Almaco jacks: big fish, big fighters
Most South Florida anglers are aware of the different species of
jacks inhabiting our waters: amberjack, yellowjack, bar jack and jack
cravelle. All put up a valiant battle but are so-so to eat unless smoked.
But many anglers don't know there's another species of jack that
fights harder and longer than the others. And that this particular jack
presents a better-than-even chance for anglers to catch a world record
fish right here in Miami-Dade County.

Kid's Stuff
9-year-old a determined and experienced
angler
Austin Rosen's fishing credentials read like those
of a sportsman who has been around: yellowfin tuna in barbados, bluefish
in New Jersey, sailfish in South Florida, snapper in the Bahamas. It's

These smaller fighters have earned some wee-deserved
respect.
Gina Larkin was out for revenge. Minutes

Captain knows keys to billfishing
For Capt. Dennis Forgione, catching sailfish is like riding a bicycle.
Even though he hasn't seen a sailfish in the past few weeks, he's not concerned.
He knows exactly what to do in the 57th semi-annual Fort Lauderdale Billfish Tournament,
which runs Friday through Sunday out of Bahia Mar Resort and Yachting Center.
Many of my clients have made tournament winning catches and I
am a very active member of "THE MET", the Rod & Reel Club, the IGFA and a founding member
of the South Florida Fishing Club. I am also a guest speaker at fishing
clubs in the community. |
