[font "Arial"][size 2]Mid-November Fishing Report - Fort Lauderdale Fishing aboard Lady Pamela II
[font "Arial"][/font][font "Arial"]Captain Paul Palucci and I of the LP II headed out of Shallow Harbor in search of Daytime Swordfish looking to eat. On the way out, we crushed the mahi - mahi. The dolphin were ranging anywhere from 10 - 12 lbs. When we hit fertile grounds, we made our first drop and within 15 minutes the rod bent over. We had him on, he took a run, then pulled the hook! After our third drop of the day, the sun started to set. We rearranged for the nighttime bite and on the first drop we fought a 48 incher. Shortly after, we had a double header on. Nice size fish, a 48" and a 48.5" . Things were pretty much going as planned, we were getting bites and we weren't leaving! Paul and I put everything back out and another one ate. After a 30 minute battle, he pulled the hook. [/font][font "Arial"]Before we knew it, it was 2 AM and to the dock it was. [/font][/size][/font]

[font "Arial"][size 2]The next morning we didn't get to sleep in, we had a full day of fishing ahead of us, literally. Fishing started off slow, not even a kingfish around. We ran to a wreck, made a drop and got a bite! An amberjack ate instantly.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 2]November is taking off! With this 60 degree weather passing through Fort Lauderdale, the sailfish bite is on fire - the best I've ever seen. The bite has been consistent, anywhere from 4 - 8 sailfish per trip, leaving anglers extremely happy. On the 11th & 12th of November, I fished the Sailfish Cup out of Miami Beach. We caught a total of 20 fish in two days, coming in second place by 12 minutes. The Sailfish Cup had an impressive two days of fishing with a whopping 388 fish caught surpassing 2007 where the overall fish caught which was 208! That goes to show you fishing has been great.

[font "Arial"][size 2]The Blackfin tuna are offshore ranging anywhere from 10 - 15 lbs and the mahi - mahi weighing in around 20 lbs. Oddly enough, the mahi - mahi bite has been better this month than it was in August when it's generally prime time to catch those delicious dolphin. Hopefully they stick around a little longer.
