Alright.. so me.. my girl and a friend of mine went out on the boat yesterday...
We rode around and eventually stopped not to far from the skyway.. bout 50-60 foot water... we already had bait so no need to catch some...
well first things first.. before we even start fishin.. the anchor drops and it gets tangled in the starboard motor blade... GREAT..
me and my friend gotta get in the water and untangle it..
after bout 10 minutes its free... and the first bait goes down...
we were using live shrimp, cut bait, squid and live pinfish...
First fish in the boat... a nice little jack...
next fish i get a real nice blue runner....
i look over and sure enough my girl cant escape the catfish she pulls a big ol cat outta the water... then 5 minutes later.. a littler one...
next the grouper bite starts.. my friend pulls in a nice little red grouper.. we all start gettin excited...
next up.. my turn.. i catch about 3.. all about 18inches or so.. within like 30 minutes.. they fight pretty good for undersizers!
my girl gets herself a few keywest grunts... and then also a few little 10 inch fish that looked like a snapper/grunt mix
i feel on my line a bite.. but then it feels like its gone... i start reeling in.. sure enough.. something on there.. just not something big...
i get it to the top.. its a RAMORA.. never seen one live before.. this one was about 18 inches id say.. looked crazy.. looked like someone STPPED ON ITS HEAd. it had like a shoe print head.. real weird....
we continued to fish for another hour.. pulled in a few more small red grouper and grunts....
then the weather started so we hauled ass back...
nice day all in all... we got to see a good amount of action for only fishin about 2 1/2 maybe 3 hours max..
i wanted to go out farther and to different spots but it wasnt my boat and my friend had other plans.. so maybe next time...
i need me a keeper...
i snapped a bunch of pics.. just waiting on the misses to upload them from her camera!
just thought id share the story with u guys...
