Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
offshore
Get ready! It's finally here sailfish season has officially started and we have already had multiple fish trips. We just went 2 for 3 on our last trip. Live ballyhoos proved deadly as we pulled them from 80 to 200 feet. The fish have been spread but once found there seems to be many in each pod. There has been lots of smaller fish which is nice to see. lets us know that the stocks are growing. Give me a call 954 522 4773 to reserve your date.
