2013 Life Detox Entry 2

One fish, two fish, redfish, bluefish


Today we fished the flats with Captain Jeff Malone. We began the day catching Pompano, which is a beautiful fish that also made a beautiful dinner. We got two of them and quite enjoyed catching and eating them.

We caught some mangrove and mutton snapper as well as several bluefish, then moved along to a beautiful flat over in the Everglades National Park. We caught a bonnet-head shark, a speckled trout and a really beautiful redfish. In honor of our two pompanos and the the others (and with a shout out to Dr. Suess) we have the following picture and caption.

  After the flat we tried for some jacks and finally gave up as the long day in the sun was wearing us out.  Home for a shower and then out to dinner where we had some amazing sunset moments as well as a great meal.






Tomorrow we start early and will be heading out to the Humps in hopes of catching blackfin tuna and getting back again before the high winds kick in. The Humps are a really very interesting area - basically mountains in the sea swarming with tuna. http://www.theonlinefisherman.com/how-to-all/209-find-/681-the-humps-of-the-florida-keys
