Fort Lauderdale Fishing with Top Shot Sportfishing Charter Boat and Capt. Zsak
Scott and Ashley Magliavo, from Houston, Texas, along with their friends chartered the Top Shot Sportfishing charter boat team to do some deep-sea charter boat sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale, FL. As the anglers the boarded the boat, I asked Scott what type of fishing he was interested in, and his response was that any fish will do.
We headed out the inlet and started trolling by the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale, 1.8 miles from shore at 120 ft. of water. If you venture off another quarter of a mile, you would find yourself in 500 ft. of water due to our extreme drop off.
We put out two #8 plainers with sea witches and doubled hooked Bonito strips. For surface baits we went with 4 Ballyhoos. We trolled the reefs ranging from 80 ft. of water out to 200 ft. of water, zig zagging in and out. We kept trolling to the south and headed towards some of our 34 artificial wrecks here in Fort Lauderdale ranging from tug boats to 504 ft. freighters. We started catching Kingfish around one wreck that sits in 104 ft. of water. The anglers took turns bringing in their catches and wound up with 8 Kingfish – one weighing in at 14 lbs.
As we trolled back to the sea buoy in Ft. Lauderdale, we caught three other Bonitos. The anglers retired into the a/c salon and enjoyed the relaxing trip back to the dock at Bahia Bar Yachting Center, 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.
