Fort Lauderdale Sport Fishing

January 5th, 2011

Today we were a very busy fishing fleet. All three boats, the Lady Pamela I, III and IV fished three trips each; 9 trips for the day. All three boats left the inlet around the same time. Aboard the Lady Pamela IV, we started the trip trolling fresh bonito strips and seawitches just north of the inlet in 100-200 ft of water. The King Mackerel were the first to eat for us. The Lady Pamela I fished further to the north, catching Blackfin Tuna, Bonito fish and ending the day with two Amberjacks on the shipwrecks.

Michael and his family joined the Lady Pamela IV for a deep sea fishing adventure while visiting Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Once we hit open water, we were catching King Mackerel in 140 ft of water. We caught a handful of Kingfish and went on our way to 220 ft of water. The kites went into the air with live goggle eyes as three baits went underneath the water. It wasn't long before we had a window shopper. The Sailfish swam into our spread, took a look at our bait and swam away. Not even 25 minutes later and one of our bottom baits got a hit. I pushed the boat ahead as Kevin set the hook and it was on – game time. Michael was strapped in and ready to catch this monster fish. Michael fought his huge Hammerhead Shark all the way to the boat. The fish was just shy of 8 ft long.

Tight Lines!
