Ft. Lauderdale and the Bahamas 11-12-09

November 12th, 2009

Compared to yesterday, today was a bust! It was overcast and the wind turned back out of the west. The water was clean, but it didn’t have the deep beautiful blue to it. We started out trolling up to the north with limited success. We caught one giant bomber bonito and a nice king mackerel. The fishing was slow for everyone.

After trolling for a while, the boys popped up the kites, with live goggles eyes and waited… and waited… and waited. There was a trickling current to the north, but today was like fishing in desert. There just wasn’t any life around. We saw one small center console boat hooked up to what looked like a sailfish or a nice dolphin. But today, we didn’t have our shot. It was wonderful afternoon, and the camaraderie was great, but the fishing could always be better. Today was one of those days where you would say “that’s why they call it fishing!” Thank you guys for coming out and better luck next time!
