Shark Magnet

Thanks for a great time with the “old time traveling fishing friends crew” (Steve, Bill, Mike Gene, Gerry, and Howard), who hauled their catch in with Adventure Watersport Charters in Key West for their overnight liveaboard fishing charter.

Things started a bit slow with the rock’in and roll’in of the ocean for the first day or so, but eventually calmer water and winds prevailed when the Grunts and Porgies starting being hauled in; however that was not what these fishing friends were looking for, so most were released and thrown back.  Gene seemed to be the shark magnet on this trip as he pulled in several nurse sharks in the 250-300# range….too bad that they didn’t count in the first place category for largest catch. (Must be that constant hummmmmm of the generator that they are so well tuned into).   That trophy (in a baseball cap form) went to Mike the tournament fisherman when he reeled in a whopping 24# Black Grouper.  Meanwhile Gerry, Steve Bill and Howard found themselves smack dap in the middle of a big school of teenage Dolphin fish slamming them hard one after the other and even a Bull Dolphin fish was brought aboard.  The usual array of Yellowtail, Red and Mutton Snappers were hooked as well.  Even the Red Grouper could not evade these fishermen with the largest being in the 12# range.

Though the fish box was not entirely full, as that was not all this party was after, these traveling fishermen and friends all had a wonderful time reuniting together  and fishing with Captain Budd, and Captain in training, Jack aboard the Emily Anne with Adventure Watersport Charters in Key West; the fishing capital of the world!  Hope to see you back again soon ….until then may calmer seas and winds prevail in your fishing adventures.
