One of Barjack Fishing’s VIP anglers, Brad, had one of his fish his was reeling in bit in half by this 25 pound Great Barracuda. Brad dropped the head of his fish back into the water with the triple hook rig still in its mouth and the “cuda” returned to finish the job. The fish was landed on Brad’s custom rod using 25 pound test. Please remember to let our experienced crews bring all of your fish aboard the Lady K to ensure the safety of everyone from sharp teeth and venomous reef fish.

This 11 pound Mutton snapper took this angler by surprise while fishing aboard the Lady K during a rainy afternoon trip. The fish ate a triple hooked sardine fished on the bottom using one of the supplied boat rods.
The Lady K’s newest crew member, Rich, displays a seven pound Mutton snapper he caught on a 12 pound test spinning outfit during the same trip. Mutton snapper have a 16″ size limit and many of the fish caught aboard the Lady K will average three to four pounds with the larger fish mixed in during this time of year.
Anglers await their fish being off-loaded from the Lady K. Good catches of King mackerel, Yellow-tail snapper, Mutton snapper, Bonito and Jacks continue during the late summer months.

…….. and after a few boatside photos, the fish swims off to fight another day. In addition to the fishing, many anglers have had the opportunity to watch spotted porpoise, bottlenose dolphin and sea turtles while drifting along the south Palm Beach county coastlines. Plan your trip today for an inexpensive offshore excursion aboard the Lady K.
Snapper continue to feed along the reefs in southern Palm Beach county, the home range of the Lady K. Yellow-tail snapper from one to four pounds continue to hit both sardines and squid tipped jigs for many anglers fishing both the morning and afternoon trips during the late summer months. Large Mutton snapper like the 10 pound fish pictured above are a great catch sure to bring smiles and friends together for a summer-time fish fry.
Anglers using light spinning tackle are also catching rare fish such as the African Pompano (pictured above), Kingfish, Yellow-tail snapper, a variety of Jack species and Bonito for some hard, rod-bending action. The morning trips have been very hot so be sure to bring plenty of cool drinks and sunblock when planning your next offshore adventure with Barjack Fishing.
Please note that every year Barjack Fishing and the Lady K crews donate their time and services for the West Palm Beach Fishing Foundation and the annual Kid’s Fishing Day. The program helps underprivileged children experience and learn about fishing.

Anglers look on as a battle with a Bull shark ensues aboard the Lady K………………..
After a ten minute fight this seven-foot Bull shark, weighing approximately 300 pounds, surfaces alongside the Lady K for all to see and take photos of…………………
With its eye rolled back, the shark shows everyone it’s business end which is the last sight many of our angler’s fish have seen this summer. On the ride back to the dock, the Lady K was escorted by a pod of fifty spotted porpoises, giving everyone onboard a fantastic show.
Patti strains to hold up a 30 pound Cobia brought aboard the Lady K during a recent afternoon trip this week. The afternoon breezes have been helping to keep anglers cool while fishing the shading side of the vessel and helps to cover more of the fishing grounds while drifting.
Big “flag-sized” Yellow-tail snapper like these are being caught during our afternoon trips. Most of the fish will average 3/4 of a pound but there have been plenty of three and four pound fish being caught on jigs tipped with squid or sardine halves fished on double hook rigs.
A big thumbs up accompanies an award-winning smile from one of the Lady K’s women anglers this week. The feisty King mackerel put up a great battle and had captain Bruce wary of the teeth as he held the fish up for a quick photo. This was the young lady’s first ever saltwater fish and proves any inexperienced angler can land a fish when assisted by our experienced crews.
This 40 plus pound Cobia was caught by one of the Lady K’s VIP anglers. Nelson brought the fish to the boat despite four attempts from a large Bull shark who tried to make a dinner of Nelson’s cobia. With plenty of Bull, Sandbar and Hammerhead sharks around, it’s imperative that anglers get their catch up to the boat as quickly and calmly as possible to prevent the sharks from “stealing” their catch.

Captain James looks on as a young angler displays a nice Mangrove snapper brought aboard the Lady K during a recent night trip. The fish ate a half sardine using a double hook rig that our mate Derek rigged up for the young angler. The fish weighed in at five pounds back at the dock.
The night bites have brought in a few King mackerel, nice Triggerfish, Lane snapper and a lot of grunts. Using bottom rigs and cut squid will keep anglers busy reeling in grunts, snapper and triggerfish while sardine rigs will be an anglers best bet for King mackerel.
Austin caught this great tasting Cobia as the Lady K drifted over a pod of Bull Sharks. It was the second cobia taken during the afternoon trip and will be joining some Yellow-tail snapper for dinner. Austin and his father made a day of it fishing both the morning and afternoon trips. Wonderful job fellas!
The Lady K has brought in a few stray Cobia this week. The fish are hanging around the Bull sharks and local wrecks where they will eat sardines drifting near the bottom.
Nice Mutton snapper continue to be caught along with Yellow-tail, Mangrove (Gray) and the occasional Schoolmaster snapper. Our experienced crews can teach you how to spool the bottom for these fish or rig your rod with a bottom rig and squid to include Triggerfish along with the snapper bite.
