Fishing the reefs off Palm Beach County offer anglers of all skill levels the opportunity to hook into large game fish such as Sailfish, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and Tuna but what is seldom seen are the beautiful and unusual reef fish. There are over 250 species of fish inhabiting the reefs along Florida’s coast. Some are too small to catch on hook and line such as Gobies and Blennies but others do manage to come up to astonish anglers fishing bottom rigs aboard the Lady K. All reef fish are safely and carefully dehooked, vented and released back to the reef – they are the true jewels of the reef.
This beautiful Spanish Hog-fish is a member of the Wrasse family. They feed on small shrimp, marine worms, crustaceans and other small invertebrates. During this time of year, anglers fishing with cut squid on bottom rigs or small jigs in search of Yellow-tail Snapper or Porgies may, in fact, hook one of these stunning reef fish.
The color pattern of the Trumpet fish makes this long, slender predator a master at camouflage. They commonly hang vertical in the water alongside sea fans, sponges and coral where they ambush small fish and shrimp. Trumpet fish are a very rare catch aboard the Lady K for they have very small mouths and prefer live food over cut bait.
Another unusual reef fish is the Blue-spotted Coronet. These fish sport neon, electric blue spots and stripes along with a banded pattern which helps them to blend in with the reef as they glide horizontally just above the reef. These reef predators can be caught by anglers fishing with sardines as well as squid and can reach a length of three and a half feet long.
Bottom fishing not only offers anglers the chance at bringing home good table fare, but also the opportunity to catch and release many different, colorful reef fish making this type of fishing perfect for children or out-of-state visitors just wanting to have a fun day on the water. Remember to bring a camera so you may capture the photos of these jewels of the reef, sure to make memories of a lifetime with family and friends. Your adventure awaits you aboard the Lady K.
Winter fishing in Southern Palm Beach county has begun, bringing with it bright sunny skies and warm temperatures for anglers aboard the Lady K. Morning and afternoon catches have hosted such fish as King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, Snapper, False Albacore, Gray Triggerfish and many different species of reef fish. Anglers fishing bottom rigs and cut squid have enjoyed plenty of action and is the perfect combination for young children.
This family enjoyed the benefits of landing a nice Gag (Gray) Grouper, good ole’ fashion quality time, both on the water and at the dinner table.

Another beautiful Grouper catch from a recent morning trip. Grouper season closes as of January 1st so don’t miss out on an opportunity to catch one of these wonderful tasting and hard fighting game-fish. Anglers catching these unique reef dwellers have been using dead sardines fished on or near the bottom. If you’re a first time angler, please ask your captain or mate to show you how to spool the bottom for a chance at hooking one of these battling brutes.

This 41 pound King Mackerel ate a large sardine for VIP angler Lee while the Lady K was drifting over the shallow section of the reef during a recent trip week. It is apparent that the rough conditions with brought plenty of Mahi Mahi also stirred up and moved around some large fish. Most of the King Mackerel caught this time of year are generally 5 to 8 pounds yet large fish like this trophy can be found in the mix.
These anglers had a wonderful time fighting Mahi Mahi and King Mackerel during one of the Lady K’s morning trips. Despite choppy conditions, the crew worked very hard to keep everyone on the fish and helped to hook up fish for those who had a hard time catching fish. That is great customer service and one of the reasons BarJack Fishing and the Lady K is considered the premier drift fishing vessel for so many anglers. Get hooked on a great time today while fishing aboard the Lady K.
Nice Mutton Snappers like these found their way into the Lady K’s fish box during the week of Thanksgiving. Anglers spooling the bottom also found Yellow-tail Snapper and Gray Triggerfish while a few Mahi Mahi found free-lined baits more appealing.
Gag Grouper, also known as Gray Grouper, are still finding their way aboard the Lady K. Many of this brutes really tax an angler’s skill as they make hard runs back to a hole or ledge after inhaling a sardine fished on or near the bottom. Sharks have also taken a few of the delicious fish as anglers fight their fish to the surface.
Grouper can grow to over 60 pounds although the average fish will weigh between 12 to 18 pounds. Anglers fishing for Grouper have also been catching Cobia, Banded Rudderfish and Gray Triggerfish up to 8 pounds.
VIP angler Mia caught this beautiful 15 pound Mahi Mahi cow while drifting a sardine close to the boat while a school of smaller fish in the 6 to 8 pound range were being brought up by other anglers.

V.I.P. angler Andrew bagged this nice 20 pound Gag Grouper while fishing during an afternoon trip aboard the Lady K.

Yellow-tail Snapper to two pounds, large Gray Triggerfish to 6 pounds, King Mackerel to 6 pounds, Rainbow Runners to 10 pounds and some assorted reef fish made their way into the cooler. There were also three Cobia caught and released. A possible sign of things to come?
These three lucky anglers chose to fish aboard the Lady K Monday morning after the heavy weekend blow and caught these nice Red Grouper while fishing sardines on the bottom. Other anglers also brought in some nice Yellow-tail and Mutton Snapper along with an assortment of other bottom fish.
The afternoon trip gave VIP anglers Danny (l) and JR (r) a golden opportunity to land these nice Gag (Gray) Grouper. The fish both ate dead sardines spooled along the bottom. A few more nice grouper managed to elude anglers by rocking them up in the reef. The Lady K also caught some more nice Mutton and Yellow-tail Snapper along with a few jumbo sized Gray Triggerfish.

A rare look at a juvenile Tiger Shark as it swam around the boat during one of the Lady K’s morning trips. The shark stayed around the boat for 15 minutes so the crew decided to give the beautiful creature a handout a put a bonito to good use.
This Tiger Shark measured between five to six feet and may have weighed between 75 to 90 pounds. Tiger sharks can grow to lengths of between 12 to 20 feet long with weights of 850 to over 1,400 pounds. They are the garbage cans of the sea, eating everything from sea turtles, sea snakes, sea birds and smaller sharks to metal cans and license plates.
Tiger Sharks are responsible for a large percentage of fatal attacks on humans, although rare, and are regarded as one of the most dangerous sharks. Tiger Sharks are also one of most colorful sharks with their brownish-gray backs and white sides which are patterned with black dots and stripes just like a tiger. This feature also makes them a favorite for replica fish mounts since the species is threatened do to “finning”, where commercial fishermen cut off the fins to sell to the Asian markets for shark fin soup.
Along with rare sights such as these, anglers have been catching a few King Mackerel up to 20 pounds and the afternoon trips have seen several Sailfish releases this past week. A few Mahi Mahi have been showing up along the rail also during the afternoon trips with fish to 15 pounds. Bottom action is producing some Vermillion Snapper, Porgies, Gray Triggerfish and Jacks. So come on out, relax and enjoy a day on the water aboard the Lady K.
With a very light crowd in the morning, the crew and other anglers fishing aboard the Lady K made sure the kids had a great time reeling in some big fish along with plenty of Rainbow Runners and Bonito. The morning was quite beautiful with a cooler than normal north breeze, flat seas and plenty of sunshine. Everyone enjoyed another day aboard the Lady K and would like to give a special thanks to Dick for helping out with kids!
A nice pair of 30 plus pound Amberjack will tax your tackle and give your muscles a good work out. Mark landed these heavyweights during an afternoon trip aboard the Lady K and while fishing sardines near the bottom.
Rob nabbed this big Amberjack also while fishing a sardine near the bottom over a local area reef and finally broke in his new fishing rod on a large fish. Great work by all the anglers who worked hard to land these fish!
A great tasting Red Grouper came aboard the Lady K during a recent morning trip by VIP angler Danny, who went home with some wonderful eating fish for lunch.
