Ft. Lauderdale Fishing
Ft. Lauderdale is known for its tremendous offshore fishery. Anglers that like to target big fish in deep water will like fishing the Ft. Lauderdale area. The winter time provides good fishing for sailfish and sharks, but the fishing can be hit or miss with kingfish, dolphin and other species. Spring fishing starts to get exciting with many types of fish to catch in the area. Anglers will catch sailfish, tuna, amberjack, swordfish, wahoo, dolphin, sharks and kingfish. Charter boats will start catching a variety of fish with a lot more consistency in the spring. Summer Fishing can be excellent for kingfish, dorado, tuna, swordfish and kingfish. Expect some erratic fishing in early fall, but fishing will pick up in October and November as the temperatures cool off and the fish start migrating south. If you can find the bait fish moving south, there is a great chance that you will find a variety of fish in the area following the bait fish for an easy meal. Late fall can lead to some excellent catches as fish migrate through the Ft. Lauderdale area.
