Robert Holt, Mike and Phil had two three great days of fishing aboard the Big Dawg. After a fun day in Key West, it was time to get serious! Two days were focused on Cobia fishing (the wind is still blowing like crazy oceanside!) and the catching was crazy. Lurking predators (mackerals and sharks), were also targeted for fun. Later on, fishing the bridge proved to be propserous!

Blase and Billy Duggan, well seasoned fisherman, brought along to rookies this trip who got their hooks into some amazing fish. Billy was smooth landing this giant King Mackeral and Kevin and Decklan caught their own too. Blase enjoyed catching the Cobia and anything else that would take his bait. Great catch!

Annual fisherman on the BIg Dawg, Randy, Dan, and Murph, jacked some jaw on the gulfside. Randy hooked a giant King Mackeral which he brought in to get smoked, and Don and Murph landed some Goliath Grouper. (Judging from Don’s shirt, it looks like the Goliath put up a good fight!!) A few Cobia were also caught to dine on.
