Last Monday, we were offshore fishing on our friend, Mike's boat (on the right). There are the guys in the tower. Wait.... one is missing......
Oh there he is. Pretending to be Captain from below. Good thing the guys upstairs have a wheel up there. They were avoiding the submarine that crossed our path while trolling. Helen, Mike's wife, is in the background.
Here's a close up of my Sprite model. Oh wait, he didn't get the can right in his hand. Logo out, son!! Still.... I love this picture and made it my desktop background.
We ended up leaving the area to go bottom fishing. While we didn't catch big keepers, we all had fun pulling in small reef fish. Here is Mike's daughter pulling in a Chocolate Chip Porgy.
Yes, I said Chocolate Chips. Aren't they cute? They can get pretty big too. And tasty. But not chocolatey.
Here's my little guy taking his turn fishing the ledge on Pelican Flats.
It's a lot of effort for him still.
He pulls in a fish or two and then he's done. This is a black sea bass jumping wildly on the end of the line.
More tomorrow!! Then, we go fishing again on Monday. I think. Jack had customers but I think they bailed on him. We're going to make some quick work in the early morning to fill the cooler and then come back home for an afternoon in the pool. The mahi mahi are in very close right now. Big one! A guy caught a 60 lb phin on 8A reef (14 mi or so) this week.
Happy Fishing!
