Stayed on the reef today

Caught a lot of yellowtails, although many were small. But we got close to our limit of keepers and a nice Cero Mackerel too. Had a few “hellofa’s” on but pulled the hooks

First day out fishing since Hurricane Irma

Wrecked havoc on Key West and the Keys
We decided to go offshore and look for Dolphin.
Really didn’t see much debris, (surprisingly) and
the water color wasn’t great.
We caught 4 small ones but only one was a “keeper”

Fishing was tough, but it felt good to be back on the water.
It’s been almost a month since my last trip.
As I’ve mentioned, I know I was very lucky during Hurricane Irma. I have little of no damage. Sadly on the way out, as we went through the no-wake zone, it was evident that many, many people  were not so lucky. Most of the boats that were not tied to a sheltered dock, did not fare well as evidenced by these pictures

According to Marina personnel, 9 house boats sank during Irma.
Sadly, many of these are full time residences

The Sea Plane Basin is where the City Mooring field is located.

I don’t know if these boats were moored there or came from other places,

the the shore line was littered with boats
