Catrina dropped anchor under the 7 Mile Bridge but it would not hold on the rocks. We trolled out to the Sombrero Reef with a few nibbles but no bites. At the Sombrero Reef everyone got into gear. Some persons claimed their wet suits might have shrunk but with a little wiggling and squirming, we all managed to suit up.
This was the perfect day for seeing deep into the water. It was clear with a little current and lots of colorful fish. We even saw a group of 8 baracuda! Debbie found a fish that was not in the Florida fish book. It had a blue nose, all fins were back and the center portion was yellow! It also stayed on the bottom, swam solo and liked to hike under coral!
After a lunch of last night’s leftover dinner and a good nap, we tried more fishing. This time they liked us and were hungry.
Glen caught the first fish.
Glen caught the first fish.
Alice liked to sit on the stern and cast.
Then she caught a beauty. Just look at that big smile!
Lynn Ray on the other steps pulled in lots of fish. Here are some. If you haven’t guessed Lynn is the son of Carol and Glen.
But the biggest fish of all which wasn’t yet big enough to eat was caught by Glen.
Debbie threw together some of the food that Carol brought and we dined on Salad and Spagetti. It took two boat rides to get us all in to the Marina for Showers. Glen and Lynn went to the market for milk and came home with multiple bags!
When Tom and Debbie got back to the boat after watching news at the Marina, everyone was tucked safely in bed. It was only 9:30!
