Florida Fishing out of Dania and Fort Lauderdale - Offshore

[JohnMckroidJr]

There have been a couple of Wahoo taken off kayaks recently, so last Tuesday I made a trip out of the Port of Fort Lauderdale.

I left Cox Landing and made it out of the harbor by 5 a.m. My first spot to target bait was a submerged rock pile just south of the breakwater entrance.
The area was full of tarpon. Eventually, one of them ate and destroyed my Crappie jig Gangnon. The next spot was Eurojaxs - a submerged breakwater with depths at the top around 6ft and edges down to 20ft. I metered a ton of bait with no biters.
Eventually, I found 8 blue runners and a goggle eye off the Dania Beach pier. This was super slow bait fishing.

By the time I got out to the 3rd reef, The sun was already up. I missed the dawn bite, and fishing was slow AF.
