Ft. Lauderdale fishing charters continue to offer good opportunities for Wahoo. Sail fishing has been very erratic and the presence of Wahoo on many days continues to be a big plus. Pictured are angler Norm and 1st mate Brian with a freshly gaffed fish aboard Marlin My Darlin. A stellar year for the Wahoo here. Overall poor for the Sails. One here / one there.
We continue to have the warm weather and the sea conditions are once again pleasant with only mild winds. Water clarity has been pretty good on the reefs with blue water within 250 feet. We have a good northerly current again and partly cloudy skies. Not too bad for sure.
As we said the Sails are scattered but we have caught a few. Yesterday gave us a half dozen Mahi-Mahi along with Bonitos. All Mahi were of gaffing size. The Bonito are fully grown and most easily found in 150 feet and we do seek them early to bend the rods, and the Wahoo are right there as well. Really big sharks offshore now as the spring migration begins. Most of these sharks are in 350 to 450 feet of water. Some Tuna there as well.
