Dolphin Slam Keys June 2, 2009

Well, the day started out slow. Bone thinks it was the old superstition about having a bannana on the boat! Weather was gorgeous, seas outside the reef were 2-3ft. Got our first hit about 9am in 350 ft. Leslie reeled it a lifter dolphin. Unfortunately, when she was holding it for a picture it slid right out of her hands and back into the deep blue sea. Well, I guess that made the fish gods happy!! Few minutes later, hit a big school of phins. Got a total of 12. High speed trolled on the way back in and got a nice black fin tuna. Yummy! Sushi for dinner and it was great!

Snorkeling Sombrero Reef June 1, 2009

Had an easy day. Decided to take the kids snorkeling at Sombrero Reef. This is definately one of the most beautiful reefs I have seen. Also, went diving at Thunderstruck, an old sukken ship.

Keys May 31, 2009

Headed out Vaca Cut around 8:30am. Had 3 kids with us including a 4 year old. Wasn't sure how it would go and if we would have to head home early or not. Got out to about 300 feet and started putting poles out. What a fiasco! Was having problems with an outrigger and while trying to fix it, lost the whole setup. OUCH! Luckily carried a spare. After about 45 minutes, finally had a nice spread going. After about 2 or 3 phins in the boat, came upon another school. Kept one in the water and tried to catch the others. This was hysterical! Dereck and Tristan kept tangling the lines all while the fish were all over the place. After watching this for about 30 minutes, Bone finally came down from the tuna tower and saved the day. Got 2 more hooked and in the boat. Decided to call it a day and got back to the dock by 1pm with 8 phins and a Wahoo.
