Went down to Marathon for a week and went snorkeling off sombrero beach and sombrero key reef. Saw a lot of little snapper and a little nurse shark off the beach. The videos are the links below. I hope y’all like them. https://youtu.be/5Gr0w7OkmQs https://youtu.be/ktj0cLYY0IU
Also fished the atlantic side in 100’ for dolphin on a nice weedline but had no luck. A few days later we went 5 mi out in the florida bay. We threw anchor in 8’ of water and immediately started pulling up mangrove, yellowtail, and mutton snapper on the bottom rigs. We probably caught 60 snapper but only a few of them were keepers. Put out a bobber and had a 3 or 4 foot tarpon before he threw the hook. Also caught a little pompano on it. The fish weren’t that big but at least the fishing was never slow. Also caught a decent mutton considering everything else was under slot. Its bigger than the picture looks
