The Wait was Worth the Trip

Our thanks to Jay Koehnelin  and his  group (John, Dean, Pat, Scott and Brian) for choosing Adventure Watersport Charters in Key West for their 3 day overnight deep sea fishing expedition  to the Marquesas Keys and the Dry Tortugas National Park.  Although their original fishing trip had to be rescheduled due to high winds, it was well worth everyone’s wait for the catch they hauled in.
John started the trip off on the troll out with a Skip Jack Tuna to get the competition going, and was followed by Jay and the gang hitting several Red and Black Groupers, along with many good sized Mutton and Mangrove Snappers with an average size of 10-12 pounds.  The group didn’t stop there as the fishing heated up with their haul in of Cero Mackerels and Strawberry Groupers.  Dean got the rarest catch of the trip when he reeled in a Hogfish weighing in at about 6 or so pounds.  Scott and Brain were certainly not left out with Scott bring in a few of the Strawberry and Black Groupers, along with winning the prettiest fish prize with his catch and release of a gorgeous blue parrot fish.  Meanwhile Brain, was brining in several Red Groupers, and busily earning his title and claim to fame on the trip as the “Grunt Master”, with hit after hit of many small Grunts.  The excitement of the trip came on the troll back in when Pat hooked into a 4’ Wahoo, weighing about 30 pounds, which gave him the esteem honor of being the largest fish winner for the trip, while Jay hooked into a couple hundred pound Marlin that worked and fought him hard, jumping and rolling into the air trying to break free, (quite the awesome view to watch), however fortunately for the fish, but unfortunately for Jay, the fish ended up spitting the entire lure out and swam back into the safety of the deep waters.








The trip was a wonderful success and the entire group had a fun filled, exciting yet relaxing slap talking time and very much enjoyed the cooking of our “chef” on board, Captain Budd, who cooked up some awesome meals for everyone.   Thanks again to all for waiting and rescheduling your overnight fishing expedition to the Marquesas Keys and the Dry Tortugas with Adventure Watersport Charters in Key West ….we’d love to have all you guys back again anytime in the future!
