Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Labor Day Yellow Eye's in the Bahamas
Minus the rain, weather was perfect to head over to the Bahamas for a weekend getaway with friends and family for our annual Labor Day fishing trip in Bimini. Seas were flatter than a pancake and I was looking forward to fresh Yellow Eye. As Bimini is basically my second home, I know of some great spots to put fish in the box. A group of us left the Harbor around 9:00 AM and the fun began. "Deep dropping is like grocery shopping," as one of my buddies always said. It wasn't an instant bite but we did manage to reach our limit and enjoy fresh dinner on the dock Saturday night.
