Spent the week in Marathon with some good folks. Got into a few small dolphin on Monday, hit the West hump looking for BFT’s but no luck. Scouted Tuesday, and hit the bugs hard Wednesday and Thursday. Also shot a 21" red grouper. Had our 5 man limits by 8:30am each day. It was nice to be working off of a good book as it looked like all of the draggers were sucking water down their straws in the 15-20kt winds. Actually had one boat drag over our spot (the boat angled in; so no danger to our diver), and the last guy on the rope looks up and asks how we’re doing/said they hadn’t seen anything right as he’s getting pulled over our diver’s bubbles. Got a good lol from that.
Went to dinner Wednesday night @ the Island Fish Co. and thought I saw former Gov. Sanford walk by the table. About 10 minutes later I got a tap on the shoulder and he was asking if I was from Charleston. Guess he noticed my AGAT tee shirt. Talked to him for a little bit, nice guy, he said they got a 5 man limit on Wednesday.
