Atlantic Sharpnose Shark
The waters off Fort Lauderdale are teeming with life, and Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks are a common and exciting target. These sharks patrol the reefs and wrecks just a few miles offshore, making them accessible to anglers with smaller boats. The best time to target them is from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are warmest. Try drifting live or cut bait near the artificial reefs, especially those in the 60-100 foot range. The reefs attract baitfish, which in turn attract the sharks. A popular boat ramp is located at the 17th Street Causeway, providing easy access to the ocean. Remember to check local regulations regarding shark fishing, and always use appropriate tackle, including a wire leader. Fort Lauderdale's sharks are known for their aggressive feeding habits, so be ready for a thrilling fight.
