Spring is Here and so are the Sailfish off the coast of fort Lauderdale

April 3rd, 2012

Today we fished with Bob from Tallassee Florida, John from Tampa Florida, Larry from parts unknown and Joe from Houston Texas.

Today we had good north current and crisp blue water and off the coast of Fort Lauderdale this time of the year with these great conditions it can mean SAILFISH. So that just what we were after with 2 kites flying high and 2 baits suspended from each kite. The trap was set and from there it wasn't long till we got our first bite.

A sailfish popped up on the left long kite bait and Larry jumped in the chair. The fight was on!!

At first this fish was jumping all over the place but once he settled down the grueling back and forth tug a war was on. Larry hung in there and within 20 min we had our first fish of the day caught.

Ok bats set right back out in the kites and BAM a big splash by our right long kite bait and just like that we were Hooked Up again. This time John jumped in the chair and after a 10 min fight up popped this monster bomber bonito.

Ok not a sailfish but wow what a fight.

Ok right back to it and YES another sail on the right long kite bait and this time Joe jumped in the chair. And yep after a good 20 min anther fine catch aboard the Hooked Up.

Guy's thanks again for fishing with us aboard the Hooked Up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.

Finally the Sailfish are here off the coast of Fort Lauderdale
