Fishing in Boca Raton, Florida




This was the beautiful sunrise this morning as Bruce and I came out of the Boca Raton inlet. We went north a couple of miles in 120 feet deep waters. The first fish Bruce caught was a nice grouper. Then he caught a yellowtail snapper. Soon I realized I was falling behind here I decided I had better catch something. I finally broke the ice (just a little play on words since we never get any ice here!!) and caught a Kingfish.

By lunchtime we ended up with a tied score. Bruce had caught one grouper, four yellowtails and one kingfish. I caught one kingfish, two mutton snappers, two yellowtail snapper and one lane snapper. All of these were caught on dead bait.

We will be eating well the next few days. Stay tuned for some new recipes.
