#summer2021 Fishing in Islamorada

Day 8.

We left home one week ago today.  

This morning was an early one.  We have scheduled to go fishing on the Kay K IV with Captain Don.  The water was rough with a wind and he offered to let us out of our reservation, but this was our only chance. Six of us went: Sadie, Stephanie, Mom, Dad, Brandon and myself.

It was fine until we reached the last channel marker, but it got rough soon after.  Steph, Sadie, Brandon and I rode topside until we were told to go below.  


Sadie caught the first Mahi, but got seasick soon after.  Steph caught two before the seasickness got her.  At the farthest out we we're at 12.8 miles from Islamorada.  


In the end, we had 18 keepers. We would highly recommend this charter. You can find them HERE.

The captain and mate cleaned the fish into filets.  Guess what we planned for supper.

While it rained on us on the sea, it stormed back on land.  When we got back home we bagged the fish for freezing in a FoodSaver.  Then a nap.

Mom and I went to Publix for a few items and a Marathon shirt.  Then back home.  Although it was later than usual, we fixed some of the Mahi with lemon, salt and pepper, wild rice and a bit of mango.  So good! No picture - we were too busy eating!

And then the nightly ritual.

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
