That looks fun. Bet they’ll remember it.

Lots of snapper over in Destin. We used to go for them and Amber Jacks.Hot and hotter! Luckily managed to catch the two fish on my list. Not season for sails or tuna and guide wanted no part of me trying to hook the 1k lbs bull shark that kept sniping our yellowtail. I was eyeing his bigger rods but closest was rigged for the chance encounter of a Marlin or sailfish.
Had a king bite me off. Had a random wahoo hit an outrigger ballyhoo feather we dragged behind us in wake but missed hook by 1” and bit off 3/4 of the ballyhoo.
Mango Snapper?
Mangrove yepMango Snapper?
All but the 105 heat index million percent humidity part. Mom is shocked it’s off-season. I’m not, no one in their right mind visits S FL in late July.Sounds like your having a great time.

Been dreaming about it since reading island in the stream as a kid. Well, I read until the war section maybe 4 times but should finish it. Gram got me a black and white book at a yard sale for fishing records and I got obsessed with Marlin and Mahi. I didn’t realize Marlin off OBX in Sept is where it’s at or Costa Rica. Hemingway wrote about the keys and cuba so I assumed this was the place to be.That is really cool. nostalgia of the best kind.
