South Florida Ft Lauderdale report for Happy Day Today
With favorable winds out of the east northeast at ten-15 mph, blue waters nevertheless pushed in for the previous five days on the 2nd reef and Sailfish action nevertheless excellent, the anglers choice was to catch Mahi Mahis. As we acquired close to the sea buoy off of Fortin Lauderdale that sits in 120 ft. of drinking water. We started out fishing with the two deep lines which run about forty to 50 ft deep. The 2nd set of lines had been the out riggers, we use four Ballyhoos and the center rigger. The deep lines have both a silver 3 drone spoon and we also use a Sea Witch with a strip of Bonito as bait. On the bridge of the charter boat Happy Day Today, Captain Tommy is fishing two teasers, each are Pakula lures (with no hooks).
I headed to 1 of the synthetic wrecks that sit in 350 ft. of water north of Fortin Lauderdale FL. Our initial bite was from the right rigger and was a wonderful Black Bout Tuna. I held circling the wreck, picking away at a lot more Black Bout Tunas. I could see off in the distance a slick on the h2o. A great time to mention whether fishing on our charter boat or your private boat out of Fortin Lauderdale, a slick is normally a good area to fish. Simply because a slick has oil from fish that have been previously consumed (bait fish) by predatory fish and this is where the Mahi and Wahoo are feeding. As Mitch and I received nearer to the sargassum weeds and the slick, I could see a few of birds doing work the location, which is one more great indication of predatory fish.
All of a sudden, Mahi Mahi on the correct long rigger!!! Captain Pat introduced it the first Mahi Mahi of the day, adopted by all the rest of the captains using turns and catching a lot more Mahi Mahis. The center rigger came down, the line screamed off the reel, and I yelled down, We have a very good 1. For this fish, we cleared all the fishing lines. Captain Lou was the angler on this a single. Ultimately the fish jumped out of the drinking water and it looked like a postage stamp out in the distance. It is a Mahi Mahi and a Big One. 20-5 minutes later Captain Lou brought the bull Mahi Mahi to the aspect of the boat on thirty lb. exam line. With the Mahi Mahi in the boat, photographs ended up flying we had been all surprised by the bulls dimensions and elegance he weighed in at 38 lbs.
