Headed offshore with 13 year old Tyler from Oklahoma and his dad. Snapper and Permit the main focus.
We headed to the Everglades barge and immeadiately got covered in boats. Ran north off of cape romano and found three Cobia, hooked one and broke off.
Finally found the mits 4 miles offshore on an old boat. They were spooky but on the surface. We were out of crabs. Tyler hooked one on a Gulp crab but missed the hookset, then Dad hooked one on shrimp and he broke off after the first run.
Finally after all seemed lost, tyler hooked one with a shrimp on the bottom. After a respectable fight he landed a nice 8 pounder, took a picture and sent him back home!
All in all a decent day.
