The inshore fishing opportunities in Fort Lauderdale do not get the recognition they deserve. With Canals, backwaters, and waterways full of ideal habitat, the inshore fishing is excellent.

Fishing shallow structure can produce grouper, snapper, triggerfish, jacks, and an assortment of other reef fish.
