Today we had Jim and his son D.J. our again for a few hours of deep sea fishing again.

Today Jim let us know that they had caught plenty of kings and bonitos yesterday and today they wanted to try landing a big fish like a shark, sailfish, tuna or anything big.

We went right out to 350 feet of water and set our 3 big dead bonitos. One 350 down on the bottom one about 150 feet down and a 3^rd right on the surface. I wish I had a great ending to this story but we never did get that BIG bite we were hoping for.

So we ended the trip trolling the reef and catching a few more king fish.

Jim and D.J. thanks again for fishing aboard the Hooked Up and we hope we get a chance to fish with you guys this January when the sails are around.

Today we had Jim from Ohio and his son D.J. and their close friends Jim and his son Princess that’s right princess and if you seen this BIG guy you know he may be a lot of things but Princess he is not but that’s what his dad Jim called him and that’s what he said his name was so who am I to argue. (LOL)

Anyway back to the fishing. We trolled the reef with our 2 planners running about 45 feet deep and three surface baits skipping across the surface.

And once again the reef produced kings and bonitos. We ended up catching 8 kings and 2 bonitos.

As we pulled back to the dock we had John from Panama City and Michael and his son Lucas waiting for us.

And once again we went right to trolling the reef catching 8 nice king fish.

Thanks to all of our anglers today for fishing aboard the Hooked Up.

Today we had the family from Kansas City aboard for some deep sea fishing. We had Khyle his son Logan and his mom Pat we also had Dan his daughter Jordan and his wife whose name we never got (sorry)

Today before we started trolling we stopped and caught some live ballyhoos so we could do a little sail fishing after trolling.

Once we caught our live baits we went to trolling and while we did manage to catch a few bonitos, kings and one nice barracuda trolling was a lot slower then is has been so we cut it a bit short and set out our live ballyhoos hoping to run across a sail fish.

After a good hour and a half with no luck on the live baits we ended the trip trolling once again and catching another king fish.

Khyle we know you guys had a ball but honestly fishing was a bit slower than it has been so we are looking forward to fishing with you again tomorrow to make it up to you guys.

Thanks again and we’ll see you in the morning.

Today we were invited on a convention with some of the other local charter boats here in Ft Lauderdale and we ended up with John from Atlanta Georgia, Steve and Bud from Houston Texas, Matt from Boston and Marty from Park Land Florida.

We decided to go trolling south on the reef off the coast of Ft Lauderdale but in hindsight it was a good move and a bad move all at the same time.

You see the Navy was conducting some kind of research just outside of where we were trolling and we had been informed that we could not move off shore any further than we already were. I’ll get back to this in a min.

So off we went trolling our way down the reef with our 2 planners running about 45 feet down and our 3 surface baits skipping across the surface. We were catching bonitos and kings all the way down. Our convention coordinator had arranged for us to pick up a dozen goggle eyes on our way out. (Live baits)

Since we had the live baits along with the fact that we already had a box full of king fish and bonitos we decided to bring in the trolling great and set out 2 kites with two live baits suspended from each kite.

That’s when it happen!! All of a sudden out of nowhere popped up this 5 to 6 foot hammer head shark and he was hungry. Once he got a scent of our baits he was on it in no time. We were Hooked Up and we had a good shot at catching this fish because Captain Greg had put on wire leaders due to all the king fish that had been around.

At first things looked pretty good for us but then the shark decided he did not like this sport fishing game so much and headed off shore right toward where we were not allowed to go.

(O @#%#@%&*what to do??)Really there was nothing we could do. We tried tightening up the drag as much as we could without breaking the line but that never even slowed him down and before we knew it BANG we were out of line and he was gone. (RATS)

Ok back to fishing we set the baits right back out there and managed to catch a few more kings and bonitos.

Then all of a sudden one of our kite baits went down but no one seen what grabbed it. All at once this big sailfish came jumping out of the water and we were Hooked Up again. This time John jumped in the chair and the fight was on. This fish also headed off shore a bit but we were able to turn him around and after a good 15 min fight John had his big sailfish to the side of the boat. They got a couple of photos of the fish in the water and we set him free.

Way to go john.

Guys please send me the photos I would love to post them.

That’s all for now but stay tuned for tomorrow’s big game action off the coast of Ft Lauderdale.

Today we started out our day with a shared charter with Bob and Sam from DeKalb IL and Scott and Ken from South Florida.

And yes once again the reef was producing fish in great numbers. While we only caught a couple kingfish we filled the box with bonitos one after another.

I think we kept the boys a little busy today. (LOL)

As we got back to the dock we had a young family from Bogota Colombia Andres, Sylva, Juan and Daniel waiting for us and eager to give their luck a shot at some deep sea fishing aboard the Hooked Up.

And yes the king and bonitos were once again biting but this time after catching a bunch of kings and bonitos we decided to try a bit of wreck fishing.

Once we worked our way down to a ship wreck about 7 miles south of Port Everglades we set out a live bonito and as soon as we got the bait out there Bam the water exploded the rod bent over and line was peeling off the reel Andres grabbed the rod and the fight was on.

Now I’ve got to take a second to say that I watch so many dads take their sons fishing and I know that they are doing it all for their sons BUT you would not believe how many dads forget that their sons are even on the boat when there is a big fish on the other end of the rod. (LOL) I guess it is just a man thing. But I must say that Andres did do a great job working this fish away from the wreck and the kids were cheering him on.

After a good 15 min back and forth tug a war Andres finally got his big barracuda to the boat for a couple quick photos and we watched him swim away in good shape.

To all of our anglers today that’s for a great day of fishing.

Ok so July is behind us along with most of the hurricane season and the kings and bonitos are still biting like mad dogs.

We started out August fishing with Paul from Montreal Canada and Wendy from Minnesota.

Once again we trolled the reef with 2 planner boards running deep and 3 baits skipping across the surface.

Once again the planners were the big hit. While we did catch a couple bonitos on our surface baits it was the planners that produced all the king fish and most of the bonitos.

Guys thanks again for fishing with us aboard the Hooked Up and hope to see you guys again in January when the sails are running and when it’s cold as heck up there. (LOL)

Today we started out with Joe from South Florida and Peter and Ed from Texas.

Once again we went right to trolling the reef looking for some king fish and or bonitos.

Once again it was our planner boards that paid off in a big way. While we did not catch any kings we caught more bonitos than we knew what to do with.

By the way the bonitos are the only none edible fish that we do harvest because we only catch them in any kind of numbers in the summer time and we try to stock up with bonito strips to hold us over for the rest of the year.

While they are not a good eating fish they will dam sure pull on the other end and make a big man look like a little girl. (LOL)

As we pulled in at the dock we had our afternoon trip waiting on us.

Another bachelor party what the heck is going on this is like our 4 bachelor party in a week.

We had Tyler the man of the day Mathew, Jay and Shawn all from New York and Bart from South Carolina and last but not least Michael from Ft Lauderdale Florida.

I am sorry to say that fishing was just slow this afternoon and while we tried everything all we could catch was 1 king fish and one bonito.

BUT the beers went down good I am not sure how many beers they drank but I think it might be some kind of world record. (LOL)

Tyler best of luck and sorry about the slow fishing.

Today we had Eric’s best friends aboard to celebrate Eric’s last day as a single man. Eric from South Florida his good friend John from Dc and Scott from New York City and Cody, Aaron and Colin all from Denver Colorado.

We once again started out trolling the reef but today the kings were biting like mad dogs and we ended up with 8 nice kings between 10 and 14 pounds each and 5 baracudas and a couple of small bonitios.

Thanks again to all of our anglers today for a great day of deep sea fishing.

Today we started out fishing with Scott, Carolyn, Erik, John and Jennifer.

We started out trolling to the south working our way to a ship wreck that lay off the coast of Hallandale in about 180 foot of water. On our way down we were trolling with two deep lines on planner boards running about 45 feet down and 3 baits skipping across the surface. Trolling started out a bit on the slow side but we did manage to catch 4 or 5 bonitos on our way down.

Once we got to the ship wreck we brought in all the trolling gear and started trolling around the wreck with a couple of small clark spoons and caught a few small bonitos. Than we set the small bonitos out with trouble hooks in them.

Ok now the trap was set and we started slowly trolling these live bonitos around the wreck. Still having a hard time getting the bite J.J. set one of the live baits down on a down rigger about 60 feet down. That’s when all hell broke loose. The rod bent over and line started peeling off the reel. Erik grabbed the spinner rod and the fight was on. For a while we just could not seem to budge the fish and we were thinking that he might have us hung up in the wreck but after a few min we knew we had him far enough from the wreck that we just might have a shot at this big fish on this light tackle.

J.J. was fishing 2 live baits at the same time so while they were busy down stairs fighting this fish J.J. handed me up the other rod and I just kept this live bait on the surface and far enough away so it would not get tangled in the line with the big fish on it.

After a good 20 Erik finally reeled in his big barracuda and the fish was in the boat.

Way to go Erik!

After some high fiving and some hand shaking we were working our way back toward the wreck when all of a sudden the water exploded behind the boat and our high line took off. We were Hooked Up again.

This time John got the rod and the fight was on. This time we really had no idea what we had on I just figured it had to be another big barracuda but after a good 15 min of back and forth tug a war we finally got a good look at this smoker king fish. J.J. got within inches of gaffing him twice but at the very last second the fish made a last ditch effort and RATS got away. Well that’s why they call it fishing and not catching.

John nice job not to worry we must give the fish some credit he’s trying to get away and this one just got lucky.

Thanks again guys for a fun day of fishing.

July 16 thru the 28^th

Ok so today was the big day for the Hooked Up and the Local Knowledge both of our boats were invited to fish in Bimini in the Bahamas to entertain customers/friends of East Penn Manufacturing Co Inc.

Our trip would consist of three different segments and each would have prizes for first second and third place.

I’ve got to take a second to say first of all thanks so much to Brain and Ken Sharky for inviting us. They had told us not to bring anything with us as far as bait and food was concerned but we have heard this in the past so needless to say we loaded the boats up with both food and extra bait. (BIG MISTAKE)

Talk about first class run operation there was more food and bait and ice and fuel than I’ve ever seen in any other fishing trip before. Now I understand why all the boats and customers/friends look forward to this every year. And as far as the other boats we had a total of 8 and a nicer bunch of Captains and Mates I’ve never seen. Incidentally if you do find yourself in Miami looking for a fishing boat let me point out a few you should consider fishing on. The Patience with Captain Ken and his mate Mike or the Wild Life with Captain Pete both out of Key Biscayne in South Miami or a little north of Biscayne by South Beach world famous Perr 5 you got the Thomas Flyer run by the two brothers Jimbo and Rick or the Sea Hawk run by a father and son team every one of these guys and boats were first class.

This was the first year that we were invited to this event and every one of the Captains and Mates made us feel like part of the family.

As far as the guys running the show; Ken, Brain, Freddy and Josh words cannot explain what a great bunch of guys. As a matter a fact I had some trouble with one of our AC units and they just went ahead and had a plane fly one in for us. I think that pretty much sums up what kind of guys we were dealing with.

And as far as the customers I mean FRIENDS they were just so glad to be there and away from the everyday rat race and into this beautiful blue water and island atmosphere that at times I would forget that we were supposed to be working and not having as good of a time as our guests. I think I gained 20 pounds because every time one of the guests would make a sandwich or get a soda or bag of chips they would throw one up on the bridge for me.

Our first day fishing started out with Jesus, Helbdio, Edvbrdo, Jorge and Javier all from Mexico.

We started out our day running right off shore looking for a Blue Marlin or some Dolphin Fish but within the first 10 min of fishing I could not believe what I saw a big Mako Shark jumping about 10 feet out of the water. Of course as always no one seen this but me. But this all happen within 25 feet from the bow of the boat. So I headed right for this big hole in the water and there he was about a 300 pound Mako shark for everyone to see. While we never got him to bite we all got a good look at him and what a great way to start out.

After trolling off shore without a bite for a few hours we decided to head in to the reefs and troll with our planner boards out and running about 45 feet down. Now the action started we were catching barracuda after barracuda and for every 5 barracudas we caught we would catch a big cero mackerel. Soon enough we had had enough of trolling so we threw the anchor and started chumming the waters. At first all we caught were trigger fish but soon enough up came the yellow tail snappers and everyone was having a ball catching fish one after another.

Ok now we had caught plenty of fish but none of them were big enough to weigh in for a trophy.

The following day we pretty much repeated what we had done the day before only this time at the end of the day we decided to try dropping one of the barracuda filets down on the ledge. Let me take a moment to explain what the edge is. This is the Bimini wall where the water goes from about 150 feet to the bottom to about 500 feet and this all happens within about 50 feet so holding the bottom was no easy task.

But once I figured out the wind and the current and how the boat was drifting we finally held bottom and all of a sudden BAM the rod bent over and we were HOOKED UP.

I can’t recall who got in the chair first but it was a big back and forth tug a war fort a good 15 min till finally up popped this monster amberjack.

Ok so now we had a fish to weigh in so we figured what the heck let’s try this again. Once again the second we got to the bottom BAM HOOKED UP again.

We repeated this 7 or 8 times only keeping the bigger fish.

We did end up killing four big amberjack and weighted in 2 to win first and second place on the first leg of the trip.

To all of our guests from Mexico on behalf of the Hooked Up and East Penn thanks so very much for a great fun filled days of fishing.

On the second segment of the trip we had all the guys from Canada. We had Jim, Mike, John, Shawn, Louie and of course Jim from Denver Colorado.

We pretty much did what we had done on the first part of our fishing trip with some off shore trolling and sorry to say not getting any bites out there but once again the reef trolling turned out to be the ticket for none stop action.

Once again we anchored up for some snapper fishing only this time we were having a problem with the sharks eating our snappers before we could get them to the boat. Sharks well what the heck if they were here and we were here let’s try some shark fishing on light tackle and man did that turn out to be a BIG HIT. They loved fight these 5 to 6 foot reef sharks on light tackle.

While we did not win any trophies our guests had a ball and Captain Mike on our other boat the Local knowledge we taking care of the trophy’s for our fleet.

Mike was dropping on the ledge trying to get a big amber jack for a trophy for the Local Knowledge when they were in for a BIG surprise when up popped this 58 pound black grouper.

No one in the fleet knew what they had caught on the Local knowledge but after everyone weighed in their fish Mike’s mate Richard pulled out this monster. (You dirty rat mike) (LOL)

Ok going into the last day of the second part of the trip Mike on the Local knowledge was holding on to first place. BUT 30 min into fishing Jimbo on the Thomas Flyer called in a blue marlin hook up.

30 min later Mike’s first place was doomed with Thomas Flyer catching and releasing a 300 to 350 pound blue marlin. (Way to go guys) But Mike was able to hold on to second and third place with a 58 pound grouper and a 38 pound amber Jack.

The beginning of our 3^rd leg was put on hold by tropical depression Bonnie. Lucky for us the storm was moving fast and before we knew it was past us and we were able to finish fishing the 3^rd leg.

I’m sorry to say that I lost my paper work with the names of the people but all the same I know that we had more guys from Mexico and Jim from Denver was out with us again. This time since the winds had calmed down we were able to fish north of Bimini for the first time and J.J. suggested we anchor up and fish the bottom.

So we threw out the anchor and started chumming the waters. At first all we were catching were trigger fish so we named this spot Captain J.J., s famous trigger hole but soon enough the yellow tails started biting so we changed the name to Captain J.J., s famous yellow tail hole. Than the groupers started biting and yep you guessed it we changed the name again. All in all it turned out to be our best bottom fishing day of all nice going J.J.

What a great time was had by everyone once again on behalf of the Hooked Up and local Knowledge thanks so very very much and we are counting the days till next year to fish with East Penn and all their friends.

On the last day of the fishing with East Penn and friends I had my own charter the one and only Pete Pillone and his friend and partner Steve both from Georgia fly in to spend a couple days fishing in the islands.

I had had a few drinks with the whole gang from east Penn and Pete and Steve and I was feeling a bit under the weather to say the least. So having said that we headed right off shore set out our blue Marlin
Lures and headed south for an island called Ocean Kay while I made sure the couch stayed in the boat in front of the AC for a couple hours. (LOL)

We did manage to get a bite off shore but it turned out to be a reef shark. This was the first time I had ever caught a reef shark trolling off shore but it was enough to get me up and off the couch.

Once we got about 18 miles south of Bimini to Ocean Kay we tried a few deep drops in 625 feet of water catching a few yellow eye snappers and a 25 pound black fin tuna on the bottom. This was another first for me. I’ve never caught a tuna on the bottom but heck we’ll take it.

At this point it was getting a bit late in the afternoon so we decided to anchor up in about 15 feet of water spark up the grill and throw some filet mignon on for dinner. J.J. decided to go for a swim and well let’s just say that we ended up having some surf and turf. It just does not get any better than this. Beautiful water calm seas white sands cold AC and great friends and even better dinner. Sounds like a dream come true.

Its times like this that reminds me just how lucky I am to do what I do for a living.

After dinner and a few hundred beers we pulled anchor and headed out to about 85 feet of water and threw the anchor for the night.

We started chumming the waters and before we knew it the yellow tails showed up. We all picked at the snappers way into the night and then we all slept like baby’s being rocked to sleep with the gentle waves.

As we all got up the fish were still swimming all over the back of the boat and J.J. went right back to it. I jumped in the rain locker (shower) and came out feeling like a new man. I told Pete about how good the shower felt and he was next soon to be followed by Steve.

Ok so we were all cleaned up and J.J. wanted to keep catching snappers. That was fine with us but we had enough and soon after J.J. shower up and we started our 66 mile ride home.

One the way home we did troll our big baits and managed to catch a 23 pound dolphin.

Thanks one last time to all the guys that help put this whole thing together.

On another note I have gotten a few e mails from some of our readers about such a long time between fishing reports to them I say sorry about that we were busy having fun and catching fish.

I am back now and will do my best to stay on top of all the reports.

Today we had our old customers/friends Kelly and Rock on Dawn from St Louis and this time they brought along their nieces and nephew Jessica, Heather and Kristin for a couple of days deep sea fishing aboard the hooked Up.

We started out trolling the reef catching king fish and bonitos.

Than we ventured off shore looking for some better eating fish. After quite some time of trolling without a bite we finally found a big tree branch floating and this was just what we were hoping for. On our first pass we boated a nice dolphin fish but never did see any more. So we set out a planner board with a 3 and a half drone spoon at the end of the leader Heather caught a nice Wahoo.

Nice going guys I lost count of how many kingfish and bonitos we caught but I can say that everyone caught a lot of fish not to mention a bunch of laughs and a great time.

Kelly and Dawn thanks again for a great time and we are looking forward to fishing with you guys again next year.

This morning we started out fishing with Steve, Chris, Greg, Mike and Peter all from South Florida.

Once again we went right to trolling on the reef with our 2 lines running deep on planner boards and 3 baits skipping across the surface and one again it paid off for us. Catching kings and bonitos along the way.

This same afternoon we had Mark from Michigan and his friend Tyler from Jupiter Florida.

And once again the reef paid off for us catching kings and bonitos.

Today we started out with Brendan from South Florida, Bill from Phoenix Arizona, And Randy and Dave from Alabama.

We started out trolling the reef with lines running deep on planner boards and three skipping across the surface.

It took Captain Greg over 30 min just to get all the baits in the water. The bonitos were biting like mad dogs and we were catching them one after another.

We ended up catching 3 kings one being a 15 pounder caught by Dave and about 1,000,000,000 bonitos.

WHAT A GREAT DAY OF FISHING TODAY ABOARD THE HOOKED UP OFF THE COAST OF FT LAUDERDALE FLORIDA

Today we went fishing in celebration of 9 year old Ryan, birthday. He brought along his mom Judy and his dad Eric he also brought along his good friends John and Britt and Britt’s 13 year old son Peter. They were all from Westin in South Florida.

Thing started out pretty much like they have all week with us trolling the reef with our planners running deep and our three rigger baits skipping across the surface.

Today the reef was so full of life that not only were we catching bonitos on our planners one after another but they were all over our surface baits as well. I think we caught about 1,000,000,000 of them and one king fish.

About an hour and a half into the trolling I noticed a dorsal fin slowly heading to the south on the surface. Captain Greg quickly cut open one of our bonitos and hooked 3 big hooks in it and threw it overboard. I was watching witch direction the shark was heading and I got the boat in front of him with Greg all the time slowly letting the bait back further and further till it was just feet in front of the slowly approaching shark.

Than all of a sudden we could see that the shark had caught the scent of the bait and headed for our bait like a freight train. Than the water exploded and line was peeling off the reel. I went ahead with the boat to help sink the hooks into him and we were HOOKED UP.

It seemed only fitting for little Ryan to get in the chair and the fight was on. Now I’ve got to take a second to say that Ryan can’t weigh more than 80 pounds soak and wet and this shark was every bit of 250 pounds but all the same Ryan had no intentions of giving up and with a little help from Captain Greg he had his shark to the boat with the leader in Greg’s hands in about 25 min.

Ok it was official it was a catch BUT once Greg grabbed the leader and the shark felt this different pull on the other end it took off again.

We had already caught this monster hammer head shark but we wanted to try to get the hooks out of him so Ryan’s dad (AH) (LOL) I mean Eric got in the chair to help get him close enough to try to get the hooks out of him. This took another 15 min and then just as we got him to the side of the boat we got a few more pictures and than just like magic the hooks came out all by themselves.

We could not have written this any better if we had tried.

Way to go Ryan and you did pretty good yourself Eric.

Ok back to trolling once again catching bonitos one after another when all of a sudden what do I see but another hammer head shark tailing down sea.

Once again Greg sets out a dead bonito and once again once the shark gets the scent he comes in like a freight train but this time I guess his head hit the line or something and fads away.

Ok back to trolling then about 30 min later yet another hammer head tailing. This time we get the hooks into him.

With the rod bent in half and line screaming off the reel Peter jumps in the chair and the fight is on.

Once again a big back and forth tug a war for a good 25 min till Peter gets his shark close enough for Greg to grab the leader. But this fish is not done but as it turns out Greg was. So as the fish darts off Greg just takes a wrap on the leader and does not let go.

Well something has to give and when it did it sounded like a shot gun going off when the line finally broke.

Holly cow what an exciting day of fishing but wait we still have one more trip to go today.

As we pulled back to the dock we had Mike and Bill from Dallas Texas waiting to give their luck a shot.

Once again back to the reef we go but this time the bonitos were not biting but the king fish were just biting the bottom out of the boat.

We ended up with our limit of kings in no time along with a couple bonitos.

Thanks again to all of our anglers today and Ryan HAPPY B DAY

Today we had Keith and his son Cody his nephews Kale and Dustin his brother-in-law Dennis and his son Heath all from Mississippi out for some deep sea fishing aboard the Hooked Up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Florida.

We knew that good eating fish was what everyone wanted so we started out trolling the reef hoping to catch some king fish. But all trolling produced for us were bonitos and three small barracudas.

Ok time for plain B so J.J. brought in all the trooping gear and put together what we call a chicken rig which consists of 5 hooks in a line with a weight at the bottom of the rig. Captain Greg brought the boat over a rock pile that was in about 180 feet of water.

Down went the rig and as soon as the rig hit bottom the snappers started biting. Ok so now we finally found some great eating fish and they were biting well. It seemed every time the rig hit bottom we would have more and more on.

Before we knew it we had our limit of snappers and now we had some good eating fish on the boat.

Now it was time to go for a sea monster. J.J. put a live bait on a leader with 3 trouble hooks on it and out went the live bait over a ship wreck. After a couple of min of slowly trolling this live bait around BAM the water exploded and we were Hooked Up.

Cody jumped in the chair and the fight was on. After a good 10 min fight up popped this 45 inch barracuda.

Way to go Cody!

Well if it worked once let’s try it again. This time we put the live bait on a down rigger to get the bait down closer to the wreck. It took a few min before our next bite but when it got hit it was well worth the wait. Line was peeling off the reel and Captain Greg had to go ahead with the boat to get the fish away from the wreck.

This time Heath jumped in the chair and the fight was on. It was a good 10 min till we got a good look at this monster barracuda Heath had been fighting. A few min later the barracuda got within J.J. gaffing range and BAM he was in the boat.

 Way to go heath a nice 47 inch barracuda!

I’ve got to say that the weather was rainy all day but somehow we ended up having a great day of catching.

Thanks again guys for a fun day of fishing.
