Two Weeks in the Keys

[jumper]

Sorry to take so long to get this posted, but I have been trying to catch up since getting back to Colorado. We went to Key Colony Beach from 8/4 - 8/16 and had a great time. We fished offshore three days for Dolphin and did some bottom fishing. Did a little diving and ofcourse chased the lobsters around.

I will expand on individual stories later, but here are some pictures to get people thinking.


Our first Triple Tail ever!

First day of Lobster Season!

Second Day Offshore!

Now that is a bucket!

Just a Cool Photo

Even managed a small tarpon off the dock!

Final tally for the two weeks:

150 Lobster
50 Dolphin
5 Red Grouper
1 Black Grouper
Alot of Mangrove and Yellowtail Snapper

More to come later. BTW I may have downsized the pictures too much, they are loosing some detail. I will post a large picture of a fish we caught while night fishing that I need help in getting an ID.

It is also a long way to pull a 270 Coastal. Took a little over 12 hours.

Thanks for the report and the pictures. Sure makes me remember the good ole days when my sons were still in school and living at home. We use to go down to Marathon every summer. Thanks again.
