Got ready then got fishing

The boat was ready to put in the water, a clean boat and fishing gear all set. I predicted it right. I said after all that had happened the weather would turn for the worse. Now all the days we were cleaning and preparing Happy Feet II the weather was gorgeous for fishing. So yes you guessed it we had 3 days of wind and small craft warnings...... Oh well!
We finally got out on the water and had some great fishing days. We invited our friends, Toby and Chris. We caught dinner and then some.You have to know that fishing inthe keys is very interesting- all types of fish are available Yellow tail, mangrove snapper, hog fish, grouper,yellow jacks, porgies and many many more. There is always a catch 22. All these fish are there, but but each species has a size and quantity limits. Sometimes you end up with less than half amount actually caught. this is called throw backs and keepers.
