Dave and John get whipped fishing the bottom off the coast of Ft Lauderdale

April 10th, 2012

Today we had a birthday boy Dave out celebrating his 50th B Day with his good friend John both from M.N.

We started out trolling catching a few small bonitos but for the most part trolling was on the slow side so we decided to try something new.

We brought in the trolling gear and dropped one of these small bonitos down 210 feet to a shipwreck.

The second the bait hit the bottom BAM the rod bent over and Birthday boy jumped in the chair.

Now he gets to feel what it's like to fight a big fish @ 50 years old. (LOL)

10 min later up pops this big amber jack.

Way to go Dave well if it worked once what the heck down went another live bait and again BAM now all the razzing John was giving Dave comes back to hunt him. (LOL)

What a fun fishing trip! Thanks again guys and once again Happy B Day Dave.
