Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, what a great week of deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale we have been having great weather and some exceptional fishing as well, to start the report out this week we will start offshore. We have been seeing some excellent mahi mahi action right now in depths around 400 feet on birds and seaweed lines, the mahi have been biting best when there has been a heavy wind from the east and south east direction specially for a few consecutive days in a row. The mahi have been biting best in the morning time and surface baits on the troll have been producing the most action. The average size has been anywhere from 5-10lbs but there has been some real quality fish in the mix as big as 25lbs. Also offshore there has been a very good blackfin tuna bite going on right now from 200 feet on out to 400 feet. The afternoon time has been best for the tuna and if you can locate where the tuna are there isn't any problem trying to catch them, baits fished under the surface as well as top baits have been getting plenty of bites. While fishing for the tuna there is also a chance for a wahoo which would be the prized catch but that is more of a luck thing we don't see many wahoo this time of year but when we do it is always welcomed. On the inshore side of things live baiting with kites has been the best as of late, live goggle eyes fished from a kite has been producing some excellent sailfish action as well as some larger mahi and giant bonitos. Live bait is always going to produce more quality fish but trolling is going to produce more bites so you have to pick your poison. As far as the best bet right now seems like the afternoon trip has been producing the best results, tunas seem to be around almost every trip in the afternoon. This week please check out some of the great photos of some recent catches we had while out on our deep sea fishing charters, and remember to give us a like a follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. The rest of April we have some availability so if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we would love to show you a great time on the water and the fish are BITING! More later... Capt. Vinnie

Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, just an exceptional week here in Fort Lauderdale for deep sea fishing. To start out the report this week I'm going to talk about the inshore bite just on the edge of the reef. Trolling has been very productive right now with surface and baits under the surface. We have been catching quite a few mahi just on the edge of the reef right now I would say it has been as good of a mahi bite that I have ever seen. Surface baits with meat on them what I mean by meat is either a bonito strip or rigged ballyhoo has been very productive. Mahi are fast moving fish and always on the move so if you are using some type of bait on your lures rather then just a lure odds are if they hit your bait and you miss the bite they will come back and try to eat it again specially because they can taste its real. Other then mahi on the reef we have been seeing some decent sized king mackeral as well. Live bait fishing with kites has been very productive in the last few days for sailfish. Live baits fished from a kite is the preferred method if your looking to target sailfish but with live baits we have been getting some larger bonitos as well as big as 25lbs. Moving to the offshore side there has been a good amount of blackfin tuna around in all mixed sizes. Afternoons have been the most productive for the tunas and the depths from 180 feet out to 300 feet has been most productive. Smaller baits like mylar skirts and small spoons have been working the best on the tuna right now. On some of our deeper baits we have been starting to see a few wahoo as well, we dont catch many wahoo this time of year but when we do its always a great surprise. Last but not least we have been seeing some more mahi action just off the reef in depths around 400 feet. Birds, seaweed, or floating debris has been a good indication mahi are in the area, basically what I'm saying is to look for signs of life and odds are you will find the mahi close by. We have been getting some larger mahi on the offshore side of things some of the fish have been close to 30lbs. This week please be sure to check out some of the recent photos that we have of some recent catches caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters and also remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. All in all just absolute great spring time fishing going on right now in Fort Lauderdale with lots of different species biting too. We should continue to have great fishing for the next few months so if your thinking about coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to get out deep sea fishing please look us up we some availability for the rest of April and we would love to show you a great time on the water.

Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, this week we have had some spectacular fishing right off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, so for the report this week on the inshore side of things seems like early in the morning has been best there has been a few bonito in shallows right on top of the reef in depths as shallow as 45 feet. Just off the reef there has been some kingfish action but live bait has been the go to if your looking for kingfish. Moving deeper to the depths around 200 feet there has been some blackfin tuna action but afternoons seem to be best for the tuna. We have been seeing the most action on lures in the greenish colors. While fishing for tuna there is always a chance to catch a wahoo. We have been starting to see a few wahoo as well which is always great. Wahoo in my opinion is one of the best fish that you can catch right off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, fantastic colors and one of the best eating fish on the dinner table. Last but not least on the offshore side there has been a green water to blue water edge, when you find an edge like this that is where two currents meet forming a tideline and there are usually signs of life like seaweed, birds, or floating debris meaning there is quality gamefish in that area, speaking on that there has been some fantastic mahi action on that edge. Trolling down the edge on the blue water side with mostly surface baits there has been some quality mahi to be caught but also we have been fishing a planner down deep incase there are wahoo in the same area. All in all it has been a great week of deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale obviously with fishing some days are better then others but thats fishing and thats what makes it fun. This week please take the time to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches we have had this week while out on our deep sea fishing charters and remember ti give us a like a follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfising so you can see what we are catching daily. Busy week for us here but we still have plenty of availability for the month of April so if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to get out deep sea fishing please look us up we would love to show you a great time on the water.
