Happy Day Today. Deep sea fishing report for 52′ Hatteras sportfish located at Bahia Mar in Fort Lauderdale.
Sailfishing in Fort Lauderdale is a popular activity, especially during the winter months when sailfish migrate through the area in large numbers. Fort Lauderdale is known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World” due to the abundance of sailfish in its waters. An angler can experience multiple sailfish when fishing in Fort Lauderdale.
These acrobatic fish are prized for their fighting ability and are released after being caught to preserve the population and due to conservation has been continually growing.
Sailfish are
abundant in Fort Lauderdale’s waters January through May. This is when the sailfish migrate through the area in large numbers. Sailfish tent to congregate near underwater structures, reefs, drop-offs, and current edges. We catch sailfish in water depths ranging from 100 to 300feet, where sailfish are known to feed. Of course we catch them in shallower water and out many miles in the very deep water, however the sweet spot is from 100-300. Trolling is an effective method for targeting sailfish using rigged ballyhoo, mullet, or strip baits. Troll these baits behind the boat at varying depths and distances until you get a strike.
Kite fishing and live baits are highly effective and one of the most popular methods. Popular choices include goggle eye, pilchards, blue runners and herring.
Many anglers use teasers which are artificial or natural baits rigged to attract sailfish to the surface.

    Timothy was awesome!! Super knowledgeable of the water, gave great instructive criticism. Collectively we hauled in 15+ fish on a 4 hour charter and had a blast doing it. Without a doubt, I would book another charter with Timothy.

    He was very knowledgeable about where to go fishing and when we followed his suggestions, we caught fish. He was really laid-back and cool. And he was quick to help net the fish and bait the hook. We got our target species as well as more. I would 100% recommend Jose for anyone who wants to go fishing.

    My family and I had a freaking BLAST with Captain Carlos and Reefs to Rivers! He is an absolute professional; very competent, extremely knowledgeable, and great with kids (even a 5 year old little girl who couldn’t have cared less about hunting iguanas - he made her the official “retriever,” which she loved lol). Carlos put us on tons of iguanas and the action was hot and heavy. We added this hunt onto the tail end of a Disney trip and my 10 year old son said it was better than anything we experienced at Disney. Highly recommend to anyone looking to give iguana hunting a shot (pun intended). We will be booking with Captain Carlos again soon - he is the real deal.
