We just got back from our second week long trip to Marathon this summer. Again we had a wonderful time enjoying fishing and being together as a family, minus our second child (oldest daughter in Colorado).
The Mango bite was great in the bay. Mostly decent size fish and very hungry. Limits daily, except first day on Atlantic side. We actually did better on yt's and added some lanes to the mix on the bay side. Atlantic side bite for yt's and mangos seemed quite slow.
Friday, we had an incredible experience with a whale shark in about 8 1/2 feet of water. He had to be about 20 feet long. We stayed with him for about 15 minutes.
We even pulled a small cobia off him (released).
My younger son caught a nice size cuda that put on quite the aerial show.
Last night or should I say early this morning (2:30 am) he caught a tarpon of the dock.
Great times and great memories.
