FISHING REPORTS
from some of the BEST PLACES TO FISH !
Fishing in Fort Lauderdale during the month of June
is truly satisfying. There is an abundance of activity inshore and offshore.
Take your pick or fish both sides, I can guarantee that you will go home with a
sore arm, a huge smile and a memory to last a lifetime.
Now on to the good stuff; fishing. In the late
afternoon, the inshore bite is hot and heavy for giant Tarpon. It’s common to
get 5 – 6 bites by 100 lb’ers during a 4 hour period. On June 5th, the Lady
Pamela II went 2 for 5 on the Tarpon bite just inside of Port Everglades. After
putting out our baits, it didn’t take long before he was on. The 5 ft Tarpon
started his series of jumps and our anglers enjoyed every second of the fight.
Throughout the night, we had 4 more strikes, one of those being a solid hook up.
After a few minutes on the line and one good jump, the fish managed to pull the
hook and give it back. Our anglers went home happy as clams with a story to tell
their friends.
Fishing offshore in Fort Lauderdale is nothing short of epic. Whether you’re
making a deep drop for Daytime Swordfish in 1,800 ft or trolling over the reef
just a mile offshore, you’ll find action. The Kingfish, Mahi, Barracuda, Blakfin
Tuna and Bonito will show themselves and stretch your line.
Not only is there action below, the Lady Pamela II has come across schools of
jumping porpoises swimming alongside the boat and a handful of sea turtles
mating on the surface.
We’ve found great success with Daytime Swordfishing, the bite has definitely
picked up. They’re hungry and willing to battle with you during the day and the
night. Broadbills are one the toughest fighting game fish in the Southeast,
average encounters last more than an hour. If you’re looking to tug on something
big, Swordfishing is the trip for you, during the day or night.
Summertime is Mahi time. June is well-known for its solid Dolphin bite as it is
peak season from now until the end of July. The seas lay down, the water heats
up and the weed lines drift on the surface. Weed lines are always a good sign
when searching for Mahi offshore. Come across a weed stack a few miles out and
chances are you’ll have a run in with a school of 30+ beautiful blue-ish green
Dorado’s looking to eat. They put up one hell of a fight and fillets make for a
great meal. Fresh Mahi – Mahi is a true South Florida souvenir.
June is also the time of year when we head across to the Bahamas for
sportfishing expeditions. The weather is perfect, the seas are calm and the
fishing is nearly endless. The yellow eye snapper bite is red hot in 850 ft
water. You can reach your limit in no time and leave ‘em biting for the
following day. The Lady Pamela II has traveled to Bimini quite a few times this
month and caught monster size Mahi – Mahi, Wahoo on the troll, giant Amberjacks
on the wrecks and we’ve seen two 500+ lb Blue Marlin jumping within feet of the
boat. How can you go wrong?
Fishing is strong and steady in all places with all techniques this time of
year. So, let’s get out there and catch some fish!
Sea ya on the water...
