As guessed, the weather for the ‘A Fun Day Fishing’ was great! Nine Fish On! members started boarding about 6:30 AM, it was an early start to coffee and swapping stories. The crew was made up of Denis Surctte, Dave Taylor, Jerry Hanes, Jim Shanahan, Mike Spanhel, Larry Pitman, Frank Bellizio, Jim Ross and Terry Reelitz.

Weather and winds behaved; the tide was a little lazy for most of the day which slowed the bite down a bit. All in, the Grunts were abundant and feisty, the usual critters were present though the day on the boat. The occasional Lizard and Puffer fish made appearances. Hogfish bite was tough, think there were only 2 or 3 caught on the boat for the day. The stars of the day were a KingFish and Amberjack that caused a flurry of crew and customers getting out of the way as the fish came screaming by. Also several Groupers were caught with all being short though.

An awesome day, there was ample time for members to catch up, and just shoot the breeze. It was fun to walk off the boat with a bag a filets and not have to worry about cleaning the boat or cleaning fish – it was unanimous among the group – it was ‘A Fun Day Fishing’!
