Yes Tortuga trip!! 3 nights 4 days, but the 4th day was most traveling to home port.

[parishht]

Looks like you had a great trip,
wish I could go.

[phatdaddy]

I worked at the dry tortugas for a contractor who was remodeling the ranger quarters in the fort. we camped outside the fort for about 3 months. its a great fishing destination. great pics & report.

Thanks for the pictures, MJ. They brighten up a cold dreary midwest U.S. day.

Awesome man. makes me want to go on vacation

[Pipe_Dream]

Great report, great fish, great pics!

I wanna go back...to the island
where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'
Give me oysters and beer
for dinner every day of the year
and I'll feel fine, I'll feel fine...

My trips to the Keys (the first one being about 25 years ago) inspired me to move to the coast. I didn't quite make it to the Keys, but I did get to salt water. :-)

Super report MJ. Now you know why us Southerners go for the bottom fish all the time. Just wait til you eat some of that Grouper, sautee'd in real butter with a little lemonpepper. MMMMM MMMMMM!!!!

[THEFERMANATOR]

I eat my grouper fried only in corn meal. NICE GROUPER! I've never managed to haul one up that big.
