Fort Lauderdale Fishing with Top Shot Sportfishing Charter Boat and Capt. Zsak
Jason, Paul, Niles and Matt from Toronto chartered the Top Shot Sportfishing charter boat team to do some deep sea charter boat sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The guys were looking for good catches and lots of action, which is what we set out to accomplish. We had clear skies and warm weather, with the days high at 75 degrees.
The best method of fishing has been trolling the reef from 100 ft. to 475 ft. of water. We left the dock and within 15-20 minutes we were in 120 ft. of water, 1.8 miles from shore south of Fort Lauderdale. We set out two plainers, a #8 and a #6, using Bonito strip baits and a sea witch. For surface baits we went with four Ballyhoos.
We zig zagged from 200 to 400 ft. of water heading south of Fort Lauderdale and started getting bites on both the plainer rods and the rigger line. The anglers took turns catching and wiring in the fish and caught one Sailfish, two Wahoos weighing 15 lbs. each and three Bonitos.
The guys wanted to try for a Shark, so next we got three Bonito Shark baits ready and put them out in 300 ft. of water – one on the bottom, one midrange and one on the surface. Shark fishing is a waiting game, and we tried for an hour but unfortunately, did not catch a Shark.
It was now time to head back to the dock. The anglers retired into the a/c salon and enjoyed the relaxing trip back to the dock at Bahia Bar Yachting Center, 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316. Matt, our mate, filet the fish for the angler to take home and enjoy.
