Sailfishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Florida aboard Hooked Up, Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing Fort Lauderdale

January 17th, 2012

Today we set out fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale with Paul from Main, Eric from Texas, Ivan from Ney York and Laura from St Louis.
We started out trolling the reef trying to catch a few kingfish or bonitos but all we ended up with was a black fin tuna landed by Eric.
Ok so in came the trolling gear and out went the kites. We were going for hero or zero.
Soon after setting all the live baits out here came our day saver when this big sailfish swim by and just like that BAM things turned around for us. Paul jumped in the chair and the fight was on.

After a good 20 min of a back and forth tug a war at last Paul got his sailfish to the side of the boat.

Nice going Paul.
To all of our anglers today; thanks for fishing with us aboard the Hooked up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.

More Great Fishing in Fort Lauderdale
Today we fished with D.J. and Abby from Fort Lauderdale and Lisa, Abby and Annie from Chicago Il.
We went right to kite fishing for sailfish, sharks Mahi Mahi or anything we could get to take a bite.
As it turned out we waited and waited with no bites at all.
Than all at once we saw a big very big hammerhead shark coming in on one of our shark baits that was suspended off the kite. And just like that we were Hooked Up. As we started fighting this 300-pound plus shark another hammerhead swam up and ate one of our sailfish baits that was also suspended from our kites.
Like they say fishing is hours of boredom interrupted by moments of panic and chaos.
We ended up catching this 300 hundred pounder to the side of the boat and managed to get 2 out of the 3 hooks out of him and watched him swim away in great shape and our second shark finally managed to work his way through the leader and also swim away in good shape.
Guy’s thanks again for fishing with us aboard the Hooked Up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.
