Scalloped Hammerhead
Fort Lauderdale's position along the Florida coast offers anglers a chance to target Scalloped Hammerheads in the Atlantic Ocean. These impressive sharks are most frequently encountered during the warmer months, from late spring through summer, when they migrate through the area. The Gulf Stream's influence brings nutrient-rich waters and attracts a variety of marine life, including these apex predators. To increase your chances of success, consider booking a charter boat specializing in shark fishing. These captains have the experience and equipment needed to locate and target these sharks. Chumming is a common technique used to draw them in. Always practice responsible angling by using circle hooks and being prepared to safely release the shark after the fight. Prior to your trip, familiarize yourself with the current Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) regulations regarding shark fishing, including size and gear restrictions. Several marinas in Fort Lauderdale provide convenient access to the offshore fishing grounds.
