May 24, 2010 - Key West

Our first day of fishing on this vacation, turned out to be our best.

We hooked up with Bill Wallace from Fish Key West Florida Charters on a 33 ft Sea Vee. This was a very nice, dry and comfortable center console with a head and twin 250 4 strokes. You can find their info here

The plan was to bottom fish and see what we could catch. Within minutes of dropping the first chum bag, we had fish all around the boat. It didn't take long for the Yellow tail snappers to show up and boy were they big!

As the snapper fishing heated up, we started dropping heavy rods down for mutton snappers and grouper. We got one big mutton to the boat, but lost a few larger fish...presumably grouper.

Then the sharks got thick and we lost 6-10 fish to them. So, we used a snapper head that a shark left us and dropped it down. Debbi has always wanted to catch a shark, so there was no question as to who got to reel it in :)
