Fort Lauderdale - Saltwater Fishing Report
Today was a carbon copy of past weather patterns – winds out of the east southeast, 5-7 mph with a moderate chop.
Nat Minloe from California chartered the Happy Day Today Topshot Fishing for an enjoyable fishing charter in Fort Lauderdale FL with his three sons and a school friend. Lucas, the youngest in the family at a ripe old age of 7, was the main angler on this fishing charter trip. With schools of Bonitos still in the area off of the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale, FL for the past two weeks, have brought in many predators to feed on them, such as a 400 lb. Blue Marlin, a 63 lb. Wahoo and numerous Sharks from Threshers to Golden Hammerheads.
We started off with surface baits – a ¾ ounce yellow feather with a Bonito strip behind it, and four Ballyhoos. The two deep lines consisted of a #3 drome spoon and a pink sea witch in front of a Bonito strip. Needless to say, Lucas had big shoes to fill since his older brothers were all good anglers, and fill them he did with his catches of Bonitos, King fish and Black Fin Tunas. As we were fishing around one of our wrecks in Fort Lauderdale FL, I noticed a school of Porpoises in the area. One of our deep rods bent over – as Lucas was bringing in a King fish, 50 ft. from the boat, a Porpoise appeared, grabbed the King fish and took all the line off the reel. At this point, Lucas was disappointed that he not only lost the King fish but that he didn't hook the Porpoise until I explained to him that Porpoises are protected mammals, and we do not want to harm them.
With a good catch of fish on the charter boat Happy Day Today Topshot Fishing, it was time to start heading back from our deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale FL to the dock at Bahia Mar. This ends another successful and adventurous deep sea fishing charter on the Happy Day Today/Topshot Fishing with Captain Zsak.
