Fishing with Brian and the one that got away
February 28th, 2013
Here we are on the last day of the shortest month and WOW what a way to end February.
We fished with Brain from New York and from the second Brian got on board we knew this guy wanted to catch a SEA MONSTER!!
Ok so we started out catching some small bonitos and a kingfish for bait.
Once we had all the bait we needed we went right out to 350 feet of water and set out all the baits and now the trap was set.
We waited and waited till at last BAM one of the big shark rods bent over and line started screaming off the reel.
Brain wasted no time getting in the chair and the fight was on.
After what seemed forever Brain finally had his shark getting closer and closer to the boat. We got the leader just out of reach when the shark made one more run and RATS got off ^&^$&%%&!!
Wells that's fishing BUT we did manage to get 1 quick picture from the bridge before he got away.
Brain you are first class guy and we are looking forward to fishing with you again next time your down.

Sharks Are Biting off the coast of Fort Lauderdale
February 23rd, 2013
Today we fished with John from South Carolina and Travis from Alabama.
We picked up some live bait at the live bait boat and went right out to 350 feet of water.
We set out our kites with 3 live baits suspended from them along with one big shark bait also suspended from the kites.
We also set a shark bait down about 150 feet and last but not least anther shark bait on the bottom.
Ok the trap was set and now all we needed was for some big sea monster to come along and take a bite.
And BAM that's just what happen and this morning not only did we catch a silky shark but we also caught a nice 5 foot plus hammerhead shark.
As we got back to the dock we had Jim along with his son Jim from Pennsylvania ready and eager to give it a shot.
Once again we went right to kite fishing even though we were losing our wind but not before BAM we got Hooked Up with this Monster sailfish.
And after a good 15 to 20 min battle we finally got Jim's big sail to the boat.
Thanks again to all of our anglers for fishing with us aboard the Hooked Up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.
