Fort Lauderdale Fishing with Top Shot Sportfishing Charter Boat and Capt. Zsak
Dave and Rick from California and Gary and John from Pennsylvania were down in Fort Lauderdale and decided to charter the Top Shot Sportfishing charter boat team to do some deep sea charter boat sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We had choppy seas ranging from 3 to 4 feet and the wind was blowing out of the southeast.
As we left the inlet, we headed to the northeast of Fort Lauderdale where a structure lies in 300 feet of water – we started the day fishing in this spot. The water had a deep blue color, as well as some north current going about a nautical knot. We put out two kites - a right kite and a left kite - with two live Goggle Eyes for baits per kite. We had a perfect spread of baits, and I knew a Sailfish would be showing up.
After some time of working the kites, a Sailfish's dorsal fin popped up on the left kite bait. Matt, our mate fed the Sailfish, and as the Sailfish got hooked, he came jumping out of the water. The Sailfish started ripping drag out and running all over to get away. Dave was the angler, and he did a super job reeling in the Sailfish to the side of the boat. The Sailfish was brought into the boat for photos, and was released into the water to swim away.
We went back to kite fishing and put the same set back out. This time a Mahi Mahi ate the Goggle Eye bait, and it gave us a good fight. The angler brought the Mahi to the side of the boat, where we gaffed him and put him on ice. Mahi's are good eating fish.
It was now time to head back to the dock. 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. At the dock, Matt filet the Mahi for the anglers to enjoy for tonight's dinner.
