This trio from the Minneapolis area has been fishing the Florida Keys for more years than they care to count. During this trip, they included a day of Gulf fishing with Capt. Chris Johnson and SeaSquared Charters out of the 7 Mile Marina. Upon leaving the dock, Dan announced the charter would be a success if he returned with sore arms.
During the day, they anchored up on a couple of wrecks and set to fishing. In all they caught their limit of mangrove snapper, some yellowtail and mutton snapper, a keeper gag grouper and a few Spanish mackerel. They also caught and released a bunch of Goliath grouper and sharks. And, as part of SeaSquared's ongoing participation in the Gulf Coast Research Lab's Sport Fish Program, they tagged and released three cobia.
Back at the dock, Dan reminisced about the workout he got as a lad of 10 catching tarpon from the old Seven Mile Bridge. And, he delcared he had the sore arms to prove this day's outing was indeed a success!
