Bragging rights is what it's all about at Capt. Pips Marina and Capt. Gator "slams" them again. You saw Ron & Rosey with last years dolphin a couple of articles back. Well, they brought Ron's good luck charm Suzanne and sure enough, they topped last years catch. Ron & Captain Gator are holding the 28 lb bull while Rosey shows off his nice gaffer. Suzanne shows one of her many catches of the day and 1st mate David is all smiles with this big triple-tail.
Amazing how the bite changes. The other day we were catching keeper schoolies in 65 feet of water while snapper fishing and today we had to go 33 miles to find a big fish (that's what they ordered). Stay tuned; we will be at it again Thursday and have to top what we did today. Gee this group is a lot of fun...
THE NEXT DAY:
I just got a phone call (noon) from Ron checking on the type of grouper he just caught on the spot 1st Mate David gave them on their guide trip Saturday (pays big dividends to use a guide). The Peanuts (tiny mahi mahi; dorado; dolphin; tiny schoolies) were more abundant than the yellow tail snapper while bottom fishing. Now you know why people come here year-after-year for vacation. These folks KNOW how to have fun...

A native Floridian (Panama City, Fl.) that grew up entertaining vacationers and is still loving every minute of it. Nothing is more fun than seeing you catch that fish of a lifetime, whether it be a tropy fish or a rare species. Got my captain's license in 1963 and still get "buck fever" when we catch a fish. Been fishing the keys full time for 6 years and vacationed here for 10 years prior to moving here. 3 children, 2 grand children and a wonderful wife of 30 years. Absolutely living the dream in Paradise.
