We had a good day fishing, about 50 grouper and 8
keepers, biggest was 29" shown below. I was catching a
lot of heat about not getting a keeper from all on
board, especially my son, but late in the fourth quarter
the old "tight end" hauled in this one on a hail Mary
pass with 5 minutes left in the day. Earlier, I lost one
even bigger when the line broke in a 80 lb. leader and
again the crowd gave me the old fumble rooskie cheer.

Here is living proof (actually
dead) that I am a true MSC fisherman and not
just a social member of the Marco Sport Drinking
Club. Well, maybe I should have worn a
different shirt. These salmon were caught on
the Baldwin River in Michigan this fall.

Here is actual photographic evidence that I really do
fish. Here I am trolling for Spanish Mackerel
I have selected a silver and red King Spoon, on a
Seaweed Bloodline Leader, tipped with an Oscar Mayer
wiener. Check the leader board to see how I did.

These
are photos of our Grouper trip on Sunday May 29th.
Bert Hoell’s Pursuit, with Ed Vesely, Ray
Rosenberg and Helio Duran (Bert’s Friend &
Neighbor), left at 0715 and returned at 1700 in
the rain. Caught lots of grouper and pesky
sharks and had 3 Grouper keepers. Also attached
is the recipe Linda prepared for the grouper
that evening, complete with photos. It was yummy
in the tummy. The dinner was accompanied by a
salad of tender field greens with roasted fresh
figs, toasted walnuts, crumbled Queso Fresco and
a white balsamic raspberry vinaigrette. Broccoli
was the veggie.

Marco Sportfishing
Club members traveled to Summerland Key to help
control the Atlantic Dolphin population this
last weekend.
Kevin Wright
and Bill Stephens of the Marco Sportfishing Club
and Brad Boersma a co-member of the Naples club
were the crew for Capt. Brad's expedition.
The adventure
started at Islamorada Wide World Sportsman. A
dinner wait of one hour and forty five minutes
was
declined and we ran
on down the road to a restaurant on the water
for dinner. We arrived at the "House" about 9:30
P.M.

Well, it's in the books! The first actual kayak
trip took place and was attended by a hardy
group of six fisher men and women. No one
dumped their boat, rolled over, got lost or run
over by a powerboat. Everyone caught fish and
earned a new respect for sitting on the water.
Trout, Snapper, Flounder, Sail Cats, Jacks, and
way to many Ladyfish filled the boats all day.
For the first timers it was a real experience to
paddle over 4 miles, fish, ride the tides, play
fish and stay out of the mangroves and having to
do most all at the same time. The good news is
when you ground a kayak you don't need to call
Sea Tow!
At the end of the day some were heard to say
this was the first time all day they knew what I
was doing for sure as seen in the photo.Special
thanks to Jay for filling in and getting all the
boats headed in the right direction for the day!
