Ft. Lauderdale Fishing Help Needed

[Choclabs01]

I am taking my father in law fishing this weekend as they are visiting us for the Holidays. I have limited experience getting out fishing as I have not gotten to go very much yet. I am planning on going out towards the Gulfstream 8-10 miles. I have heard that the Dolphin are still around and Wahoo are being caught as well. Do I need to go that far out or is the fishing closer in this time of year? I have always trolled dead baits or artificial lures. Thanks in advance for any tips. Hopefully we will catch a few fish!

I would start trolling at about 150ft and work your way out.Keep a look out for birds diving,tide rips and weedlines.There should still be some Dolphin and Wahoo around.Good luck
