Dolphin Fishing in the Keys part 2

 
 
Hello everyone,
 
I hope you all are doing great. The weather continues to get more beautiful here everyday. The Tarpon are back in the passes rolling, the Sharks are back as well chasing the food they feed. The Snook bite has picked up as well as the Red Fish and the Spotted Sea trout bite is on. OffShore, my friends went out and limited out on Gag Grouper and Snapper. They caught King Fish and plenty of Spanish Mackerel. Come on the down the fishing is red hot and so are the deals on waterfront property. I never ever thought we would see waterfront prices this low again. It is really crazy...
 
Now back to part two of the Dolphin Fishing in the keys. We left off at Alligator light. It is an amazing reef off of Islamorada. The water here is so beautiful. The undersea life is just incredible and yes it is all protected, it is a no take zone period which is a great thing. I am going to share many photos with you so you too can enjoy the beauty of this magical place.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Alligator Reef is just an amazing place. The water is so clear the sea life is out of this world. So much to see and experience. Check out these photos..
 
 
 
 
 
We decided to climb up in to the light house. Oh my Gosh what a view, just amazing. Check out the photos...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We had just swam back to the boat for lunch when the United States Coast Guard pulled up and got on there loud speaker and said. "It is a federal offense to be up in the light house. Disperse immediately!!!" Yikes.. We still had a blast though
 
I am going to show you some really amazing photos that my friend Jesse took. I could not believe it my self..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jesse was able to follow this Juvenile Logger Head Sea Turtle around for about 25 minutes. What a neat experience. This place is just so absolutely incredible. These photos do not do it any justice at all.
 
If you do make it to the keys, please do not hesitate to call me or e mail me for places to stay, places to eat on the water, fishing charters, Dive Charters, Boat rentals, homes to rent on the water. What ever you need , tap my years and years of knowledge. All I can say is you must get to the Florida Keys one day.
 
Until next time, make time for your family and friends. Life goes by so fast enjoy it. Another tid bit for you. If you ever wake up one day feeling no so great, please look around you. There is family, friends and loved ones that care about you and that you care about. Be very thankful and grateful for what you do have, not what you do not have. There is always going to be someone out there that has it way worse off than you. Life is a gift, you can choose to live it and enjoy it :-)
 
Take Care and enjoy you weekend.
 
Shane "Waterfront" Wilson
