My wife and I spent a few days down in Tavernier (upper keys) recently with my family and a few of their friends. We enjoyed great weather, and some really good fishing all around with my buddy Capt. Lee on the charter boat Jackpot. Here are a few of the highlights.

One of these days.....!
 
Some delicious fish! I’ve spent time kayak fishing in the bays near Sarasota and Bradenton. Some of my fondest memories!
 
I smell fish on the grill. Awesome time I am sure! Congrats on the family time.
 
Fantastic. Looks like y’all had a blast
 
Nice Looking Yellow Tails, Did you fish Ocean Side or Gulf Side
 
Well done, looks like a successful day on the water. (y)(y)(y)

I lived in Homestead, and I miss the water, and fishing. No such luck in Middle Georgia. :( But, we have good size deer. :)
 
I’m jealous! My wife and I spent part of a day in Key West last week as part of our anniversary cruise. Fishing was on MY list of things to do but time didn’t allow for it.

On the ocean side just off Tavernier... Yellowtails are solid on both Pickles and Molasses reefs.
 
Looks like you had a great time!
 
Great reed, but unfortunately I have terrible memories of Molasses Reef. When I was station at Homestead AFB, we dove MR, and lost one of our divers. He drowned in 20 ft of water. Terrible day.
 
I lived in Marathon for two years and use to fish on the Gulf Side if my Neighbor was in town,, if not I'd just get on the Marathon Lady with all the tourists, ( a bad day Fishing is still better than working)

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
