Trip Summary

Big yellowtail on the reef line! We had a great day out on the reef off of Ramrod Key for a Valentines Day treat, Plenty of larger than average fish with a mixed bag on bottom fish such as Porgy. We set up a strong chum line and it wasn't long before the fish started to appear, the winds we virtually non existent which made for very comfortable conditions and the current was just enough to carry our baits into the zone. We were using cut pieces of shrimp free lined back the snappers and the were very cooperative. We also had a fly over from a military helicopter courtesy of Boca Chica Naval Air Station Key West which came directly over the boat, pretty cool! There were also huge pods of grey dolphins roaming the reef which made for some great viewing as usual.
