Bull Shark
Fort Lauderdale offers some exciting bull shark fishing opportunities, particularly within its extensive network of canals and the Intracoastal Waterway. These brackish and saltwater environments serve as prime hunting grounds for these powerful predators. Targeting bull sharks is best during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when their activity levels peak. Look for them around bridges, docks, and areas with heavy boat traffic, as these spots often concentrate baitfish. A key local tip is to fish at night, especially around lighted structures, as bull sharks are nocturnal hunters. Be prepared for a serious fight; these sharks are incredibly strong. Heavy tackle is a must, and always prioritize safety when handling them. Remember to check local regulations regarding shark fishing and handling before heading out.
