We had a great end to 2016 with some awesome catches on some large and exotic fish. We caught some huge wahoos, which are biting better this year than I have seen in long while, big red snappers, which are exceedingly rare in Fort Lauderdale and we’ve caught some big tunas, kingfish and sailfish. It was a great end to a great year. And now in 2017, a whole new batch of fish are moving through. Notably, we just had our very first cold front in Fort Lauderdale. It lasted 2 days and temperatures hit the high 50’s! Brrrrrrrrrr! That’s cold for us south Florida folk who wear sandles all year long. The cold weather did something to the fishing though. It got the sailfish snapping! We caught more sailfish in those 2 days than we had in the past 2 weeks. Sailfish love the cold weather, it gets them all frisky. This is the season for sailfish and without the cold weather, we were having a mediocre season on them. When the cold weather hit, it was like a light switch that went off and they finally started biting in respectable numbers. Glad to see them because so many anglers come from all around the world to catch these awesome gamefish.
