There is a lot of activity fishing the Fort Lauderdale waters this week. Sharks, sailfish, blackfin tuna and mahi-mahi are all biting on the outside edge of the reef. Wrecks are also loaded up with good fish. Today, we had some folks that wanted to go out and do some bottom fishing and get some fish they could take home to cook up. So we went out and did some deep dropping around the 250-350ft shipwrecks. The fish were biting. We caught about 20 vermillion snappers, a couple jacks that we threw back and a couple nice size snowy groupers. It was a good action trip. Sportfishing and drift fishing trips are both coming in with good catches this week. May is always a good month for fishing and this May is no exception. For the next month or so, we should have the best fishing Fort Lauderdale has to offer, no matter what type of fish you're after. Let's get out there and do some fishing while the fishing is good.

Tight Lines,
