Fishing Reports
| 13 Oct 2009 |
Exclusive Report for the Longo ClanBob's brother, John, was getting married at Hawk's Cay Resort, so the Longo clan from MA turned the event into a family gathering that even included some fishing. Bob and his sons, Rob and Michael, spent a day fishing a couple of wrecks 20 miles out in the Gulf with Capt. Chris Johnson and SeaSquared Charters out of 7 Mile Marina. Accustomed to catching stripers and fluke up north, the guys were impressed with the variety of fish they encountered in the Keys. In the snapper family, they got yellowtail, a nice keeper mutton and plenty of mangrove in the 2-3lb class. They also caught cero mackerel, a small cobia, sharks, gag and goliath grouper. When a bunch of 8-10lb jack crevalle popped up around the boat chasing bait, the guys threw a pinfish and a popper at them and caught them. They even hooked and lost a tarpon, estimated to be a monster 100-plus pounder. Here are the men back at the dock with part of their catch. They chose to keep only enough fish for a lunch sampling prior to the wedding festivities the next day. If you have fished with us and post your comments under the REVIEWS tab of our Facebook page, we will send you some awesome SeaSquared swag!
