First day fishing at Lignumvitae Cay

It was an uncharacteristically overcast and cool (60s) day today, so we took the Key West out with our friends Rick and Sandra and went fishing. 

Rick and John taught me how to jig. I caught a strawberry grouper but it was too small.

 



John was showing me how to jig, and he caught a gorgeous mutton grouper.....

....with MY NEW ROD!
We came back to the marina on the east side of Lignumvitae Cay which was 2 feet deep at high tide. It was a rocket ride.......

Rick gave John some pointers in fileting the fish.........

 

....then I cooked it up for dinner in a Matacumbe preparation.

 

Stay tuned for more fish stories.
