Today we started out fishing with Kristen and Bruce down from Chicago and Kristen’s parents Harold and Lois from Plantation Florida.

We started out our Fort Lauderdale fishing trip by catching some small bonitos than we sent them right back out there with trouble hooks hooked in their head and tail. We fished 3 of these live baits on the surface and 1 down about 90 feet on a downrigger.

We ended up catching a nice silky shark on the downrigger and than all hell broke lose when a Wahoo took one of our surface baits.

Bruce jumped in the chair and the fight was on. After a good 10 min back and forth tug a war Bruce got his fish within gaffing range and BAM he was in the box.

Soon there after we had another shot at a Wahoo but this was a lucky fish and just at the last second shook his head and some how got unhooked. (RATS)

To all of our anglers this morning thanks again for fishing with us and I am looking forward to fishing with you guys again this Feb ob March.

As we got back to the dock we had afternoon trip eager to give their luck a shot at some deep-sea fishing aboard Hooked Up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.

We had Lori and Don and a bunch of little people 7-year-old David, 10-year-old Callie, 9-year-old John and 5 year old Mathew.

We knew we had our hands full with fishing being on the slow side today so we went right after little bonitos and thanks god they were biting.

After everyone caught plenty of small fish we set out some live baits out over a ledge and BAM one of our rods bent over and we were Hooked Up. Little David jumped in the chair and the fight was on.

After a good 12 min fight David had his 37-inch barracuda to the boat. Way to go David.

Thanks again to all of our anglers today for fishing with us aboard the hooked Up.
