Types of Fishing Charters in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale offers a variety of fishing options for the seasoned angler and first time fisherman.  The waters in the Atlantic Ocean off of Fort Lauderdale are rich with baitfish attracting the most desirable sport fish. 

The majority of our Fort Lauderdale fishing trips take place offshore although we do have a some tarpon and snook options in the canals and Intracoastal waterways. 

Depending on the season our Fort Lauderdale Fishing Charters are usually kite fishing, trolling or wreck fishing.  The types of fish in Fort Lauderdale vary due to the weather and migration patterns of these pelagic fish.  A normal catch on one of our Fort Lauderdale fishing charters can range from, sailfish, mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, wahoo, swordfish, tile fish, snapper, grouper and more. 

Fort Lauderdale fishing charters do not usually go more than a few miles of shore unless they are swordfish fishing.  Swordfish trips usually go much further offshore.  Many anglers who have previously fished in other states enjoy the close proximity of the Gulf Stream in Florida which allows them to spend more time fishing and less timing traveling to the fishing grounds. 

Kite fishing with live bait is usually most effective during sail fish season in Fort Lauderdale where as trolling with dead ballyhoo works best for mahi-mahi, tuna and kingfish.  A successful Fort Lauderdale fishing guide adapts his techniques and strategies to the ever changing conditions allowing him to take advantage of the fish’s eating and migratory patterns.  A technique that works one day might not be effective the next because of a changing condition as small as current or wind speed. 

Information is not readily shared among different fishing charter outfits in Fort Lauderdale because of the competiveness and egoes among captains and boats.  Fort Lauderdale fishing charters are a fun and exciting way to enjoy Florida’s unique natural resources.
