All Day Dolphin Thursday Fishing Trip

Today, 14 people joined the Lady Pamela III for our All Day Dolphin Thursday fishing charter. With a few dozen fresh bonito strips and a lot of Ballyhoo, Darin and I were off to a good start. We left the dock at 8AM for a full day of deep sea fishing offshore in Fort Lauderdale. Our first two baits on the troll attracted two nice size Mahi - Mahi (Dolphin fish). Once we had our full spread in the water, the Blackfin Tuna and King Mackerel fish showed up. Fishing was non-stop all day. We caught a few big Bonito, 12 Blackfin Tuna, 8 King Mackerel, 2 Mahi - Mahi and a 40 lb Black Grouper. The Black Grouper ate on the troll in 70 ft of water. You aren’t allowed to keep Black Grouper fish, so we caught and expertly released him back into the blue for a future fight.

The eating fish are biting nicely offshore in Fort Lauderdale.
