baby turtle finds out what a chum bag is for 1st time

The sea smiled back today, the waters were merky but at my spot it was still clear. This is because it is shallow for veiwing. Lots of fish swimming about at the reef its almost always good snorkeling. Fishing was fierce having a live bait eaten and a whole reel of line disapear in minutes, a shaked girl says Captain Chuck what do I do, as the rod whizzed away. I said hopfully we can turn him around, but no the 60 pound test broke. We should have chased him down, its increadable the power and speed of the big fish out in the Atantic Ocean off of Key West. Come aboard check it out.

goliathgrouper size of 500 fish sandwiches swims by

The Goliath grouper was fun to see. They are a huge fish, I know I could not get my arms around this one we was today. The fishing was great, caught lots of fish, it was fun to let the 7 month old boy see and touch the barracuda we caught. Another super calm day of extreme fun aboard the Delphine. The dolphins and turtles were out in force we watched them from the bridge of the yacht as we went back and forth to the reef. see huge grouper movie click below.

had a fish on stuck went in to get it unstuck to reel in

The water was calm and another beautifully day in paradise. I love how the groupers can change their appearance to match their environment, it is unique. Once at the Cayman, a wreck near my spot, I saw a grouper the size of a Volkswagen, he blended into the 200 foot wreck. Fishing was great lots of yellow tails and Bermuda chubs. Mom battled a nurse shark all by herself it was enough to wear out a family of six. She ran before I could get her face in picture. In the morning when we had a fish on the line we could not get it so I went in to chase it to the bottom. It was a green moray eel I have the video if anyone wants to see, feel free to comment. click on pictures to enlarge

turtle swims with us looking at us as we look back

The water was like an ice skating rink, calm enough to skate on. We through our snorkel equipment on at the reef and explored the outer edge coming across this beautiful Angel fish and a happy Young turtle that i video taped for a bit than left alone. Its good not to harass sea life to much although its like seeing a movie star you wanna get right in there face. Today the sea creatures all seemed gracious they were busy doing their thing. I try to be discrete. The fishing was awesome hooking up with a nice cuda that a husband and wife battled equally. Something cut the side of it good trying to eat it right before we landed it must have been bigger than him. Check out the video and pictures of todays advanture at sea.

couple lands monstor shark kingmackeral swim with us

The water around the big island was its usually good weather incredible out at sea, it was nice to see the dolphins swimming everyway. It seem that we see the dolphine when its calmer. The appearance of a King Mackerel swimming around the snorkeling is always neat. Later in the day we saw a couple of tarpons, the male was showing off, he swam circle's aournd us. I guess its mating season at the reef. We slammed tons of fish, hooked up with two nice battles a cuda and a big nurse shark later in the day. Today was another one of those days you tell your grandchildren about, it would take a book to describe so come aboard the Delphine with me.

ten in terms of everything tarponschool swim with us

The fishing was fun we could see down 24 feet to our bait, peering down on the unsuspecting hungry fish. It was fun to watch the huge fish swim by from the gunnel. What a pleasant treat it is to see the tarpon we all had cameras flicking, coasting around the reef swimming. Can you see a couple above the tarpons in the picture? Later climbing out at the yacht all relished in the fact that we were swimming with 250 pound fishes and how fun swimming can be in crystal clear bath water at my spot at the reef. A couple with good snorkel skills went through another one of my favorite cave holes in the reef. I could tell some story's you wouldn't believe here at Capt. Chucks donut.
