Fort Lauderdale offshore fishing report, Saltwater Fishing Report

Mid February report 2011. Currently catching Mahi-Mahi offshore in 500 to 700' of water. Looking for any floating debris, weedlines, birds, pallets or clumps of weed. The Mahi and Wahoo feed on the bait fish that school under the protection of the floating debris. When heading offshore, we are trolling naked ballyhoo and skirted ballyhoo on the surface and run two deep lines for Wahoo.

Running offshore the goal is to find the floating debris, then by trolling around the area first for a good 4 to 5 circles. Then we use live bait (pilchards) to raise the fish that are hanging below the floating debris. Our average catch of Mahi are anywhere from 8 lbs to 12 lbs. Sometimes we are catching the 20+ pounders.

If interested in a fishing charter to offshore fish for Mahi and Wahoo, contact Capt.Zsak and we can discuss the time, charter, species and best times to target the fish.
