Big Pine Key Christmas fishing
Took the family and the V to Big Pine Key over my wife and kids Christmas break. The weather was warm but the wind blew a lot. We caught at least 30 groupers over the week, Red and Black, all but one were short by an inch or 2.
    Its hard to let a 23 inch black grouper go, but we did...the one 24 inch keeper was delicious! The reds had to be 20 inches, they were all 18 to 19 inches. We caught some really nice spanish macks.  Caught about 20 of these Jack Crevalle. They pulled good and were biting in a no windy area on a very windy day. Kept a few for bait/chum and cooked one, not bad.  Also snagged some tropical fish around some bridges.      My wife and middle girl did boatride with us, but didn't fish any. Temps were in the high 70 to low 80s most of the week with a couple cooler days mixed in...I think I could stay a while.

Truly ENVIOUS of you. I'm only 6 hours away, but with the little one can't break away to go fishing. Hopefully in the future I can do the same with my boy.

It is a long tow, when you put it in the GPS it says that its 905 miles and 14 hours from my house...of course thats if you dont stop or have any slow traffic or have any mechanical glitches.
We always just plan on 2 full days of travel each way and we can usually make it in a day and a half. It would be a really long trip in a car or truck but in the RV its not bad at all. It is well worth it to spend a week in paradise.

I'm curious, what kind of Rv are you towing with and what kind of mileage are you getting when towing?
