Josh's first Sail

2008-03-06T19:39:00.002-05:00

This is Josh's firt sailfish. He caught it on a live blue runner in 200 feet of water at the Boca inlet.

He was fighting it on 25 lb test line with heavy tackle so it didn't take long to reel it in and release it.

Chum

2007-07-19T20:16:00.001-05:00

You are wondering how I am catching all these Snapper when no one else is???

Well here is my secret.
This is the chum you want to use..Pride of Virginia.

If you notice when you open the box this chum has a color and odor of no other chum.
I usually use about two boxes of chum per evening to catch my Snapper. We have been catching Gag, Black and Red Groupers but they are a couple of inches short so we have to release them.

What a mess of fish...

2007-07-19T20:11:00.000-05:00

Here is a bunch of Yellowtail and Mangro Snappers.

We all will be eating well the next few days!

Mess of Yellowtails

2007-07-19T20:05:00.000-05:00

This time we caught a mess of Yellowtail Snapper. I was two short of the limit but it was still a good meal and I didn't have to go to the Key's to catch them.

Jim and the Sailfish

2007-07-19T19:59:00.000-05:00

I hooked this Sailfish and Jim reeled him in. Jim had a good time reeling this one in on 15 lb test line.

After a quick photo we released him for the next fisherman!

Jim and the Mutton Snapper

2007-07-19T19:53:00.000-05:00

This is just one of many snappers that we caught this evening...

Trying to catch your limit of 10 of these is difficult.

The start of 2007 catching Snapper

2007-07-19T19:15:00.000-05:00

Most of these Snapper were caught late in the afternoon. Bruce, Jim and I went out at the Boca inlet and fished north of Palm Beach. We caught some Kingfish in the afternoon too. You can be sure you will get at least one Kingfish.

When it got dark we anchored up and caught another five Snapper that were keepers.

The Best Snapper fishing yet...

2006-10-16T19:22:00.000-05:00

We had a good day of fishing today...the fish started biting after 9:00 a.m. and tapered off at about 1:00 p.m.

Jim, Benjamin and I had a great time, we just about ran out of bait so we were lucky to catch all that we did. At least we have plenty of fish for the next few weeks.

We are still trying to catch the limit of 10 per person. At least we are having fun trying!

The Snapper are slow to bite

2006-09-17T19:16:00.000-05:00

Jim, Bruce and I went out early this morning and as you can see it was a beautiful sunrise here in Boca Raton, Florida.

The Snapper were slow to bite today but we did get a few. I had to release a few Snapper and Grouper since they were undersized. Not much here but at least it will be a tasty meal.
Finger Mullet are traveling down the beach and should be in Boca Raton by the end of this week and all the preditors that eat them will be following. They follow along with them to feed on them as they travel south.

The Labor Day Catch

2006-09-05T19:33:00.000-05:00

Well we went out on Sunday and tried to catch a two person limit of Snapper but we were seven short. Not bad for fishing in the daytime for five hours.

Then we tried to duplicate that the next day but the weather changed. We didn't do too bad. We got eight Snapper and four Kingfish and released two. We have been eating well the past few days.

What a Catch!!

2006-08-14T20:25:00.000-05:00

Just when I thought I had a good day of fishing it got better. During the week is the best time to fish. Everybody is working and I am having fun!!

We will have a feast tonight. Jim and I went out again today and kept reeling them in. We caught all these before noon.

This is a prime example of being able to catch Snapper with the wind blowing from the west. The old wives tale is "when the wind blows out of the west stay home and rest". I say "when the wind blows out of the west the fishing is the best".

Too many Kings

2006-08-13T20:15:00.000-05:00

Today we were catching too many kingfish not including the ones I released. Jim, Bruce and I caught three snappers and one mackeral. It was sure hot today... 90 something.

Releasing the Little Ones

2006-07-23T20:28:00.000-05:00

As you can see this Dolphin is undersized. Forever people have been keeping this size fish and smaller. Finally the FWC has allowed the little ones to be released until they become bigger. From this you will see bigger Dolphin caught in the future.

You will see more Tuna and Marlin caught off the coast of Florida since these fish have been allowed to be released. The main diet for these fish are the Dolphin. Of course since there are more small ones the food supply has significantly increased.

Patrick

2006-07-23T20:22:00.000-05:00

This is my son Patrick with a Kingfish. Life as a band member can have you trying to fend for your next meal. Hopefully one day he will be successful so fishing will be just for fun!!

Fishing with Friends

2006-07-23T20:07:00.000-05:00

Here is Josh with a couple of nice Mutton Snappers caught off Boca Raton. I have known Josh ever since he was little and now he is 6ft 3in. His father was my neighbor when I was growing up. Sometimes it is fun to be with your old friends and talk about old times. We enjoyed a good day of fishing.

Bruce catches the Big Dolphin!

2006-06-10T20:24:00.000-05:00

Bruce and I were out off the coast of Palm Beach. We caught some live bait and we were having a slow morning. Then at about 10:00 am things turned on and we started catching some fish. Sometimes a little patience pays off.

The final catch was three Kingfish and one Dolphin. Usually we catch some big Kingfish but this time we got a 36 inch Dolphin. We don't always get that lucky to catch a big Dolphin especially in just 160 feet of water.

Fishing with Hank

2006-05-07T20:34:00.000-05:00

Here is Hank with his first Kingfish and many more to come. This was an exciting day for Hank as he was learning to catch the Big Fish! We caught a Red Grouper earlier today but we had to release it because it was too small.

The weather was great, very little wind early in the morning as we were fishing off the coast near Lake Worth, Florida.

Still waiting for the Snapper to start biting in June. Then Hank will really get excited about fishing.

The Fishtales of Frank and Mark

2006-04-23T19:14:00.000-05:00

Today I went fishing with my friends Frank and Mark. The fishing has still been slow around here. The Dolphin are scattered from one mile to eight miles out. The best bet is to use live bait to catch them.

Snapper are beginning to bite on the reef. We caught these two Muttons and a Kingfish today in Palm Beach near Boca Raton.

As we get closer to June the Snapper and Kingfish will begin to bite more. Then we will really be catching the fish!!

2006-03-17T13:49:00.000-05:00

I recently visited Colorado Springs and as you can see Pikes Peak is still covered with snow. The rivers looked a little dry for fishing. I would recommend late Spring or Summer when searching for trout. I did spot a few land species...Snow Shoe Rabbits, Pronghorn Antelope and Mule Deer.

Remember when visiting Colorado the air is thinner due to the high altitude and this can make it difficult to breath. You need to drink plenty of water since you are in a dry environment to prevent dehydration.

Dining at The Bright Star

2006-03-17T12:46:00.000-05:00

The Bright Star is where history and fine dining come together. The Bright Star Restaurant began as a small cafe in 1907 and is located in Bessemer, Alabama near Birmingham. For over 90 years they have been serving Greek style snapper and steak and are dedicated to customer satisfaction.

They serve the best Southern food along with Seafood specialties. I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the owners during my visit. Jimmy Koikos was there mingling with the guests and it was a treat to talk with him about the history of the restaurant and the men who have built the reputation of fine dining there in Bessemer, Alabama.

If you ever have the opportunity to travel to Bessemer I highly recommend lunch or dinner at The Bright Star!

You are never too old to catch your first Sailfish!

2006-02-05T21:35:00.000-05:00

This is what we were fishing for but we ended up with catching a Sailfish too!

Sometimes when fishing for Grouper dropping your bait towards the bottom the Sailfish thinks it is an injured bait. They think it's a free meal.

I took my boss out for the day on his 28ft open fisherman. He recently bought a nice boat and needed some specialized guide service so I was called into action!!

I took him north of the Boca inlet to one of my Grouper and Snapper honey holes. We did catch several Red Grouper but he really got excited when he hooked that Sailfish. The fish immediately went straight out from the boat. The way the fish was fighting in the water I knew it was either a Wahoo, Shark or Sailfish. Once I saw the tailfin come out of the water I knew he had a Sailfish.

After the fish tired some he swam by the boat and made a second run then jumped about three times. That was the exciting part just watching that fish jump out of the water. Then we unhooked the fish and made some pictures then released the eight foot Sailfish. This was a great day for fishing!

Still recovering from Wilma

2006-01-08T21:42:00.000-05:00

Although it has been a little over two months many places still have significant roof and window damage. Just thought you may want to see some interesting pictures.

As you can see these folks are homeless now...

At least I didn't have my boat at this marina...

Most of the windows are boarded up. I am glad I don't live there!!

Debris along the side of the road just waiting to be picked up.

Recovering from Wilma

2005-11-09T22:30:00.000-05:00

Well...I have been quite busy recovering from Wilma. It has been over two weeks now and life is not back to normal yet. Some people still don't have power.

People were getting in line for gas the night before and only hoping that the gas station would open the next day. There is much to tell but I don't have the time to tell it all now...just be glad you weren't here for this one.

Imagine no food in the stores, no water, no power, no food...Life was a bit unusual here. Stay safe and stay tuned for hurricane safety tips.

Wild Bill

Grouper News

2005-10-11T19:37:00.000-05:00

From Sunday's experience we realized that the Red Grouper migrated from deep water structure to 120ft of water. We were catching them with dead frozen sardines and ballyhoo. Bouncing the bait off the bottom is the most productive way to catch this species.

Fish we Caught Today!

2005-10-09T19:20:00.000-05:00

See what happens when Bruce goes with WildBill for an adventure!!

He catches the Big Fish!!

Today was a great day for Grouper. We really hit on the Big ones.

Some people go fishing...WildBill catches fish!

You know fishing can be fun but it's lots more fun when you bring home some fish...

We will be having Grouper Fingers for dinner.

Smoked Salmon Salad

Whole Baked
Mutton Snapper

Mexican Mutton Snapper

Smoked Salmon Salad

2005-08-16T20:55:00.000-05:00

The fish needs to soak overnight in a brine. The brine consists of 2 cups Coarse Kosher Salt and 1 cup Brown Sugar. Then add enough water to cover the fish.

I sprinkle Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning all over the fish just before I put it on the smoker.

It does take about 3-4 hours to smoke the salmon. Depending on the heat and if you prefer it dryer then you can smoke it longer.

The temperature gauge on the smoker is warm, ideal and hot. It is best when the temperature is just below ideal. If you cook it too hot and too long then the fish will become too dry. You can see from the picture I smoked three types of fish. I smoked Salmon, Tuna and Kingfish.

Yesterday's Catch

2005-08-09T18:13:00.000-05:00

It was a good day of fishing...I caught a Sailfish, Frank caught a Kingfish and Mark caught a 30 pound Blackfin Tuna. Frank and Mark go fishing all the time but never seem to catch any fish unless they bring me along.

Frank has a 28 ft Edgewater open fisherman. It sure beats my little Jon boat!!

They really enjoy me going with them since we always catch fish. I take them to the honey holes where the fish are.

As you can see Mark is excited about the Kingfish since this was his first.

Dining in Deland, Florida

2005-08-08T20:10:00.000-05:00

Recently Patsy and I visited some friends in the Daytona area. They took us to Emmy's Time Out Tavern in Deland, Florida. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. It was a great place to catch up on old times with our friends.

I recommend the pan fried Grouper. This was the most delicious I have ever had. It was filleted thin and it was very tender. Emmy was there so we tried to get her secret recipe. I do know she makes her own bread crumbs so I am sure this is her secret.

If you are ever traveling and want to visit Emmy she is located at 2069 Old New York Avenue.

Fishing in Boca Raton, Florida

2005-07-24T20:00:00.000-05:00

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.

Honey Garlic Yellowtail Snapper

2005-07-17T21:11:00.000-05:00

Recently I caught several Yellowtail Snapper. This time I wanted to make something sweet and tangy so I came up with this recipe. It was so easy I couldn't believe it could be so good!

Ingredients

Whole Snapper
1/2 cup Honey
4 cloves Garlic
3 Chives chopped
Salt & Pepper

Mix together the honey, garlic and chives. Then salt and pepper the fish and place in a baking dish. Spread the honey mixture over the fish on both sides. Place the snapper in the oven and cook 325 degrees for 30 minutes.

Hope you enjoy!

Sea Scallops with Fettuccine

2005-07-12T20:39:00.000-05:00

This is another favorite that fortunately we can purchase the scallops fresh at the local market.

It only takes about 30 minutes to prepare this meal. It is really quick and easy.

Ingredients

1 lb Sea Scallops
1/2 stick butter
1 onion chopped fine
6 garlic cloves crushed
1/4 tsp chili powder
Fresh ground pepper
DiGiorno Four Cheese Alfredo Sauce
Garlic Roasted Fettuccine
Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese

Saute' onion and garlic with butter until tender. Then add scallops, chili powder and fresh ground pepper. Continue to saute' until the scallops are golden brown.

Cook fettuccine as directed then rinse in cold water. Warm DiGiorno Four Cheese Alfredo sauce in the microwave then toss with fettuccine. Serve scallops over the fettuccine. Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Smoked Fish

2005-07-11T19:32:00.000-05:00

Smoked Fish is easy to prepare. It does take several hours to prepare but it is worth it. There are two methods to prepare smoked fish.

The first method allows you to preserve the fish for a longer period of time. Prepare a brime of 1 gallon of water, 2 cups salt and 1 cup brown sugar.

This needs to be mixed until well blended. Place fish in a covered container and soak the fish overnight in the refrigerator.

Another method would be to lightly salt the fish then add garlic powder and Tony Chachere's Original creole seasoning.

Then smoke for a minimum of 3 hours and no longer than 8 hours depending on the temperature of the smoker.

Preferably the heat indicator should be in the middle of the range and smoke for 5 hours. You don't want to smoke it too long or it will get tough.

You may want to prepare
Smoked Salmon Dip.

As you can see I have prepared Smoked Kingfish, Smoked Salmon and Smoked Mackerel. Any of these are actually great as a dip!

Build your own WEB Site

2005-07-10T20:06:00.000-05:00

Ever thought of building your own WEB site but didn't know how to get started? Today I thought I would share one of my best tips. This tip has nothing to do with fishing except that it could change your life and enable you to fish all over the world.

Patsy and I started our own site FlyFishing with WildBill. This was a dream of mine for a long time but as you know you have to have the dream first then the plan will come.

Finally Patsy came home from work one day and shared the plan of how we were going to get started. We had no idea how to do this but with SiteBuildIt we quickly learned.

This is a business so you must treat it like one to be successful. We wish you much success in the future.

Why build just a web site?

Fried Mutton Snapper

2005-07-09T20:10:00.000-05:00

We had fried mutton snapper for dinner tonite. This is one that I caught recently while fishing north of the Boca inlet last weekend before Hurricane Dennis came to town. Not much fishing going on around here now!!

I also made some really good baked beans. I don't really bake them though...I cook them on top of the stove in a cast iron skillet.

You can tell which one is the Mutton Snapper because it is bigger and has a dot on it with a forked tail. Also the others have a yellow tail...therefore they are the Yellowtail Snappers.

To prepare just dip the fish in egg then cover with italian bread crumbs. Pan fry in extra virgin olive oil. Salt & Pepper as desired. We like tarter sauce made with sweet relish and Miracle Whip.

How to catch live bait

2005-07-08T18:50:00.000-05:00

If you are ever interested in catching live bait for either inshore or offshore this is one of the many methods you can use.

Have you ever heard of a Sabiki rig? This is approximately four feet of leader with six small feathered flys and a small sinker attached to the end. Hopefully you will cast into a small school of fish and they will bite the flys.

This is Bruce with a Sabiki rig that allows you to catch six baits at one time. Sometimes you will get different species of bait at one time. Since you can catch multiple bait at the same time this is one of my favorites.

Remember only to take enough bait that you would be using that day and release the remaining live bait on the way back in. If you want to catch bait tomorrow release the extra bait today.

South Florida Sushi

2005-07-07T20:25:00.000-05:00

Among other things the seafood is excellent here in South Florida. Tonight Patsy and I went to the Kyojin Japanese Seafood Buffet located in Boca Raton along with Jason (her son) and our friend Robin.

We try to get there at least once a week for the fresh seafood buffet. They have everything you can imagine and the food is delicious.

Their feature items are the Sushi Sashimi Bar, Hibachi cooked to order grill, Japanese and Oriental Hot Food (over 40 items), Snow Crab, Raw Oysters, Mussels and Shrimp Coctail. Then of course there is all the delightful desserts.

The local fishermen provide the fish daily to the restaurant. It doesn't get any fresher than this. We highly recommend this place since they have such a variety that everyone is sure to enjoy the selection of food.

Mexican Mutton

2005-07-06T20:31:00.000-05:00

Tired of those same old fish recipes. Want to try something new? This dish was awesome! Of course you can adapt this to your favorite meat if you don't like fish but the Mutton Snapper is better than chicken.

Ingredients

1 lb Mutton Snapper
1 sm onion finely chopped
3 garlic cloves crushed
1 lg Portabella Mushroom
1/2 stick butter
Salt & Pepper
Salsa
Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Sour Cream
Soft Tortillia Shells

Wash the Portabella Mushroom and remove the stem. Then you will saute' the chopped onion, crushed garlic and the stem of the Portabella (chopped) in butter. When the onion is tender then remove from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.

Then cut the portabella into strips and saute it in the same skillet with a little more butter. Once the mushroom is tender remove and set aside.

Then you will add butter as needed and brown the Mutton Snapper. Once the fish is done you can chop it up in small pieces to make it easier to fold up in the tortillas.

Then layer the ingredients on the tortilla shell as shown in the photo, roll it up and serve!

WildBills Hurricane Predictions

2005-07-05T19:06:00.000-05:00

Here we go again with the Hurricanes here in Florida. We may possibly get one on the West Coast this weekend.

I would like to make my predictions for this year. I say we will have one in Tampa a catagory two or better. One hitting Ft Lauderdale and one in Daytona. At least in those three cities they need to get prepared. Food, water, basic medical supplies, generators and make sure all the windows are covered. You will need supplies to last for at least two weeks. Get your supplies now while you can. Once they declare the storm is coming the stores are emptied and you can't find the basic necessities.

Remember most of the injuries are after the storm when people are taking down the hurricane shudders and venturing outside with the downed power lines. You have to take extra precaution after the storm since you really don't know the extent of the damages around you.

As you can imagine the fishing slows down during hurricane season. The good thing is you get bigger and better quality fish during the hurricanes because they are hungry. They aren't eating well because the water is distorted.

Have a safe Hurricane season!

Happy Fourth of July

2005-07-04T17:49:00.000-05:00

It rained this morning and a little too windy for me and the "little boat". Not a good fishing day.

I took Patsy to the Goldcoast Ballroom for the afternoon. They had an Old Fashioned BBQ with dancing. Kathie, Darrell and Rod were some of the friends that we saw today. We have been dancing with them for years now.

Jeff and Vinnie are the owners of the ballroom and they always have a good show along with the meal. They had a dance team of guys doing a Mambo routine which was really nice. The best was Billie and Katie's exhibition. They were awesome! They are world champions and we only wish we could dance like that!!

We love to dance. In fact that is how we met... on the dance floor. We started out dancing to Country Music and of course they don't really play that at the ballroom but Vinnie always plays one "Two Step" just for us.

Now it's time for the fireworks....

Today's Catch

2005-07-03T20:17:00.000-05:00

It was a beautiful Sunny Sunday morning. Of course it was a little too hot here in Florida but a good day for fishing. Bruce and I went out of the Boca Raton inlet and went North. We caught two Kingfish and then hooked a Bonita while fishing for Grouper. This attracted a eight foot Bull Shark. That is the species of shark that attacks humans along the beaches.

Finally I got to release the Bonita and Bruce caught a Yellowtail Snapper. Later in the afternoon when we were coming in before the inlet Bruce caught a Mutton Snapper.

I caught and released an undersized Grouper and Mutton Snapper. The rain clouds were building up so we decided to come in and clean the boat. It has rained here for over a month now just about every afternoon which is unusual for June.

High Power Shooting Competition

2005-07-02T20:00:00.000-05:00

Well you can't go fishing everyday so today I went to the range for a high power shooting competition. There were about 30 guys competing in the 100 yard match. I did very well and won first place in the Master classification shooting a service rifle. We were using a 308 M1A.

I started out real well and then I lost some points at the end. Either way I still won the match. I enjoy the shooting competition because it helps maintain my marksmanship capability.

My opinion is that this should be a universal skill. When Americans grew up in a rural setting this was a natural ability. It was not just for sport it was a matter of survival for some people.

I am looking forward to the next match.

WildBill and the Grouper

2005-07-01T21:49:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to show you a grouper that I had caught offshore in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. This was a good day for fishing!

If you will notice I have my Nikken magnetic back belt on. For those of you that have discomfort with your back you may want to try it. I have been using the magnetic products for about two years now and it has improved my mobility tremendously. If you are interested just drop me a note and I will tell you more about it.

Mutton Snapper

2005-07-01T20:24:00.000-05:00

Well when you can't go fishing you either tie flys or cook. Since I caught several Mutton Snapper last week I made another Baked Mutton Snapper.

This time I grilled the fish for about 10 minutes then added the sauce and baked it for about 10 minutes.

You can tell if the fish is done by pulling back the fin. If the fin pulls up easily then the fish is done. Or another way to tell is if you use a fork and gently pull the meat away from the bone. If it falls off the bone it's done!

Hope you enjoy the recipes! Try them and let me know how your dinner was.

Baked Mutton Snapper

2005-06-30T09:49:00.000-05:00

Once you catch the fish then you will need some recipes. I thought it would be good to try the whole fish baked and this Mutton Snapper turned out great. It just fell off the bone.

Ingredients

Whole Mutton Snapper
1 tbsp Parsley
1 tbsp Oregeno
1 tbsp Basil
1 tsp lemon
3 cloves Garlic
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup Dry White Cooking Wine
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp each Salt & Pepper
Italian Bread Crumbs

Saute' the onion and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add the parsley, oregeno, basil, lemon and dry white cooking wine. Continue to simmer for 5 more minutes. Then brush all over the fish on both sides. Once the fish is coated spread bread crumbs on both sides.

Bake covered in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes to brown the skin of the fish. Serve over a bed of pasta or rice with your favorite vegtables.

As always when eating a whole fish be careful about the bones. The fish is so tender that if you gently pull away from the bones the fish will just fall right off.

Joe with a Barracuda

2005-06-29T11:08:00.000-05:00

This is Joe with the Barracuda that he caught. He was fishing on the bottom for Snapper and Grouper when he caught this one. The Barracuda fought hard and we weren't sure at first what he had caught. Then we realized it was a Barracuda. These are hard fighting fish with large teeth and fun to catch but not to eat. You have to be careful unhooking this fish. One wrong move and a few less fingers.

He still had a good time even though he was going home hungry!! Maybe next time Joe... In world of fishing you are not always eating well. That just means he will have to come back.

Chris with a Spanish Mackerel

2005-06-29T10:52:00.000-05:00

Here is Chris with his Spanish Mackerel. We were fishing about 3 miles offshore from Islamorada. We were drifting using a dead ballyhoo on the surface when the fish attacked the bait. As the fish was taking the line Chris engaged the reel and set the hook. He fought the fish for about 10 minutes before WildBill gaffed the fish onboard the boat.

Chris took this one back to Tennessee along with the Kingfish that he caught. I am sure he will be back soon to go fishing again. He had lots of fun!

Fly Fishing in the Keys

2005-06-28T21:17:00.000-05:00

This past weekend I went Fly Fishing in the Keys of Florida. Chris and Joe came down from Tennessee to catch some fish. We rented a boat from Bud and Mary's Marina in Islamorada for the day. Since they only get to fish in fresh water it was an exciting day for them. They both caught some fish to take back home.

The girls went shopping at the Rain Barrel where you can find all sorts of stuff. There are several shops loaded with beautiful art from the local artists. If you ever get to Islamorada this is a must to stop in and stroll through the tropical gardens.

We ate at the "All You Can Eat Buffet" and it was awesome. They had all sorts of seafood prepared just about any way you can imagine. They even have a stirfry chef to prepare your own creation. Fishing vacations can be a real treat for the entire family.
