[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]After leaving the dock at Bahia Mar and purchasing a dozenGoggle Eyes from T&T Bait, fifteen minutes later lines were in the water atthe sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale FL located in 120 ft. of water, less than 2miles from shore. A quarter mile furtherout puts you in 500 ft. of water. Myplan was to do some kite fishing later on in the trip, so I started off withsome trolling. We put two plainer rodsdown, one with a double hook Bonito strip with a pink and blue sea witch infront and the other with a blue and white sea witch. For surface baits we had two Ballyhoos andtwo Bonitos strips. [/font][/size]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]As I headed towards one of 34 artificial wrecks here in Fort Lauderdale, FL,our first strike came on the plainer rod which produced a nice sizeBonito. Once I arrived at the artificialwreck in 265 ft. of water off of Fort Lauderdale, birds were working the area - a good sign of bait fish around and not toofar off the predators. As we keptcircling the wreck catching Bonitos and Tunas, a black shadow appeared on theleft long rigger; dorsal and bill out ofthe water as he chased the trolling bait. Once hooked up, the Sailfish exited the water showing his magnificentneon colors and his powerful strength as he tail-walked away from theboat. Mike K was the angler, and as he did battlewith the Sailfish, Jackson, our mate, and the other anglers reeled in the restof the lines. Twenty-five minutes later,the Sailfish was in the boat for picture taking, measuring 87”, and wasreleased.[/size][/font]
