Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fort Lauderdale Fishing charter/ Daily Blog
Saturday, January 16, 2010

One thing about Fort Lauderdale fishing and Bachelor party groups, you have to be young to handle the nightlife and then go fishing first thing in the morning. We ALL know where Bachelor groups go at night and with the wind blowing fairly hard, we headed out into 3-5' seas with our live bait aboard.
While we didn't have to wait long for the night before to take its toll on one of our passengers, we did have to wait some for our first bite. After hooking this quite cooperative Sailfish, allowing us to leave our kites up hoping for another bite, after about 40 minutes, our soon to be Groom released his first Sailfish.
It wasn't long after that the group called it quits to give our now two seasick buddies a break. With the grief they were giving him, I was surprised. LOL
Our afternoon charter was with Tony, Tyler, his son and Deanne. Seas had become extremely choppy and getting out and set up was a chore. Once there, things settled down and with fish biting around us, we waited somewhat impatiently for our bite.
We had a mystery bite that didn't look like a Sail but could have been. Most Sails don't make huge splashes when they eat, but the bait came back with no teeth marks and somewhat smooshed… is that a word? LOL Common for Sailfish.
Young Tommy hadn't missed a Sail in 3 days and soon another bite, this time a sail for sure, was up, ate and somehow got a free meal out of the deal. No connection.
There he, long left. Another shot, we get tight… and he's gone. Zero for 2 for sure we know of.
Suddenly, the right short begins to walk away. With the third time being a charm, we hook a fish and Deanne jumped in the chair and began the fight.
Seas were rough and staying ahead of this fish became impossible. He began dragging us toward the rest of the fleet and at one point, we had another boat's kite bait just outside our rigger. After about 30 minutes or so, Deanne had her fish close to the boat where he was boated, measured and released.
At 88", quite a prize and we'd had enough for the day and headed home.

Is she happy or what? We'll be looking for the video from her on the boating of the fish.
Hope to see you again soon Tony…
