FT LAUDERDALE INSHORE FISHING
The inshore waters of Ft Lauderdale have some of the best fishing found in Florida. The average Tarpon found in the Ft Lauderdale area runs from 60 to 120 lbs., with plenty of 150 lb.+ class Tarpon being caught every year. Tarpon are known best for their spectacular high flying jumps.
These trips are tailored to you! Most trips can start early or late afternoon.
Snook and Tarpon fishing at night and early morning can be awesome. It’s true that tarpon are nocturnal and do most of their feeding between dusk and dawn. If you have not tried this you are really missing out. Good spots that are inundated with anglers during the day can be barren at night. Less boat traffic equals more fish willing to take a bait. Ft Lauderdale inlet the surrounding area is one of favorite areas for Tarpon. Give it a try you’ll love it! The prime tarpon season is March – June, but can be caught almost all year around.

We fish the scenic waterway among the many elite intracoastal communities. Fort Lauderdale’s known for its Venetian style canals boast some of the biggest tarpon in South Florida.
These channel waterways serve as roadways for the million dollar yachts belonging to the mansions lining the waterway. In Ft Lauderdale affluent boating paradise widely known as the Venice of America, has many hot spots such as The New River, Intracoastal Waterway and Port Everglades hold tarpon, snook, barracuda and jack crevalle to give anglers young and old a great time and good fight.

Fort Lauderdale inshore fishing is home to many hungry tarpon that call the narrow waterways home. We mainly target Tarpon, Snook, Jack Crevalle and Bbarracuda. Most of these fish can be caught year around. However, there are times when we may suggest one species over another.
Part of the experience is taking a nice relaxing cruise up the New River through the downtown Fort Lauderdale area and past some of the most famous homes up close and personal. Don’t mistake the big house watching for just some scenic cruise. Hold onto your hats and fishing rod as we have Tarpon well over 100 lbs that are hooked but not always landed often.
While there are many tarpon over 100 lbs caught each year they typically range in size from 50 lbs to 100 lbs. Once most people catch a 100 lb tarpon they will usually prefer for one around 50 lbs range…lol
Fishing in Fort Lauderdale is best from January through April, when big tarpon are in abundance. Were available for day and evening trips!
During the summer months, the baby tarpon bite is really good. This is when the fly fishing anglers love to go catch Tarpon.

SnookSnook are seasonal in Florida waters. They can be found in inlets, backcountry mangroves and flats. Snook on light tackle and fly rod are a favorite method for serious anglers. Snook like live bait best like shrimp, crabs and fingerlings but will take artificials and flies. |
TroutSpeckled trout are a river, backwater and flats favorite. They are good eating and are fun to catch on live shrimp under a popper cork. Speckled trout hit surface lures in the mornings, and buck tails jigs really anytime of the day! Drift fishing across a grass flat- watch out! |
SnapperSnapper are one of Florida’s most sought after and tasty bottom species. There are a number of snapper varieties and all are good to eat. It takes special tackle and technique to catch these wary fish- they are very sensitive to terminal tackle and presentation of bait. Fluorocarbon leaders are important part of your presentation. Snapper like shrimp, crab and other small crustaceans. Snapper like bottom cover like reefs, wrecks and other structure and can be found in all Florida saltwater bodies. |
TarponTarpon are one of the most exciting and sought after game fish to be found anywhere! The Tarpon is one of the most remarkable sport fish in the world, when hooked they perform acrobatic jumps which defy belief. Spin or fly casting with lures or live bait (crabs or shrimp) and big flies are effective ways to catch Tarpon. Tarpon are generally cooperative eaters, but their bony jaws make it hard to maintain a hook up, the result is that many fish throw the hook after a few jumps. Tarpon are not good to eat, but they are sure fun to catch! |
