A nice mixed bag today in the gulf looking for cobia. Found our target at the second spot but he wasn’t the keeper we were looking for so he got to swim on another day. The kids did a great job reeling in snapper and grouper today, and definitely got excited when the cobia hit the deck.
When the Captain goes on vacation, he has to squeeze in a little fishing when at all possible. The low country makes for challenging sight fishing, especially in overcast sky's and early morning fog.
In the keys, we can look into the water and see our fish. This day on the flats it was watching the water move and casting to wakes. Captain Scott has a very very keen eye and an incredible skill set when it comes to fishing these flats. If you ever travel to Jekyll Island, Georgia, look him up.
Good morning, headed out for some first light back country fishing!
Here is a recap of our trip with the Franks, we had a great time. The weather was a lemon, but we made lemonade with it. Shallow and calmer water than the reef, but we caught fish in comfort.
The wind has been keeping us inshore, but we are making the best of it. Plenty of mangrove snapper for Craig and Son(s) team Jeff/Geoff, and where there are fish to be caught, the sharks have not been far behind. We had counted 6 different sharks in a 10-minute window. Went 4 for 6 on sharks to the boat, had an early mutton snapper, and a juvenile goliath as well. Another great day on the water.

Fishing inshore can still bring some big fish. Limited with this wild wind, but we still found plenty of things that wanted to play tug of war.

Hope everyone got to enjoy the mini mini season for the Florida residents. Who got out and caught some? Would you like to see this become an annual holiday? Let us know in the comments.

I got a call today from a great friend of mine, she wanted me to drop by and pick up a gift she had made me. I was not expecting an almost to scale size replica of our tournament winning mahi, hand painted, and crafted from a palm tree fronds and husks. The amount of talent in our little keys community will forever amaze me.

Tough day of fishing has always been better than a great day at work!
