Part II - Marco Fishing

Marco sunrise. It's worth getting up for.

See those little building specs in the distance? That's Marco Island. We were offshore fishing about 10 miles. It was unbelievably calm this day....which I was grateful for. If only I would have known it was going to be this calm before I took my Dramamine.

Typical Florida weather with pop up showers. Enough scenery, on to the fishing.

A shark got this poor snapper before Stephen could reel him up.

Look how hard Stephen and Chris are working. Too bad they bought were fighting the bottom of the ocean. But don't tell them I told you.

Chris was something BIG hooked. Of course, it got away. The big one always gets away.



My 16" grouper. They have to be 20" to keep, so he got to go home....today.


And for the catch of the day....we have....

See that little 16" grouper floating by....now, see that huge shadow a few feet under the water?

That would be a hammerhead shark. 6-8 feet we guess.

This is the closest we got him to the boat before Stephen cut the line.

It was a good day fishing. We took home about 30 snapper and 1 big grouper.
