Fishing on the Keys: A bad days fishing is better than a good day going to work.

Yesterday was a bit of a disaster on the fishing front. We decided to fish a mark on the Atlantic side of the Keys. We are staying on the gulf side of the keys and the sea was fairly calm and were not expecting it to be so much worse on the other side. We travelled probably half a mile out with the boat getting airborne a couple of times, the rest of the time it was slamming against the waves making for a very uncomfortable ride. So, we abandoned that idea and went to fish on the Gulf Coast. It wasn't that rough but anchoring proved very difficult. Either we were somewhat lacking in our skills of anchoring or, the anchor and chain just were not up to the job, something heavier would have made sense. Eventually frustration got the better of us and we gave up fishing for the day.

Tim and I went off for an hour around bamboo keys for some photography .

Today was a similar story except we did not head for the atlantic side of the Keys. After numerous attempts at anchoring we settled and caught a few fish, we took a couple home and had them for our tea. As I type, Tim and Chris are on the dock fishing for shark, me, well I've had enough for the day and I'm just chilling'.
