Florida Keys, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Florida Bay off the Florida Keys
Ten year old Justin Garza loves fishing with his stepdad Eddie Thomas at home in Montgomery TX. While on their first vacation to the Florida Keys, they shared a fishing adventure with Capt. Chris Johnson of SeaSquared Charters out of 7 Mile Marina. Eddie requested an offshore trip but, due to bumpy conditions on the Atlantic, Capt. Chris opted for fishing the calm waters of Florida Bay. They went to a wreck 16 miles out and found lots of action. They caught their limit of mangrove snapper, a couple of yellowtails and a bonus dog snapper. Just for the sport of it, they caught and released goliath grouper along with a bunch of sharp nose sharks. Justin was pleased to outfish Eddie to provide tasty snapper filets the family enjoyed at Castaway Restaurant in Marathon. Back at the dock, he proclaimed it was much more fun than bass fishing in Texas!
