Good Day of Cruising and Fishing
As some of you already know we are bringing the boat north for the
summer. That trip started on Thursday with a late departure from home and an early evening arrival at Marco Island. Friday we headed farther south to the Keys and anchored out for the night east of Marathon. Today we went east bound just outside the reef south of the Keys and passed through a nice school of Mahi Mahi along the way. We lost one but boated two others within minutes of each other. One is in the freezer and the second will be served up for dinner tonight. Just after landing the last Mahi, some sort of large pelagic fish started jumping in our wake about 100 yards back. It was a big powerful fish that we estimate at 7 to 8 feet in length, possibly a Blue Marlin or a large Sailfish. I immediately got a line back in the water but no luck. He was probably feeding on the same shool of Mahi hat we'd been catching. If anyone's interested I'll try to post a picture of the Mahi Mahi - nothing on the big guy unfortunately but it was fun watching him jump. We turned the corner today and are now beginning to head north up the east coast of Florida. Tonight we're in the south end of Biscayne Bay near Angelfish Creek and the Ocean Reef Club where Richard Nixon used to hang out with his buddy Bebe Rebozo. Tomorrow we'll be heading up towards Miami, spending the night docked at the Coral Reef Yacht Club. Current plans are to be in Chesapeake Bay by late May, and in the NYC/CT area by mid-June. |

It's great to hear you're headed out of Keys waters and taking your pollution production machine elsewhere. New York is a good place for you. Please consider a permanent base there. Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur Hubbard Typical Willie-boy. Doesn't know anything about cruising so falls back on stupidity in his eternal quest for notoriety. Cheers, Bruce |

If I see any small yellow sailboats with broken down owners I'll be sure to say hello. By the way, you don't know anything about refrigeration. |

By the way, you don't know anything about refrigeration. Look for the **** yellow boat surrounded by a fecal reef. Make sure it has a busted boom and crusty bouy chain . To be sure Nellie's aboard listen for the commanding screams of a cuban woman calling him " douch bag." On to an interersting topic: I'm not sure anything hunts the Mahi Mahi, might have been a tuna after the same food the Mahi's were after. Have a picture on-line? I'd like to see it. How big? What kinds of lures? Speed? Joe |

The ones that we caught souuth of the Keys were mid-size females about 36 inches long and maybe 10 pounds or so. Small compared to the ones we were catching last year down in the islands. We caught a couple more closer to Miami that were even smaller, less than 8 lbs by my estimate, but very delicious. All but one were caught on pink and white Rattlejet lures while trolling at about 8 knots. The Rattlejets are far and away the most effective lure I've ever used, definitely a fish magnet. Unfortunately barracuda like them also. http://www.bluewateroutriggers.com/shop/02364410220/C-AND-H-RATTLE-JET-LURES http://www.candhlures.com/store/C-amp-H-Fishing-Lures/Rattle-Jet-c86/ http://www.basspro.com/C-H-Lures-Rattle-Jet-Sal****er-Lure-Rigged/product/8221/-952717 |

Joe's old, rotten, wooden Owens won't go over four knots without all the seams opening up because of the mushy frames so those lures will be mostly ineffective for him. Besides, he never gets anywhere near the Gulf Stream. His boats seem to founder within a couple hundred miles of his home port of Houston. Wilbur Hubbard |

But, given your propensity for making wild claims I'm not too sure that this tale is believable. Can you prove that this is true? Or is it to be like the lessons in electricity.... total BS?

If not, you caught and ate illegal fish. Typical of ignorant and arrogant motorboaters to do that, BTW. Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur Hubbard Willie-boy, you are a big bundle of wrong. In fact it is unusual to hear you say something that is correct and when it is shown that you are, as usually happens, incorrect you twist and turn like a worm on a hot griddle attempting to some how, any how, rationalize away the fact and demonstrate that you were (somehow) right. Your problem, although you are too ignorant to realize it, is that you have a penchant for talking about things that you know nothing, or very little, about. As soon as you open your mouth you display your ignorance to everyone who hears you, although you are too dumb to know it and think that your brilliance is shining out upon your audience like the sun at midday while in fact the multitude are simply laughing at you for being a buffoon. As I've told you many times it is better to say nothing and be thought a fool then to speak and prove it. However, as usual you are too stupid to understand. But perhaps a buffoon is what you are meant to be. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

Flying off 5 ft waves and slamming off the next wave is no problem, just as long as the 42" flat screen in the main salon is secured properly. You still crapping in a bucket?
