Fishing is outstanding on Florida beaches. With fall season here, the mullet run is full of energy on the Atlantic coast and in very large numbers, baitfish plunge in and out of the oceans edge repetitively drawing the game fish’s attention, who are just hunting for another easy solid meal. Surf fishing in Broward County and other nearby counties is a perfect location since it is remote enough south that you are able to fish at any time of the year, with the best action being fall season.

With over a dozen of beaches to choose from, Broward County offers public beaches that allow fishing off the shoreline and it’s a normal sight to see fisherman with their poles and nets out, catching most inshore & offshore fish such as, snook, cobia, snapper, redfish,…

9.19.14 Fishing Report

The typical South Florida weather will take part this weekend, and the marine forecast is looking quite nice; as summer time is drifting away from us and slowly fall weather patterns are strolling in, be sure to get out on the water and hook some fish!

OFFSHORE-
Uneven and light choppy seas are impeccable for hooking up a sailfish and dolphin, which there is plenty of both to catch over the weekend. Large sums of seaweed remain to be a nuisance for fisherman when trolling, however, that is where the dolphin action is and reports have been caught in depths scattered from 60’ to 450’ of water.

Sailfish, Dolphin, Kingfish, Blackfin tuna, Wahoo… you name the fish, they could all be swimming around in South Florida this weekend and live…

In any depth, the line has a greater sensitivity for the fisherman to feel for the biting fish because the braided line is so positive that every move the fish makes is conveyed to the angler.
