    We spent 2 days down there and it is gorgeous. Weather was perfect and it could have only been better if the fishing was better. We fished Monday on the reef then Tuesday trolling for bigger fish. We sucked down a few suds and spent a lot of time relaxing.

    Monday we anchored on the bar just outside the reef and fished with mostly cut bait. We also dropped down some live yellow tail that we caught to try to rouse a shark but couldn't get one to bite. We had several cut off on live Ballyhoo that were probably big Cudas. We did see a few cruising around us and had 1 big shark chasing one of the yellow tail that I caught.
    The first day we caught Yellow Tail, Grunts, Mackerel, Strawberry Grouper, a Barracuda (46"), 1 Ling, a Slippery Dick, etc. They guys caught a lot of fish so it was a lot of fun.
    The second day we trolled weedlines in 180' -500' and caught Dorado, Bonito, Barracudas, Skipjack Dolphin. It was very slow from what they said but we had fun. The crew said the fish had probably been gorging with the massive amount of bait present and they didn't want to feed much.

    When we got back the first day there were hundreds of tarpon swimming around the docks.....Very Cool

          Those yellowtails are delicious. Pretty much all along the keys tarpon will gang up at the docks to get a free meal. The most famous one is "Robbies" in Islamorada. It's crazy how many 150# + tarpon are there everyday just swimming around waiting to be fed.

                We did take all the fish down to Conch Republic on Monday and them cooked up for us. It was a cool trip. Those Tarpon were everywhere along the docks and they won't let you fish for them there. Would have loved to do some tapon fishing or bonefish but the guys I was with were not very experienced and would not have enjoyed that as much.....Next time!
