Mine was bottom fishing! (I know, what a surprise).
We had a ball.
First we stopped. One 12 yr old pulled in a butter fish. As he was bringing it in a shark tried to eat it off his line. The kid jumped about a mile.
We hooked into the sharks for 10 minutes or so. Our gear was too light so we didn't get 'em in.
If you never had a 100+ pound predator fish on the other end of your line, you don't know excitement!
Then we moved for some calmer fishing and we caught strawberry grouper, triggger fish and others.
Top it off with reggae music on the boat's cd player, AMAZING views of the magic and it was a complete blast!
A great time was had by all
