Had another 2 great days of fishing the upper Florida Keys on the Charter boat Jackpot out of Tavernier over the last week of June. For anyone heading down to the Keys for a vacation, I highly recommend booking a day or two fishing with Capt. Lee Robinson on his custom 45' Jackpot.... Capt. Lee is a lifetime keys resident with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The boat itself is roomy, comfortable, and outfitted with the finest tackle available. He and his crew work very hard and will do whatever it takes to produce action for you. Feel free to PM me for his contact information. He also has a FB page Fishing the Jackpot.

Day 1 was spent chasing dolphin, and although they had not yet shown up yet in full force, our diligence paid off finding the birds resulting in a respectable catch and plenty of fillets for a "cook your catch" dinner at Lazy Days..! Day 2 was spent anchored up on the reef blistering a bunch nice sized yellowtail snappers. Dinner on the second day was another "cook your catch" at another of our favorite Keys restaurants called Mrs. Mac's.... Nothing better than a fresh piece of fish cooked Keys style lightly coated in panko bread crumbs, fresh tomato, scallions, shredded Parmesan, and drowned in key-lime butter sauce..! :)

If you keep posting fishing threads like this one and your annual trout fishing expeditions out west, we'll have to change the name of the site to U.S.Fishing.com!!!! Hope you are planning another trout trip to Montana and Colorado. Can't wait to see it. Absolutely great threads!!!

We leave for Montana August 19th. I am fishing for the first 2 weeks then heading over to northeastern Wyoming for the archery opener to try again for a deer in velvet. Hopefully that post will include trout and a couple of velvet bucks...!
 
Lived in Marathon for 2 Years, those are nice sized Yellowtails
 
Well done!!!!! You drove by where I used to live (Homestead), and I fished and dove off Key Largo and Tavernier many, many times. Wished I've known you were going, I would have suggested stopping by at the Big Chill in Key Largo. Not sure if he owns it or not, but Jimmy Johnson owned it when I was there. Great food and atmosphere!

As far as I know, Jimmy still owns it and lives in Key Largo.... It's very popular spot, but it's about 20 miles from where we usually stay in Islamorada. That's a long haul that we try to avoid after having dinner and a couple (4-5) adult beverages. We try and stick to spots that we could stagger home from if need be...
 
WOW an old man in a boat with a bunch of dolls! I only wish I could get my three generations of blonds into fishing!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
