Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
offshore
Fishing Fort Lauderdale for so many years, I've met so many different types of people and get I get along with everyone. Jackie and David were no exception what a pair, I don't think we stopped laughing the entire trip. Fishing should be fun, although it can get hectic when you have three sailfish on at once and only two anglers like we did and we were still laughing. JAckie would reel on one and then run over to the other rod in the holder and turn the handle on that one has David was screaming he was running out of line. So we chased David's fish for a while and so it went for about 40 minutes. nThe fish helped by cooperating just enough not to cross over each other to many times and we then released them. Guys, Way to Go, thank you again and we will see you soon. Call me Capt. Mike if want to have some fun and fish local knowledge. www.fishlocalknowledge.com 954 522 4773
