Fort Lauderdale Florida fishing report

Report Date: December 31, 2009

The year ended on a great trip. We headed offshore today with a late start to let the junior angler get an easy morning wake up, I got one too. As soon as we set the live baits out a mile offshore we caught a small Red Grouper and were greeted by a school of Dolphin. They weren't huge but they put up a great fight and gave the angler a chance to learn what a Dolphin is, not Flipper. We kept a few to bring home for dinner and decided to head inshore where the waves were none and the fish were different. The Barracuda were eating the baits in the inlet so after a few photos we maoved into the back canals. The Jack Crevalles cooperated and we caught and released a good amount until our time and bait were used.

It was a nice way to end the year. Everyone was happy and it set a nice attitude for what is to come in 2010. The weather is ready to cool off some and that should push more hungry fish south into our waters. This is the time of year when the action can be great if you catch the lucky day when weather and the fish decide to work together.

Sea Ya,
