Atlantic Ocean (FL)

The area is a major yachting center, with 42,000 resident yachts and 100 marinas and boatyards. Fort Lauderdale and its suburbs host over 4100 restaurants and 120 nightclubs.

Fishing is fantastic here.

Anglers come from all corners of the world to experience Fort Lauderdale sport fishing. There are three times of the year that generate big migrations of fish throughout South Florida including the Fort Lauderdale region. The first migration starts with Sailfish in the months of December through April.

In the months of May through July we have a great Shark run. The summer months provide great Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo fishing. Also keep in mind there are plenty of other fish that are targeted like Cobia, Black Fin Tuna, King Mackerel, Bonito, Barracuda and Swordfish through out the year.

We are fortunate to have such deep water off Fort Lauderdale, for example within 2 miles of shore we are fishing in 200 ft of water and the game fish off Fort Lauderdale are some of the most sought after fish in the world.

Reefs, wrecks, ledges

The techniques used for fishing in Fort Lauderdale are a wide variety depending on many variables. For example if there is a 10 to 15 mph of wind out of an Easterly direction, we are able to try kite fishing where we have our lines attached to release clips hanging from the kite. The intention of the kite is to present our bait fish to the predator fish in its most natural form (as a school of bait) which is extremely effective.

Another method used for Ft Lauderdale deep sea fishing is trolling live and dead Ballyhoo’s. Also we do Fort Lauderdale wreck fishing and the area coastal waters have a great system of wrecks. Some of the wrecks are located in 75’ of water and others are located out in 400+’ of water where we may use electric reels to fish that deep.
