Vacationing, I had the opportunity to do a little fishing in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Via google search, came upon FoxSea Sportfishing, a 53 foot Hatteras Sportfish in Ft. Lauderdale about 5 minutes from my hotel. Captain J.B. Sirgany and first mate Mike were super friendly and helpful, promised I could get out, even though I was a party of ONE. Waiting for the boat to leave i was watching 10lb Crevalle Jack schooling around our boat and destroying anything that moved. Crazy fish.

Get out we did. The weather was gorgeous, the water surface temp was 87 degrees F. We trolled bonito strips and rigged ballyhoo targeting King Mackerel, Bonito and Sailfish. We marked lots of fish, saw flyingfish busting around the boat, and nailed a few bonito right away. This was a only a 3 hour trip, so the captain had limited options. We trolled up a ~20lb King Mackerel in about 120 feet of water on 30lb class tackle and continued hunting the area. At one point we had a baby sailfish bill swipe our ballyhoo rig.

Before I knew it, was time to head in. The restaurant at my resort would not cook the mackerel so i gave it to the boat and they were grateful. I recommend the FoxSea, professional,helpful, friendly. We had a great time. Check them out. http://www.foxseacharters.com/foxsea_florida_sportfishing.html
