Summary

April 1, 2015

This week has been a mixed bag with fishing, mainly associated with weather changes. On Sunday we went kite fishing for sailfish right after a cold front came through, and the billfishing was awesome. We went 12 for 19 on the sailfish bite and boy it was busy in the cockpit. We had rods bending, reels screaming, fish jumping, and our anglers hootin’ and hollerin’! The day after the front went by the billfishing completely dropped off, but the Lady Pamela II found a few dolphin, along with some kingfish and blackfin tunas.

The last couple days of fishing has been all about the game sharks. Hammerheads and silky sharks are really starting to come through the Ft. Lauderdale area as they migrate from the north to the south.

At 15 years old, I worked at the Lauderdale Marina fuel docks after school and over the weekends. It was there that I met many other fishermen who invited me to fish on their boats. I was young and eager and happy to go along. The following year, I worked at a tournament tackle shop and was asked to fish the Bahamas Billfish Championship. I am still involved in tournament fishing as my time allows.
