A family from Maryland, Daniel Hearn, father Stan, motherCarole and friend Bernell, chartered the Happy Day Today along with theTopshotfishing team to do some deep sea sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The whole family are avid anglers, and wereenthused about on an 8 fishing hour charter here in Fort Lauderdale FL.

Winds were out of the east northeast at 8 mph, seas running3-4 ft., temperature was in the mid 80?s. We left the dock at 7:30 am and fifteen minutes later lines were in thewater as we approached the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale in 120 ft. of water. We put two plainers down, one with a doublehook Bonito strip with a green and white sea witch and the other with a blackand purple sea witch. For surface baitswe had four Ballyhoos and a Ballyhoo daisy chain teaser. With the fish gods on the angler?s side, westarted off with a bang, catching one Kingfish after another after another,winding up with eight Kingfish, which we kept and releasing 18 Kingfish. From there I could see some birds working thearea off shore, so we trolled towards the birds. As I got close I could see a school of Mullets migrating to the south, which isa good indication that the predators will not be too far behind. We wound up catching four Tunas and twoBonitos in this area.

I kept working the area and one of the plainer rods bentover with the line exiting at an extremely fast rate and the rod tip bouncingup and down, which is a strong indication we had a Wahoo on the line. Stan reeled in the fastest fish in the ocean,a Wahoo, which are recorded at 64 mph. Jackson, our mate, leaned over the side to gaff the vertical stripe, jawsnapping Wahoo, weighing 24 lbs. We keptworking the area ? again the tell tale sign of a Wahoo appeared as Danielreeled in another Wahoo weighing 28 lbs.

From there we went wreck fishing and we brought it oneAmberjack and eight Snappers.

With a smile on the angler?s faces and the fish box full offish to be brought back to Maryland, everyone retired to the a/c salon for theride back to the dock at Bahia Mar 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.

Uncle and nephew, Anton Axefors and Lars Ekbers from Sweden were vacationing and visiting relativeshere in Fort Lauderdale. Their outdoor expedition included a visit to Holiday Parkin Everglades Cityto see the gators and a deep sea sport fishing charter with the Happy Day Todayalong with the Topshotfishing team in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

We had intermittent showers, along with the sun popping up;the temperature was in the mid 80?s, winds were out of the east at 10 mph, 2-3foot seas. These Swedish anglers havehad experience fishing in other oceans and were excited to encounter differentfishing techniques here in South Florida.

Fifteen minutes after leaving the dock at Bahia Mar, lineswere in the water in 120 ft. at the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale. We put down a #8 plainer with a 3 ? bluereflector drone spoon and five surface baits and a Ballyhoo dredge teaser. I started trolling crisscrossing the reef indepth of water ranging from 80 ft out to 200 ft. Our first strike was a Bonito in the 12 lb.range, followed by a few more Bonitos and a 16 lb. Kingfish.

From there I could see a color change running off to thenortheast of Fort Lauderdale. As I headed towards it, I could see the ripforming as the water was swirling around, which is an excellent avenue tofollow. With debris and bait fishpresent, the area looked very promising. Our left outrigger came down as Lars reeled in a Black Fin Tuna. As we kept trolling, we caught a total ofthree Tunas and two Barracudas. As Ikept working the color change/rip, a black shadow appeared on the dredge teaser? Sailfish. Jackson, our mate, dropped abait back to the Sailfish and on the 3rd attempt, we were hookedup. The Sailfish exited the water andtail-walked away from the boat showing his magnificent color and power. Ten minutes into the battle, the line wentslack as he dislodged the hook. As wetrolled again, this time the plainer rod bent over and the rod tip bounced upand down erratically, a tell tale sign it was a Wahoo. Anton was the angler and fifteen minuteslater Jacksongaffed the Wahoo weighing 21 lbs.

With happy smiles on their faces, the anglers retired to thea/c salon for the ride back to the dock at BahiaMar 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.
