Fishing Fort Lauderdale aboard Hooked Up We’ve gotten through summer and fall is looking great so far. With a little north current the bottom fishing has been great. The vermilion snappers along with a grouper here and there have made for some great dinners for our anglers. Also some of our bigger barracudas have moved into our shallow wrecks and are a blast to fight on our light tackle. Also this is one of the most exciting times of the year to fish for the showers. What is fishing the showers you say well I’ll explain. For some reason this time of the year we have found the sailfish and Mahia mahia seem to come in to real shallow water chasing the ballyhoo. This is a great way to really experience true sport fishing. What we do is catch some live ballyhoo and look for the birds and for these ballyhoo to come to the surface and while these bigger fish are chasing them you can see them showering on the surface and we try to run into the direction they are going and cast these live ballyhoo into them. It is very exciting and when it all comes together it is fast and furious A real adrenaline rush. Not to mention we are fishing with spinning rods so once you get hooked up the fight is a blast with this light tackle.

Oct 14 Today we went out deep-sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale with Anglia and Loren from Knoxville Tenn. We started out trolling the reef looking for some king fish or bonitos with 2 planner board running about 45 feet down and 3 baits skipping across the surface. At first fishing was slow but a bit of trolling it was the surface baits that paid off with Mahi mahi. Than we worked out way to a ship wreck where caught a few small bonitos and quickly set these live bonito out as live bait. And it paid off with Loren landing this big barracuda. Girl’s thanks again for fishing with us aboard Hooked Up off the coast of fort Lauderdale. Captain Taco

Oct 134 WOW what a fun day today fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. We set out fishing with John his wife Brook their daughter Ella and last but by all means not lease their son Easton. They came down from Knoxville Tenn. however they happen to be natives of South Florida and they miss going out fishing for some Mahi Mahi. So we all decided to go for it and heck yea the right choice was made once we got to about 800 feet of water sure enough the fish showed up and we started catching. Now truth being told here I’ve got to take a second once again (JOHN WHAT ARE YOU THINKINH!!) LOL while John was fighting this 30 plus pounder he stopped to put Easton on his lap to let him try to help and yep you guessed it fish got away. LOL John thanks again you and your family was a blast to fish with and we are looking forward to our next trip together.
