2006
Here we
are already into October. The calendar year is rapidly drawing to a close
and to be frank we are all looking ahead to later fall and winter (as we
know it) in South Florida Sportfishing. But this is October, so lets talk
about October.
Kingfishing thru these first three weeks has been the best choice for
putting fish in the fish box. We are seeing occasional Sailfish on our
surface baits as we "target" the Kingfish on our deeper lines. We are also
getting bites from Sailfish and Bonito on these deeper baits. Large schools
of Black Mullet (baitfish) are moving rapidly to the south. Windy conditions
are causing most of these schools of 6 to 10 inch fish to migrate south in
deeper water to avoid the sandy inshore water which is result of the surf
caused by stronger than normal winds. This often results in more
opportunities for Sailfish, Sharks, Dolphin and hopefully over-sized King
Mackerel.
We have
found these gamefish on some of these bait-fish schools, but many times we
have not scored. The good news is Snapper fishing remains productive. Large
Wahoo are just outside the reef, and are being taken for the most part on
deep baits (alive or dead). Live baiting is showing an increase in Sailfish
bites as we begin to experience the frontal systems associated with the
approaching Winter Sportfishing season. Shark fishing is hit or miss, but we
see "tailers" moving down sea on most north wind/north current days
associated with the frontal systems.
