Fort Lauderdale Fishing on Happy Day Today with Capt. Zsak

A great day for a fishing trip here in Fort Lauderdale FL aboard the Happy Day Today Topshotfishing team under clear blue skies, winds out of the east at 5 mph, 1-2 ft. seas. Mark D'Annolfo and son, Andrew, with family from Boston went on a deep sea fishing expedition. In celebration of Andrew's 13th birthday, the family gave him a fishing charter gift aboard the Happy Day Today out of Fort Lauderdale FL. Andrew was eager and excited to get out and do some fishing.

Twenty minutes after leaving the dock, lines were in the water at the sea buoy that sits in 120 ft. of water off of Fort Lauderdale FL, which is our drop off. The bottom here goes down very quickly - you will find yourself in 650 ft. of water a ¼ mile to the east of this sea buoy.

We had two plainers down, both with Mullet strips and sea witches in front. For surface baits, we had two Ballyhoos and two Bonito strips and a Ballyhoo daisy chain for a teaser. The trap was set. I trolled in and out over the drop off from 70 ft to 350 ft. of water heading to the north of Fort Lauderdale FL, and kept busy catching fish – Kingfish, Barracudas, Bonitos, Tunas. My golden rule is you do not leave fish to find fish. We wound up with a total of 18 fish in the four hour charter, with our largest one being a 24 lb. Kingfish, known in the fishing realm as an Anaconda.

With a smile on the birthday boy's face, it was time to head back to the dock at Bahia Mar 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.
