Good morning guys - Thanks again for a memorable 1st-time deep sea fishing
experience. Paul worked his butt off keeping the lines rigged and advising
us on landing the fish successfully! Dave did a great job w/ the boat and
we appreciated him picking us up and sending our LP2 Tee shirts.

We especially enjoyed landing the scalloped hammerhead. I have attached a
picture for you to use on your website if you wish. Our buddy Mike Petratis
has several more pictures, and I’m sure he’ll send you guys a couple of
his…

Hope to see you again sometime!

Hammerhead Shark Fishing aboard the Lady Pamela II in Ft Lauderdale, Florida

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

This afternoon, we set sail with Gina, Julie and Scott from Mississippi. We left Lauderdale Marina for a 1 PM start with trolling gear ready to go. Our gang was anxious to reel but the fish weren’t ready to eat. Fishing started slow but picked up within the hour. We landed two Kingfish, two Bonito and two 12” Barracudas. Justin, the mate, wanted to spice things up so he rigged a few big baits to drop. Justin pulled out the big boy 130 Internationals and the soaking began. Everyone was chit chattin’ in the cockpit and all of a sudden the balloon went under, quick! I floored the boat ahead, set the hooks and it was on. Julie, a first timer at sea, jumped into the chair with her game face on. It was a 30 minute battle between Julie and a huge Hammerhead shark and she didn’t stop reeling once! Julie won the battle. She got her game fish to the transom before cutting the line. Congrats on your first saltwater game fish Julie!

Inshore Fishing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Last night, the Bentley Family joined the Lady Pamela II for an inshore evening trip. We left Lauderdale Marina around 5 PM and by 5:10 PM we were hooked. It was a long fight on 30 lb tackle with a Bull Shark as big as their son. Once we got him to the boat, we got a few shots of the shark and cut him loose.

We anchored up and set the lines for round two. Jack Crevalles were hitin’ the deck left and right. Our anglers from Illinois landed twelve 10 lb Jacks and lost a big Barracuda.
