Sailfish & Amberjack Action in Fort Lauderdale

January 28th, 2010

This morning, Jim and his two buddies joined the Lady Pamela II for some deep sea fishing in Fort Lauderdale. We had left over goggle eyes from the day before that we weren’t going to let go to waste. The kites went up and the fun began. Within four full hours of fishing, we went 4 for 6 on the Sailfish bite, not too bad. Nice catch guys!

On our afternoon trip, James Harrison’s family joined the Lady Pamela II for day two. The Sailfish disappeared by 1 PM but the shipwrecks were holding heavy. James’ father and family reeled in a few Bonito fish and fought 4 Amberjacks. Between two days of fishing in Fort Lauderdale, they went out with a bang; two nice size Sailfish, four Amberjacks and a few fish on the troll.

Tight Lines!

Ft Lauderdale Fishing, January Sailfish Bite

This morning a group from Finland joined the Lady Pamela II while visiting Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Conditions were perfect for a Sailfish to eat so we loaded up on live goggle eyes and hit the road. Blue water, a north swell and a rippin’ north current had Sailfish written all over it. Live bait kite fishing is key when looking for Sailfish and when they eat, it is incredible. Live goggle eyes were soon after suspended from the kites and we waited, but not for long. After our 3rd catch and release, our anglers were worn out and decided to call it a day.

We were so successful in the morning we were looking forward to our afternoon trip at 1. Bryan and his friends joined the Lady Pamela II for round two. The Sailfish bite never slowed down, it was non stop action all day. We headed back to the dock with another 3 flags flying from the rigger.

Fishing in Fort Lauderdale with Pittsburgh Steelers James Harrison

January 27th, 2010

Fort Lauderdale is brining in the New Year with several exciting events. The Super Bowl is back to South Florida for a record breaking 10th time and the Pro Bowl is honoring all star players somewhere other than Hawaii for the first time since 1979, Fort Lauderdale, Florida!

With that said, there are A list players and many devoted fans in Fort Lauderdale for the two biggest games of the year. James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers joined Captain Paul and me aboard the Lady Pamela II for a deep sea fishing adventure with his friends and family before the big game this Sunday.

James wanted to battle with something as big as him so we picked up the necessities (live goggle eyes) and headed offshore. Once we reached our destination, our spread consisted of 4 live goggle eyes dancing on the surface and 2 big shark baits below. We waited patiently for 45 minutes before the right short got a hit. Captain Paul set the hook and we were ready. James jumped into our ultimate fighting chair and the battle began off the transom. Our first Sailfish of the day totally impressed our anglers; both the fight and the missing bill.

James’ brother fought Sailfish #2 and once he got the fish to the boat it decided it wasn’t finished. James’ brother did a pass off to Dad, who decided to fight the Sailfish standing up rather than over the water. Job well done, we went 2 for 2 with two very nice fish. Our last stop of the day was at a shipwreck for James’ nephew. Our first bait on the bottom intrigued an Amberjack within minutes. Sea ya on the water…


Tight Lines & Good luck on Sunday James!
