Weekly Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report – South Florida – Week of April 3, 2026 | Don’t Tell Mom Sportfishing

Fishing over the past week remained solid, with a good mix of species and steady opportunities on the water. Blackfin Tuna action stayed consistent, giving anglers reliable bites, especially when conditions lined up right.

We also had some Sailfish around for those willing to put in the time fishing live bait, with opportunities still there for anglers staying patient and dialed in. A few Mahi Mahi were caught as well, as they’ve started to migrate through the area—always a great sign as we move further into spring.

The wrecks have begun producing more Amberjacks and Barracudas, adding some strong, hard-fighting fish to the mix. These species are always a blast to target and provide some serious action when the bite is on.

The full moon brought in a few Wahoo, but as expected, fishing over the past few days slowed down slightly, which is common during this moon phase. Even so, there were still opportunities to connect with quality fish.

Strong east winds over the past few days pushed in a fair amount of sea grass, which made trolling more challenging at times. Despite that, we were still able to stay productive and catch some good fish on the troll.

We’re also starting to see King Mackerel showing up again, another great sign that seasonal patterns are shifting in the right direction.

Looking ahead, April is shaping up to be a great month for fishing, with more species continuing to move into the area. For those looking to battle a sea monster, shark fishing should start heating up, with more fish expected to show up in good numbers.

If you’re ready to get out on the water, now is a great time to book your trip.
