FISHING FORT LAUDERDALE

Fort Lauderdale offers some of the quickest deep-water access in the country — the Gulf Stream runs within a couple of miles of the beach, so dolphin (mahi), sailfish, kingfish and wahoo are a short run from the inlet, and the winter sailfish bite here is world-class. The reef line just offshore holds snapper and the trolling lanes for kings. Inshore, the Intracoastal and the inlets give snook, jacks and tarpon along the seawalls and bridges, day or night.
