Fishing today was great, with great people on board the Lady Pamela II. It was a typical summer morning in Fort Lauderdale, flat calm seas and a slight breeze coming out of the SE at 5mph. As soon as we broke the inlet, the fresh bonito strips and seawitches went in the water and we began trolling. The King Mackerel and Bonito fish weren’t hiding. We caught 6 Kingfish and 10 Bonito fish in 3 hrs of fishing. Right around the 3 hr mark, I noticed a Sailfish poking at the right short along with a King Mackerel and a Barracuda on the line, tripleheader. After the Sailfish catch, we continued to troll the reef and the King Mackerel continued to bite.

The Lady Pamela III went deep sea fishing in the afternoon with a family from Canada. Trolling led to Shark fishing which led to a wicked bite from a big Nurse Shark. Rusty, Eric and all the anglers who pitched in did a great job.

Ever been sport fishing in the Bahamas? Did you know that the Bahamas is only a short 55 mile run from Fort Lauderdale? Fishing in the Bahamas offers some of the best fishing in the world.

Swordfishing Report - Saturday Night Swordfishing Trip aboard the Lady Pamela III

Every Saturday night we run the Drift Fishing - Saturday Night Swordfishing Trip for $200 per person aboard the Lady Pamela III. We like to leave the dock at 6 PM sharp to ensure we are situated by sundown. Tonight, the rain caused us to leave at 7:30, but no biggie. Thanks to the flat calm seas, we ran 38 MPH all the way to Swordfish grounds; it made for a very comfortable ride for Andy, John, Sam and Anna. Once we reached our destination of 20 miles offshore Fort Lauderdale in the Gulfstream, we set up 2 recreational buoys and 5 rods with 130 International reels. Our first drift didn’t produce any bites. The current was rippin’ at 3.8 MPH so we packed up and moved 7 miles to the south. No nibbles there either. At 1 AM we were supposed to head back to the dock but Andy and I wanted to make another drift and try one last time. It was well worth it. At 3 AM we were pulling our gear and our last buoy was tight with a large Swordfish. We told John to put on the gloves; he was hand lining this one to the boat. He laughed. It took Tim 45 minutes to get the Swordfish to the boat. Andy threw the Harpoon and we called it a night. The Swordfish weighed in at 200 lb’s, 115″ overall length, 73″ short.

Fort Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing Report

Fishing in Fort Lauderdale was great today. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and I was working the pit which I don’t get to do much. As soon as we cleared Port Everglades we ran to the large container ship offshore to catch speedos for live bait. After we got our live bait situation covered, we bounced from ship wreck to ship wreck making drops. Our first and second drop, no bite. On our third drop, we got a bite but the fish fell off. On our fourth drop, a huge Barracuda ate the whole speedo. After our Barracuda catch, we headed into 200 ft of water and caught a 30″ Almaco Jack, we expertly let him go shortly after the catch. Our last spot of the day produced a large Warsaw Grouper bite.

Drift Fishing starting at $45 per person, call today to learn about other fishing excursions we offer aboard the Lady Pamela Fishing Fleet.

Fort Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing

Today, Captain Paul and I went deep sea fishing at 1 PM on a 4 hour fishing charter. Live bait was a must so we made a pit stop at the can for speedos and bluerunners. It was short and sweet, we loaded up on live bait and hit the road. We ran to the south, dropped our first bait down and got the bite immediately. Captain Paul gave it all he had but the fish released itself. Round two was an instant bite by a 50lb Warsaw Grouper. Round three produced a very nice bite by a 40lb Amberjack. The action didn’t stop there. Right after we caught the Amberjack, a 6 ft Hammerhead Shark was tailing on the surface within feet from the boat. We pitched a bait right in front of it, but no reaction. I guess he wasn’t hungry.

Fishing was red hot today. We started out the morning “makin’ bait”; the blue runners, speedos and rainbow runners were cooperating quite nicely. We began trolling in 80-230 ft of water with 6 rods, 4 on the surface and 2 planner rods down 70 ft. The sea witches on the planner rods were attracting King Mackerel after King Mackerel anywhere between 90 and 130 ft of water on the reef. After 6 nice Kingfish, we got a big bite by a summertime Sailfish on the left planner. We got the Sailfish up but lost the 4 ft Sailfish just 3 ft from the boat, bummer.

Drift Fishing in Fort Lauderdale - All Day Dolphin Thursday

Every Thursday, the Lady Pamela III sets sail for an All Day Dolphin trip. Today, Captain Adam left the dock with nine people and had them catching Bonito fish, King Mackerel and Blackfin Tuna within the first hour of fishing. Shortly after they loaded up on King Mackerel, Blackfin Tuna and Bonito fish, they ran to the 57 line 8 miles offshore and found the mother load in 900 ft of water. It was Mahi after Mahi and Wahoo after Wahoo. The biggest Mahi weighed in at 25 lb’s along with a 10 lb Wahoo fish. The All Day Dolphin Trip was a huge success, they ended their day of fishing with 10 nice size Mahi - Mahi and 8 Wahoo fish.

Hey Guys!

Had a great time Thursday on Lady Pamela III, as promised I have the pictures of our trip for that day and the nice group photo you wanted for your website w/ me in the center w/ that big ol cow dolphin.

Sincerely,

Randy
