We spent a couple hours getting to deep water, and then a few hours trolling. Caught these 7 juveniles, all from 8-14 pounds, so nothing special, but I think the captain was askeered of going deeper where the big ones were. Unfortunately for us, our stay in KW was 3 days... so a limited chance of going out and the wife's birthday was the next day. Every day we were there was pretty much the same - not ideal for fishing. But we got it done.

Brad and I split the cost, but it was pricey, since we had the boat to ourselves. I will remember that experience for life. In fact, it was so damn cool I want to do it again soon!

I worked as a mate on charter boats out of the upper & middle Keys about 20 years ago. We used to pitch the sale as 6 guys splitting the cost is a lot more affordable, but it made my work as a mate that much harder. Glad it was only you two.

We fished in all kinds of weather. Flat calm to 10-15 foot swells. Hard work. Cutting bait at 6am, washing the boat at 6pm, 6 days a week.

But, the reef & stream were really close & The Humps weren't too far away.

Glad you had fun.

does that mean "oh yeah!"?

Wahoo is ono, mahi is dorado. 🌫

Me likem' both!

Oops, I meant "ono" as in good, not as a correction.

A bit confusing when the word can be both an adjective as well as a proper noun. 🤦

It's less confusing that way.
