Sport Fishing in the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market Area
Living in Fort Lauderdale Real Estate area has it’s perks. While you are looking for your Fort Lauderdale Real Estate home or condo, take some time out to enjoy what Fort Lauderdale has to offer.
The Greater Ft. Lauderdale area is known for its water sports, thanks to its beaches, waterways, lakes and fabulous weather year round. Deepsea fishing is extremely popular, because the Gulf Stream proximity to the coast is conveniently close to our shores.
Freshwater fishing, or inshore fishing is accessible along the waterways and in the nearby Everglades. Fort Lauderdale is known world-wide for high-stakes tournaments and is the home of the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame.
There is always something new happening here, such as..”Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!”.
Women have come from all points in the U.S. to participate in a “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!” seminar in Fort Lauderdale’s 11th Annual event. The saltwater fishing and conservation skills they learned were put to use on Mar. 28-30, at the Ramada Inn Airport and Marina Bay docks, and were held in conjunction with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, presented by Mercury Outboards.
There were almost 50 women at this event, also known as the “No-Yelling School of Fishing”(very relaxed mode of teaching), including married women, single moms, business owners, attorneys, doctors, marine industry professionals, retirees, homemakers, teachers and more.
Lynn Keller, Naples, FL brought her mother so they could escape family pressures and enjoy a weekend in the outdoors together. “Fishing was the common denominator in the room,” commented seminar Director, Betty Bauman, recipient of national awards for the program’s success.
After the reception on Friday evening, Saturday’s learning sessions were conducted on beginner and intermediate/advanced levels by local speakers: Capt. Tony DiGiulian/bluewater fishing, Capt. Wayne Conn/bottom fishing, Chuck Baldwin/inshore fishing, Twig Tolle / fly fishing and Capt. Lee Lavery/fishing basics.
The seminars utilized several “hands-on” fishing exercises on Saturday afternoon, such as spin casting, net casting, knot tying, gaffing grapefruits, conservation, boat handling, backing a truck and trailer and reeling against pressure.
After the half day fishing trip on Sunday, the event concluded with a fish fillet demonstration at the Radisson Bahia Mar dock. A highllight of the trip, described as an ‘adrenaline rush’, was a 60 lb. golden amberjack caught by a team of ladies aboard Lady Pamela.
“The whole experience was so great that we will be back again!” said Brenda Franklin, Rock Hill, SC. On the majority of the boats, practically every participant had a chance to fight a fish.
