South Florida Fishing Report

June 3, 2012

Yesterday the Lady Pamela crew fished the West Palm Beach KDW (kingfish, dolphin, wahoo) classic on our 36' Invincible, powered by triple 300hp Mercury Verado outboards. We had 300 live baits in our well so I knew we were well prepared to catch some fish. There were 202 boats in this tournament so there was lots of competition.

The tournament was for one day only, with lines in the water at 7 a.m. and back to the dock by 3 p.m. There were seven anglers on our boat and we were running up to 15 lines. There were times we had four fish on at one time. It was crazy nonstop action! We caught over 60 fish, including cobias, mahi-mahi, sailfish, kingfish and bonitos. Our biggest kingfish was 30 lbs, one cobia went 25 lbs, a mahi at 10 lbs, and angler Morgan even caught a 100 lb sailfish! What a day!

Bait Used: LIVE AND DEAD
Tackle Used: 20lb
Method Used:
Water Depth: 100-300
Water Temperature: 78.0
Wind Direction: southeast
