Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
fort lauderdale
Today was my first day back from the Safari Club International's hunting and fishing convention in Las Vegas. Lady Pamela II Sportfishing had a booth at the convention, so it was a busy week promoting the outstanding angling we have right here in Ft. Lauderdale.
I was excited get back out on the water with Jeremy and his friends from Arizona, as they joined us for an all day fishing trip. We picked up a few dozen live goggleyes and headed out to do some trolling. Right off the bat we caught a few short kingfish and some small blackfin tunas. We then decided to move on to some kite fishing. Around 12:00 noon we caught a nice sailfish. It was an awesome bite and Jeremy was tickled pink about catching his first billfish! That was the only sail of the day, but we did land some mahi-mahi in the ten pound range off the kites. It's pretty spectacular to see mahi crashing across the sea surface chasing the baits. What can I say, just another great Ft. Lauderdale fishing trip!
