Mike and Linda Ganje took advantage of their last chance toenjoy warm weather here in sunny Fort Lauderdale by going deep sea sportfishing in Fort Lauderdale FL aboard the Happy Day Today along with theTopshotfishing team before going back home to Minnesota.
With blue skies, winds out of the north at 12 mph,temperature in the mid 80?s, 2-3 ft. seas, we left the dock at Bahia Mar Marinaand 15 minutes later lines were in the water at the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdalewhich is 120 ft deep. If you venture offanother ? of a mile from the sea buoy, the depth of water will read 500 ft.
Our first north winds triggered the migration of Mulletscoming south down the coast, sited from shore out to 180 ft. of water. We have 34 artificial wrecks for fishing herein Fort Lauderdale, FL which attract bait fish and in return thepredators are not too far away.
We put two plainers down, both with double hook Bonitostrips with sea witches, and for surface baits we went with two Bonito strips,two Ballyhoos and a Ballyhoo daisy chain teaser. I fished over one wreck after another asLinda and Michael both took turns catching and bringing in the fish. I headed out to one of our deeper artificialwrecks that sits in 280 ft. of water. AsI approached the wreck, the depth recorder revealed a school of fish 110 ftabove the wreck. I took one engine outof gear and kept the other just idling so that the baits would sink downdeeper, as we picked away at the school of Kingfish over thewreck. Suddenly, one of our plainerrods bent over, hooked up, as the line screamed of the reel and then the rodtip started bouncing up and down. Withexcellent Wahoo fishing this week and the sight of the rod going up and down, wasa tell tale sign of a Wahoo hooked up, Michael was our angler, and he retrieved the line ? twenty minuteslater, the deep blue-purple torpedo appeared, with the silver vertical stripsflashing back and forth from side to side as he shaked his head. Jackson, our mate, started to wire the Wahoobut the Wahoo was not ready yet as he screamed line off again. After the second attempt, Jackson leaned over the side and gaffed the58? Wahoo, as his jaws exposed his razor sharp teeth.
With 8 Kingfish, 1 Barracuda, 3 Bonitos and a 41 lb. Wahoo,it was time to return to the dock while Mike and Linda retired to the a/c salonfor the ride back to the dock at Bahia Mar 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.
