Trip Summary
Got out just for fun with my family to do a little bottom fishing on the Islamorada patch reefs. Fishing was good we caught a bunch of yellow jacks for the table... they are really great eating especially if you like sashimi. On the bigger rods there was a steady grouper bite too, unfortunately grouper season is closed now but they are still fun to catch and quite a battle to pull out of the rocks sometimes. As long as the weather is fairly decent getting out to the patch reefs is definitely possible on most trips and provides tons of variety and good table fare usually.
