Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here hope everyone is doing well, we will start this one off a little different, the daytime fishing has been somewhat slow while trolling and fishing for pelagic fish, so we have been switching git up with some bottom fishing. We have been doing lots of bottom fishing in deep water as deep as 800 feet in search for tilefish which in my opinion is one of the best tasting bottom fish that you can capture, we have been using multiple hook rigs called chicken rigs and using cut pieces of bonito for bait, a heavy weight is required to reach bottom at these depths of 800 feet. Tilefish live in muddy bottom where they make burrows inside the mud bottom and when a fish comes by they attack and retreat back inside there hole. We also caught this week a fish called a southern hake which is a pretty rare fish for the fort Lauderdale are and is related to the cod fish, these are very tasty and are very similar to a fast food fish sandwich you would order. There has also been some vermillion snapper and yellow eye snappers around on some of the deeper wrecks that we have been catching these also are great eating fish. Night time snapper fishing has been excellent lately with great catches of yellowtail snapper as well as a few mangrove snapper, we do have a great photo of a very nice sized mutton snapper that we recently caught on one of our night time anchor fishing trips, mutton snapper fight very hard and taste excellent as well, fishing has been very good and should continue to get better and better as we get closer to the summer time!! We have a little bit of availability coming up so if your looking to get out fishing give us a call!

Hello everyone, Capt. Vinnie here with a great fishing report for you guys this week. The weather has been in our favor this week specially for some deep sea fishing. Starting off the morning trips have been seeing some great action on the troll for blackfin tuna. Trolling the depths from 180 on out to 300 feet has been the most productive as of late and lures in a greenish color have been getting the most bites. Some of the tuna we have been getting have been over 20lbs, which is just great! no complaints here. Also in the early mornings there has been a very good showing of mahi mahi right now which is somewhat odd for this time of year they are more of a summer time fish but I won't say no if they are biting thats for sure. The mahi have been biting in depths from 300 on out to 500 feet, the best action has been on color changes from green water to blue water as well as scattered weeds and the best action would be if your lucky enough to hit the jackpot and find something floating like pieces of wood or floating ropes. Other then mahi and tuna we have been seeing some wahoo action as well. Some of the wahoo that are being caught have been early in the mornings primarily over structure like sunken ship wrecks. Afternoon trips have been producing a solid bite of blackfin tuna the later the better it has been slow from around 1 to 3pm but once 4pm approaches that seems to be when the tuna have been starting to bite. Tuna have big eyes and are sensitive to light so low light conditions are always going to be best if your looking to catch tuna. On a final note bottom fishing for vermillion snappers has been somewhat decent when the current allows for it also if your have live bait most deeper wrecks are holding some very large amberjacks right now too. This week please be sure to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches caught while out on our deep sea fishing charters and remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing content. For this week coming up looks like some windy weather for the beginning of the week and then the wind lightens up towards the end of the week, spring fishing is definitely in full effect, tunas, mahi, the occasional wahoo, and bottom fishing heating up I can't think of a better time to get out fishing in Fort Lauderdale, so if your coming down to south florida and looking to do some deep sea fishing please look us up we would love to show you a great time on the water. Busy week ahead here so be on the look out for future reports. more later.... Capt. Vinnie

Spring Break Fishing In Fort Lauderdale
Spring Break Fishing In Fort Lauderdale

Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, what a great week of deep sea fishing it has been in Fort Lauderdale, I would say the spring fishing conditions are here and in full force not to mention the weather has been just excellent no complaints here! This week the early mornings have been very good specially while trolling. Some really nice blackfin tuna coming on the deeper baits fished with planners the depth from 180 feet on out to 300 feet has been the magic area for these blackfin tunas and the size has been excellent. Average size has been around 10lbs give or take, now blackfin don't get as large as yellowfin and bluefin tuna but that being said that doesn't mean they don't taste as good because they are excellent eating and not to mention sushi grade as well. We have been seeing a few bonito and kingfish as bycatch while tuna fishing. Moving a little deeper there has been quite a few mahi mahi right now which is not really common in the month of March off the coast of Fort Lauderdale but no complaints here, mahi are always welcomed aboard. The best advice I could give is try to locate a color change where the green water meets the blue water, there usually is a weed line of some sort because that is where the different currents meet and form an edge, usually there is bird activity as well. Mornings have had some solid action but I would say the best bet right now would be afternoon specially if your looking for some tuna, best to sleep in and get out for the afternoon bite. Spring fishing is definitely in full swing here in Fort Lauderdale lots of different species biting and plenty of action. This week please take the time to check out some of the great photos of some recent catches caught aboard the YB Normal while out deep sea fishing. And also remember to give us a like and follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing to see what we are catching daily. The weather has been excellent and the fishing has picked up drastically as we get into the heart of spring I would imagine the fishing to stay great and maybe even pick up more then it already is now, one thing to look forward to is game sharks they should be right around the corner, so be on the look out for that and if you are thinking about coming down to Fort Lauderdale specially for spring break we would love to get you out fishing with us so please look us up we would love to show you a great time on the water. more later.....

Spring Fishing Taking Effect In Fort Lau
Spring Fishing Taking Effect In Fort Lau
Март 6, 2024
Hello everyone Capt. Vinnie here, this week I would say is defiantly an improvement in the fishing over last week just like the title says spring fishing taking effect in Fort Lauderdale. We are starting to get a taste of that obviously it is fishing and far from any guarantees but the chances of catching quality fishing are improving daily. As of late spending most of our time on the reef there has been some quality blackfin tunas biting while trolling early mornings and late evenings are always going to be your best windows for bites. Small lures fished on the surface as well as mylar lures fished under neath the surface have been producing some of these blackfin tunas. Also we are starting to see some kingfish action on the troll as well which is a staple during spring time fishing. Trolling will get you more bites but live bait will produce quality bites, pick your poison. There has also been a small flurry of some mahi mahi action and some quality ones at that. Days when the wind tends to blow from and easterly direction for a few days and the waves build there has been some quality mahi on the reef, these mahi are not picky but its more of getting in front of one to get the bites, it is a nice little bonus. Bottom fishing this week has been hit and miss some days when the conditions are correct there has been some nice sized vermillion snappers along with some quality grey trigger fish, but on days that the conditions don't line up it has been a waste of time. One thing I would like to point out is that we did have a daytime swordfish charter this week and we did catch one not a monster but a nice fish indeed (pictured). Swordfish is one of the hardest fish to catch here in Fort Lauderdale and FAR from a guarantee catch but the reward is so great if you do catch one. Now is a great time if your looking for that once in a lifetime swordfish. This week please be sure to check out some of the great photos we have of some recent catches caught this week while out on our deep sea fishing charters and also give us a like and follow on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram @Ybnormalsportfishing for daily fishing updates and you can see what we are doing from day to day. Fishing will continue to improve as we reach the end of March and even into April. Alot to look forward to, but one thing is for sure if your coming down to Fort Lauderdale and looking to do some deep sea fishing we have plenty of options that suits everyone so look us up and we will show you a great time on the water!
