Action Packed Fishing Aboard Hooked Up off the
Coast of Fort Lauderdale
Today we had a shared charter with Gary and Vannetta from Nixa Missouri and Bryan and Leah from Kitchener Canada.
We started out trolling with 2 planner boards running about 45 feet deep and 3 baits skipping across the surface.
Vannetta broke the ice when a nice Mahia Mahia crashed our right long bait. She jumped in the chair and the fight was on. After a good 5 min fight J.J. reached out and BAM he was in the boat.
Than Bryan caught a small black fin tuna.
Ok we had a couple of fish in the box so we brought in the trolling gear and out went the kites with live baits suspended from them.
Ok trap set and all of a sudden we seen a big splash next to our right long kite bait and this time Leah jumped in the chair and just like that another nice Mahia Mahia in the box. Now it was Gary's turn and sure enough BAM we were Hooked Up again and Gary landed another Mahia Mahia.
Than I seen a little swirl next to one of our kite baits and line started peeling off the reel. Again we were Hooked Up and we were back to the beginning of our line up so once again Vannetta was in the chair and the fight was on. This time we had no idea what we had on but once the fish got close enough for J.J. to make out what it was he got very excited and with one long reach out with the gaff YES a nice Wahoo now laid on the deck.
Guy's thanks again for fishing with us and I know you guys had a GREAT DINNER!!
Wow What an Action Packed fishing day aboard
