Waiters Day


Once a year we show our appreciation to waiters and waitresses and although neither me or my crew are one of these people, there is a waiter who works part time on one of the boats at our marina and this post is dedicated to him. Ryan Bouchard from Massachustts joined us on the L&H along with two of his fishing partners. It was a beautiful day and we decided to run offshore to the gulf stream. Once we arrived in the cobalt blue waters of the stream we were greeted with feeding birds and feeding mahi. For a couple of hours Ryan and his buddies had nonstop action with dolphin and it seemed as if as soon as we finished one school we would find another. After we had our limit of dolphin and a nice tuna we decided to try some wreck fishing. The action on the wrecks was great and we soon had our limit of amberjacks. With a little bit of time left in the trip we decided to anchor and catch some yellow tail snapper. Like everything else we did that day this seemed to work well for us. In about thirty minutes our crew caught nearly two dozen yellowtails and a few big barracuds. The three tired tired fishermen relaxed on the flybridge as the L&H glided over the crystal clear waters off Key Biscayne on the way to the dock. It was truly a great day.
