Two Very small Tuna caught in Key West fishing on charter boat Southbound from Charter Boat Row

Caught two very small tuna. Normally we would have let them go, but we
kept them to use them for bait on the wreck,  but ran out of time before we got the chance

 

Sailboat found adrift while in Key West fishing on charter boat Southbound from Charter Boat Row

 

We did find this sailboat adrift about 17 miles SE of Key West. It had been de-masted and there were no signs of life. I called it in to the Coast Guard and gave them the location. The east current was very strong so I had my doubts if they or any one else would be able to find it. I put it on Face book on the way in. By the time I got out of the shower, I had the phone # of the owner. The boat had broken loose during TS Isaac and  he had a friend headed out to try to recover it. Unfortunately I was not the first one to find it. Some had broken in and stolen what they could. I got a text from the owner the next day. The boat had been recovered near Tavernier. Probably 80 – 90 miles away.

And the Yellow Tails were biting!

 

Big Barracuda caught in Key West fishing on charter boat Southbound from Charter Boat Row

We had a little “trouble” with Barracudas and Sharks

We caught and released this one, but I’m betting that
big fat belly is full of Yellow Tails he stole
