Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
near and offshore Fort Lauderdale waters
Every fall schools of silver and black mullet hug the South Florida coastline trying to elude the predators awaiting their demise. Tarpon, snook, jacks, sharks, ladyfish and more assault the schools of bait the entire gold coast. Some schools get pushed offshore where hoards of kingfish, bonitas, sharks, sailfish and mahi mahi begin their binge. It's hard to miss the blackish brown mass of bait in the clean green to blue water of our Fort Lauderdale beaches. Fish around the schools of bait not in them for best results. You will be rewarded with all types of gamefish. The Local Knowledge specializes in this fishery call 954 522 4773 to book today.
