We had a good, windy day for fishing. We met Captain Tom at 7 a.m. and headed out to fish after stopping to get some live bait. His son Thomas also joined us and was great help. It was a slow day of kite fishing with only 4 bites and no hook-ups for the first 6 hours. Finally, things went crazy and we boated two sailfish and lost another one. It turned out to be a good day and Captain Tom did his best to get us on to fish. The overall experience was only marked
good because when we returned to our car, there was a ticket on the windshield for parking. Captain Tom didn’t mention that the lot he instructed us to park in was a pay lot, which the City of Pompano Beach did a very poor job of signing that it was a pay lot and did a great job of hiding the pay station in the trees, especially at 6:45 in the morning. The $35 parking ticket spoiled what was a great day of fishing.
