Shipwreck Fishing in Ft Lauderdale, Florida!

March 19^th, 2010
Fishing in Fort Lauderdale is a creative way to socialize with clients, guests and employees in a stress free environment. Today, Ray & Larry brought a few business clients aboard the Lady Pamela for an all day fishing charter and had a great time. For the first few hours of fishing, the Mahi – Mahi were busting bait on the troll left and right. We caught 20 Dolphin fish, all too short to keep. After we had to leave the Mahi alone, we headed to a shipwreck to see who was home. Wreck fishing was red hot; we went 3 for 4 on the Amberjack bite and fought a 50lb Warsaw Grouper out of the wreck. Now Ray had dinner covered. We moved in to shallower water and our first drop produced a nice size Cobia. Wreck fishing made up for all those short Mahi!
An Amberjack's dark stripe extends from nose to in front of dorsal fin and "lights up" when fish is in feeding mode.
Amberjacks are aggressive predator fish that prowl the water column near obstructions from the surface to the bottom.
Warsaw groupers are classified as deep-water groupers since they inhabit reefs on the continental shelf break in waters 180 to 1700 feet deep.
Warsaw Grouper's are found in Belize, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States.
Cobia make seasonal migrations along the coasts in search of water in their preferred temperature range. Wintering in the Gulf of Mexico, they migrate north as far as Maryland in the Summer, passing through Florida in March.
