Tons of Yellow Tail & Mangrove Snappers - Fowey Rocks

Me and Krystle went out with our buddy Ceaser and his friend Raul on his boat down to Fowey Rocks in Miami. What a nice place, I had never been there before but immediately it reminded me of the keys. The water was so clear and the reefs were so alive!

The conditions were perfect for a night of yellow tailin’ the seas were around 1 ft, the moon was hidden and barely a touch of rain. We were loaded with 8 boxes of chum, a ton of squid and some fresh mullet that Raul had caught in his cast net earlier in the day. After a slow start full of grunts, we started pulling in the tails. I was pleasantly surprised almost everything we caught was atleast 12 - 14 inches, with some much bigger.

We ended up the night with more fish than we cared to count. Our take was full of yellow tail snappers, mangrove snappers, a few red snapper, one or two strawberry groupers and a few grunts.

What a great time we had, I hope to go down there again soon.
