November 8-9, 2015 The past few days the Lady Pamela II has had some exciting kite fishing offshore Fort Lauderdale. We have been catching big mahi-mahi and sailfish off live goggleyes hanging below the kites. The mahi-mahi have run up to 25 lbs. and they have been in close to shore, in anywhere from 120 to 150 of water. We have been averaging two sailfish on every trip too. We really never know what species is going to crush the baits! On a couple of trips this week we moved out into deeper water and got a great hammerhead shark and a dusky shark. The drift fishing trips has been a little slow but our anglers are still bringing in some yellowtail snapper, triggerfish, and mutton snapper. Flat lines fished on the surface have also produced a few king mackerel. Big tarpon have moved into the Port Everglades Inlet area and we have had a couple tarpon trips this past week producing nice bites but no tags and releases. We are typically getting 2-3 tarpon bites on the evening trips, with some big jack crevalles periodically crashing the baits, providing a little extra excitement! Tight Lines, Capt.

April 12, 2015 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week I was aboard the Lady Pamela II with my buddy Chip and his friend Emilio for daytime swordfishing. We were out about 10 hours a day and had a few sword bites on Wednesday and Thursday but sword hookups. We did land a couple of sailfish though. I guess you could say that was pretty good by catch! Friday was the hot day with five good swordfish bites and we caught one nearly 200 pounds. This was one hell of a trip with a good group of guys. Tight Lines, Capt.

April 1, 2015 This week has been a mixed bag with fishing, mainly associated with weather changes. On Sunday we went kite fishing for sailfish right after a cold front came through, and the billfishing was awesome. We went 12 for 19 on the sailfish bite and boy it was busy in the cockpit. We had rods bending, reels screaming, fish jumping, and our anglers hootin’ and hollerin’! The day after the front went by the billfishing completely dropped off, but the Lady Pamela II found a few dolphin, along with some kingfish and blackfin tunas. The last couple days of fishing has been all about the game sharks. Hammerheads and silky sharks are really starting to come through the Ft. Lauderdale area as they migrate from the north to the south. Tight Lines, Capt. David Ide Lady Pamela 2 Sport Fishing

February 11, 2015 Today was Wednesday, or hump day, so we humped the Lady Pamela II well offshore of Fort Lauderdale for some mahi-mahi fishing. We located a big sargassum weedline in 800 feet of water and began to troll. There were plenty of mahi around but we could not get them to bite. We did have success with the wahoo though, boating four really nice fish. One of the other Lady Pamela II boats did well also, boating a big amberjack and a bunch of vermilion snappers.
