This is one of the reasons

I like to leave early. Usually, I’m one of the first boats off the dock. I like being out there ahead of most of the fleet. I think it gives us a head start or an advantage sometimes. Another reason I like to leave early, Usually just before sunrise this time of year, is because I get to see sights like this sunrise.

 

Fishing was much more comfortable today

The seas were pretty calm because the wind had dropped off just enough. Fishing was a bit tougher. We were starting to catch some nice yellowtail snappers when the “Tax Man” showed up. For those that don’t know, the “Tax Man”  is a shark. When they show up, you don’t get to keep all the fish you hook. It’s sort of like your paycheck, the “Tax Man” gets a share. Today, he was greedy and he took most of the big ones.

Big Barracuda caught and released on reef fishing trip with Southbound

We did catch and release

this big Barracuda on 20lb spinning tackle. They don’t have any food value, but they are fun to catch and this one put on a show by jumping a lot.
