Look out for flying fish on high seas!

Our many thanks to Capt John and his party, Kathy, Bob, Sam, Gary and Doug chose to take their charter boat fishing trip in Key West with Adventure Watersport Charters for the first time and got a bit more than they bargained for!
Though the seas were rough the first day or so, the troll out provided to be at least worthy of a nice size Barracuda and Bonita.  After anchoring up in the Marquesas Keys for the night some Porgies and Yellowtail Snapper were reeled in as well as several Red and Warsaw Groupers….yeah…grouper season is finally open!  J  Gary hauled in the biggest Grouper of the trip with a 12# red, while Kathy bagged some nice size Grouper and Mutton Snapper as well as a flag Yellowtail after being taught by the Captain how to flat line fish the first time.  Sam brought in his share as well, however with his intense concentration, all of the fish should have been magnetized right off the bottom and jumping into the boat, and that’s exactly what one fish did.  Our Captain in training, Jack was hit in the back of the head with a flying fish that jumped onboard to take a free ride, although Jack could have sworn at first that Doug had given him a head slap.  Laughs were had by all when everyone realized what really happened and the flying fish was returned to his home most likely shocked as well, but unharmed.  The fishing continued with Bob taking the prize for the biggest catch with a 48” Wahoo along with a 26” Dolphin Fish and John came in second with his nice 30” Cero Mackerel.  Doug was on the mark as well with a fairly good sized Dolphin fish on the troll back to port.









Though Kathy brought enough food to feed an entire army with them and fed all the boys well, the fish dinners they had fresh from the seas beat all!  A good time and catch was had by all despite the weather and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly.    Thanks to everyone for choosing Adventure Watersport Charters for your Key West charter boat fishing adventure, and we can’t wait to have you back again next year, with calmer seas ordered up for you in advance already!
