Solid May Fishing

Hello everyone, Capt. Vinnie here. This weeks report is just like the title says SOLID. The warm weather has already arrived, feels like summer time, hot temps some days windy other days not even a breeze but good fishing right now off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. Just on the edge of the reef is where most action has been best, for the most part the most consistent bite has been kingfish and bonito, they have been biting anywhere from 100 feet of water on out to 150 feet, trolling has been the best choice right now, live bait has been hard to get and there has been alot of seaweed certain days. Trolling with fresh bonito strips in my opinion is always a fantastic choice to entice finicky fish to strike, fishing with a planer to take the bait under the surface right into the strike zone has been the most productive. Moving a little deeper the afternoons have been fantastic for larger tuna, blackfin tuna up to 25lbs have not been uncommon, the depths from 200 on out to 350 feet is where you want to be for those guys, same theme as inshore with the trolling for the tuna, but increasing our trolling speed and using lighter leader has been a great way to dial the tuna in perfectly, while tuna fishing there has been a select amount of wahoo available as well, one of my favorite fish to eat, one more fish that has been prevalent, is a few and I mean a few mahi mahi, on days when the wind has been blowing out of the east and the seas are churned up, we have been catching a few mahi n birds, although it is a little early in the season for them it is a good sign that the fish are starting to move our way. Last but not least, we did a little bit of bottom fishing this week and had some success with some large vermillion snappers and a few lane snappers, on the days that the current is light we have been doing some snapper fishing in depths up to 300 feet, small pieces of cut bait like fresh bonito and or squid has been a good choice for these tasty snappers right now, nothing huge but all very good sized anywhere from 1-3lb fish perfect for a nice fresh fish dinner.

This week be sure to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches we have been having while out on our deep sea fishing charters and remember to follow us on social media platforms like Facebook and instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. Summer is right around the corner and so is the fishing and the summer heat, something to look forward to would be mahi season which should start to pick up towards mid June. We still have some availability for the month of May so if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we would love to get you out and show you a great day on the water… more later… Capt.

Deep Sea Fishing May

Hello everyone, Capt. Vinnie here, we have another great report this week of some fantastic deep sea fishing right here in the Fort Lauderdale area. To start off the report this week we will begin with our inshore fishing, as of late there has been some really good action in the early mornings primarily for king mackeral, the king mackeral have been biting very well in depths from 80 feet on out to 150 feet of water, there has also been some bonitos biting in these depths as well as the occasional sailfish. The weather lately has had some very light winds and calm seas so trolling has been primarily the best way to get some action, a few surface baits on top consisting on smaller squid imitation lures and some bonito strips fished behind sea witches fished on a planer in order to take the bait under the surface has been a deadly combo for all types of fish specially with what is biting right now. Moving a little deeper for an offshore report, on certain days that we have had the correct conditions and what I mean by that is north current with some blue water there has been some blackfin tuna action early in the mornings and later in the afternoons, seems if those conditions are available in the early mornings there has been a very good chance for wahoo, as stated above trolling remains the preferred technique for all the fish biting right now in the fort Lauderdale area.

One last fish that is on the radar but has primarily been hit and miss is mahi mahi, now it is early in the season for these guys and finding numbers of them is almost impossible right now, there has been some single loaner fish that have had some size which in my opinion a good sign for whats to come. Last but not least if trolling is slow there still has been some good shark fishing available as well as wreck fishing for fish like amberjack and grouper that is just starting to heat up. This week please be sure to check out some great pictures of some recent catches we have had while out on our deep sea fishing charters and remember to follow us on social media platforms like facebook and instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. A few busy weeks coming up ahead but there is still some availability if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we would love to have you and show you a great time out on the water… more later
