We each took home more than 12 poinds of grouper filets - real good
eating and a great day on the water.

Captain Tom is highly recommended. The full day charter is the best
option because it gives him time to get well offshore where the best
fish are. The price is reasonable if split 6 ways.

With tips for captain and mate it was $230 each. We left the dock at
7:00AM and didn't get back until 4, traveling about 100 nautical miles
total. All fishing gear and bait was included, plus cleaning the
fish, not to mention a lot of experience on the captain's part. He
did a great job putting us over the fish.

Considering that an hour with my dentist costs over $200, this was a
pretty good deal and a lot more fun. :-)

Very nice Wayne. Was that a deep sea or near shore trip? I'm guessing, by the size of
the fish, that it was near shore.

Most people would regard it as deep sea fishing although we were not
off the continental shelf. We were out about 45 to 50 miles in about
100 ft of water. Off the continental shelf the water is thousands of
feet deep and you encounter so called ocean pelagic fish. In the Gulf
of Mexico you have to go out over 100 miles to be off the shelf. On
the east coast near Miami, less that 10 miles. There are places in
the Bahamas where the water drops off to thousands of feet deep less
than a mile from the inlet.

That's like circling around the island of Kauai. Your a couple hundred yards from shore and as you move you watch the depth finders go from 30-3000 feet in an instant.

Yes, it seems high, but considering costs, fuel, insurance, dock fees, maintenance, blah, blah... That's not really bad.

I think it's safe to say that we're all on Social Security except for
Jan.

That tends to happen when you fish in the middle of the week. :-)
