Fort Lauderdale Fishing is Great in June
June 1-16 2010
June's fishing continues to heat up along with the weather. The dolphin fish or Mahi Mahi continue to show in good if not great numbers making for happy anglers and tummy's alike. The green and gold demon of the deep has been making its presence known from the reef out to about 20 miles in over 1800 feet of water. Devouring everything in their sight, the mahi mahi make for pretty easy targets once found. Bonitas, while not good on the table are fantastic fighters and with test any anglers light tackle skills. The bohnita is an eager biter as well and multiple hook ups are not uncommom. Mixed in with the bonitas are medium and a few large blackfin tunas along with some skipjack tunas, both of which are good table fare. The kingfish are beginning to show up in great numbers. Many are "snakes" or smaller schooling fish in the 5-12 pound range but there are still plenty of smokers around as well. Bottom fishing is good; we've been catching good size and plenty of tilefish in the 400 foot range. Vermillion snappers are also biting good as well and June marks the month that the giant Warsaw groupers show up. There is no mistaking when one of these behemoths bites your bait. Sandbar and bull sharks also make a very strong showing this month so anglers and bathers beware!
