Holy (Spanish) Mackerel...





Mother Nature finally cut us a break and provided us a great day for fishing and snorkeling. We motored (no wind) out about 5 miles outside the harbor to Sombrero reef. Dave was trolling a line along the way and about half way his rod starting buzzing indicating a fish on the line. We weren't sure what to expect as he reeled it in but were surprised to see a nice 23" spanish mackerel at the end. While he didn't show it, Dave was excited as this is the biggest fish he has caught so far - and good eating too. We should get two nice meals out of it.

Onto snorkeling. While still a little choppy we were able to snorkel along the reef. It was great. We saw lots of fish and even a couple of sea turtles. Finally!!!
