Fishing Fort Lauderdale on Happy Day Today with Capt. Zsak
A graduation from college gift of a sport fishing charter was given to Ryan Pjescich by his mother, Thea, aboard the Happy Day Today along with the Topshotfishing team in Fort Lauderdale FL. We had winds out of the east at 12 miles an hour, blue waters pushed into 80 ft. of water, water temperature at 78 degrees
Fifteen minutes after leaving the dock and purchasing a dozen live Goggle Eyes, lines were in the water at 120 ft. by the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale FL, less than 2 miles from shore. We put two plainers down, both with double hook Bonito strips and sea witches in front. For surface baits we went with two Ballyhoos and one jap feather.
As we trolled over the reefs catching a couple of Bonitos and Kingfish, a color change was forming – a perfect avenue for fish to migrate through. With two kites up and two live Goggle Eyes from each kite, the action started. Our first strike was a Mahi Mahi from the right long kite weighing in at 15 lbs – Thea was the angler. The next few strikes were Kingfish – Ryan hooked up a total of 5 Kingfish, he brought in 3 weighing between 10-20 lbs, but two got away. From there we set up the kite again – this time an explosion occurred from the right short kite as water flew up. The line screamed and exited out of the reel at a very fast pace as the fish sounded - it was a good indication this was a Tuna. Twenty-five minutes later, Ryan brought the Tuna to the boat as Jackson, our mate, gaffed the Tuna weighing 29 lbs. From there, another tuna was caught weighing, 15 lbs.
With plenty of food for tonight's dinner, it was time to head back to the dock at Bahia Mar 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.
