Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report

The last few days gave us a southern taste of what winter can do. The morning temps hit the 40's and although I prefer warmer weather I know this is what is needed to get the fish here and feeding. It did produce as expected. A few days ago we landed one of the biggest Cobia's I've seen. It was over 60 pounds, closer to 70. Today we released a few Sailfish, Bonita's and Kings. The sea's have been tolerable since the winds are coming from the west. I feel the bite will really turn on when it turns to the north/northeast. The seas might build but so will the action with the rods. Inshore the Jack Crevalles and Barracuda are taking the live baits quickly once you find them. The inlet has lots of action with the tide movement and this should stay this way throughout the winter months. As we get deeper into winter more fish will head south into our waters to stay warm for the winter. As they pass by our inlet I'll be there to intercept a few. Take a look at my website to get more info on how to join me. Have a safe and happy Thanks Giving! Sea Ya, Captain Ron Mallet, www.actionsportfishing.com, (954) 423-8700
