Default Pompano Beach fishing 1/25

Got away from the snow storm and did some fishing in Florida.
Friday - complete washout
Saturday howling west wind gusting to 35kts so we did a 1/2 day charter out of Ft Lauderdale on a bigger boat. Got it cheap cause someone owed someone a favor...anyway, the 18 yr old mate lost a sailfish and tried to tell a bunch of 50 yr olds how to fish
got a couple tasty Cero mackeral for the effort

Sunday morning - 40 degrees and NW gusting to 20kts (Striper weather!) 8-10ft swells with a 3 ft chop on top, 25 ft centerconsole, battery problems at the ramp (1 of 3 smoking), got that resolved quick. We got soaked and toughed out 3 schoolie dolphin out in 600 feet.
Went in and dried off, ate lunch and went back out - less wind but no fish

Monday morning - AWESOME! Dozen schoolie dolphin in the box and numerous lost fish by 930am just outside Hillsboro inlet.
In by 10 am, Grilled Mahi Sammiches by noon, then to the airport....

here is the video
