first black is a 37 pounder

Had a great trip in the Tortugas this weekend. My 15-year old son shot his first black and it turns out to be a 37 pounder. Made his old dad proud!

Re: Looking for a Miami or Keys Fishing Charter

If you are looking for a custom trip for pelagics in the keys, give capt. Jim McKoy a call. I have been on his boat about 20 times - he is all about customer service and catching fish.

Re: Ft Myers Question...

Go to the keys.
The water here is cold, green and unfriendly.
I live here and do all my fishing in Marathon.
The Pink Shell in Estero wont be able to compete with the digs in the keys.

Re: NEW MASK for CHristmas

ditto what drpepp says. I like a single pane mask (better midline vis). Only other thing I would add is to buy one with a black skirt (less glare than a clear skirt). Think of the way the visor on...

DIR? TDI? PADI? IANTD?

Re: My first Lionfish in the gulf

I stopped killing them. What's the point? They are like roaches. Here to stay. We wont even make a dent in their distribution and abundance. It's a done deal.
