Florida, here I come...

[SkunkBoat]

Got away from the snow storm and did some fishing in Florida.
Friday - complete washout
Saturday howling west wind gusting to 35kts so we did a 1/2 day charter out of Ft Lauderdale on a bigger boat. Got it cheap cause someone owed someone a favor...anyway, the 18 yr old mate lost a sailfish and tried to tell a bunch of 50 yr olds how to fish
got a couple tasty Cero mackeral for the effort

Sunday morning - 40 degrees and NW gusting to 20kts (Striper weather!) 8-10ft swells with a 3 ft chop on top, 25 ft centerconsole, battery problems at the ramp (1 of 3 smoking), got that resolved quick. We got soaked and toughed out 3 schoolie dolphin out in 600 feet.
Went in and dried off, ate lunch and went back out - less wind but no fish

Monday morning - AWESOME! Dozen schoolie dolphin in the box and numerous lost fish by 930am just outside Hillsboro inlet.
In by 10 am, Grilled Mahi Sammiches by noon, then to the airport....
