Florida report(pics,Tarpon noodling,coral reef)

Got lots of pics for you guys!:smiley:
Went down to the keys for a few days and they were a blast! Our first event was a fishing guide. We got on a bunch of snook, a few reds, and a few catfish…he hated the catfish, but I don’t mind catching catfish, and 2 huge mystery fish that broke off. He thinks they were sharks. We tried for a tarpon, but they weren’t there. We had a great time with the fishing, and if your ever down there book a trip with Captain Scott(Bad Habit Fishing charters). If we happen to go down again we will go with him again! There is also a place down there called Robbie’s Marina. If you go there, you can feed Tarpon! They aren’t trapped, they just stay there because they know they’ll get fed. Another must do is snorkeling. It’s worth every penny! You get to see a lot of neat things, along with many fish.
Here’s the many pics!

Looks like a lot of fun.

I did a night time SCUBA trip on the “statue of the abyss” about 15 years ago and the lobsters come out in huge groups at night. Very cool. Lots of fish to see. Definitely a must see, night or day, if in Key Largo area.

Karma is 360 degrees

I miss that place it is awesome watch out for all the jacks though they are fast to get your bait too. good art there in the lobster traps frames too. looks like i need to make a road trip.

Looks like a good time. I am on the gulf coast right now. Went scalloping but only found one. We’ll try again tomorrow. Nice snook, I would love to add one of those to my list of “have caughts”.

that fishin guide stole my name

cool pix, been a while since i’ve seen Christ of the Abyss. had a lot of fire coral on him about 15 years ago.

DF- scalloping!? very cool! they’re on my list of favorite seafood items that i can’t catch. lobsters too, so far.

Going out tomorrow with a local, should have much more success. I’ll eat a few in your honor.

the purple tangs are awesome.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

The Keys are an amazing area huh? You should come back down in a few weeks for mini lobster season! I’ve got a few spots scouted but I hear it’s almost not even worth going out because of all the tourists and drunk locals.

Yeah I think we had a baby Jack on but it wasn't hooked. Just high off the free food lol.
