The Conti family from Jupiter FL stayed at Tranquility Bay Resort and enjoyed a half day of yellowtailing with Capt. Chris Johnson and SeaSquared Charters out of 7 Mile Marina. They fished in 65 feet of water. They were surprised by an 8-foot lemon shark that tried to eat Christine's yellowtail, but she yanked it away just as the shark bumped up against the side of the boat. She said she had never seen a shark that close except in an aquarium. They lost many fish to the reef but did manage 15 nice size keepers. They also caught and released a just-short cobia on a 12lb rod. Of course, 12 year old Taylor caught the most and the biggest fish! They feasted on their catch back at RumBums at the 7 Mile Marina.
