Catch of the Week: Meat fish season has arrived off South Florida
I will be giving a free seminar on mahi fishing at Bass Pro Shops, 200 Gulf Stream Way, on Saturday in Dania Beach from 12 to 2:30 p.m. Over a two-day span we have caught quite a few species of fish locally aboard the Lisa B out of Lighthouse Point. This is a great sign as we kick off meat fish season.

Yes we do have slow days when the bite is just not very good but for the most part you have a chance at catching a trophy fish.
