We started our morning by meeting with Capt. Mark / Phil at Marks house. We loaded our cooler into boat, and hopped into his truck. The drive to the boat landing was just long enough to build the excitement. Once in the water we made our way to the reef. Capt. Mark got to work getting our rods ready to go and turned on the trolling motor to keep us in place. We dropped our lines in not know what we would bite. As it turned out, it was a lot of 6inch fish called grunts, affectationately named for the sound they make. They were fun to catch but it was clear we needed to move to another area. Once moved we were about 10 miles off shore. We were catching sand perch, grunts, and my son reeled in a triggerfish. Mark caught a 3 foot shark he grabbed that sucker with an iron grip and pulled the hook and sent it back to the water. Phil reeled in a couple red snappers and a half grunt (chomped by a shark) It was awesome!! We moved on from there and the fishing only got better. At the last spot I reeled in two red snappers, a grouper, and some grunts. My son got a second triggerfish and a shark was on his line and pulling hard for 10 seconds then cut the line. It was amazing. Phil got a couple more red snappers and capt. Mark got two more sharks!!!! When we returned from our trip Mark filleted the fish we kept. So all in all it was an fantastic day of fishing that my son and I will remember forever. It's all thanks to Capt. Mark
