First week I went fishing with Fred in Venice, Florida, and we caught some nice fish.

My first grouper of the trip

They're getting bigger

I thought I'd best let Fred catch one

Wow, what a fight. This 30" Bonito (little tunny) wore me out.

Fred catches a nice 40" King Mackeral (okay it was the big fish of the week, but the Tuna fights better)

The big 24" Grouper, caught on my rod, I let Fred set the hook then I had to haul him in

So I thought I would let Fred have a picture holding him as well

Wow, another Bonito caught on the bottom on my light rod

They really put up a nice fight
Now it's off to Marco Island, Florida to join my family.

I sent Richard to find the fish for me

That's him under the water

He thinks he's found four

Good job Rich as I land this nice Jack
Fishing with Fred so much fun, I took my boys up for a day.

Andrew starts of with a nice Grouper

Richard soon gets in the swing of things, after catching 5 bait fish on 1 rod

Andrew gets a bigger fish, boy does he groan when he's pulling them in

Richard get's in the groove and catches 4 within about 5 minutes on the same bait

Fred thinks he's won the day with a 21 1/2" Grouper

Sorry Fred, experience shows in the end as I pull this '22 1/2" big boy' in on my light rod and declare myself the champion
Back at Marco Island, the girls don't want to be outdone.

Sarah fights what we think is a sting ray at first

But ends up pulling in this nice Jack

Judy lands this Spanish Mackeral

And also pulled in a Sting Ray, 2 snapper, 1 catfish and 2 more mackeral

I catch a nice LadyFish off the rocks

And Sarah thinks she's at the Poker table, this Jack will make a nice pair

All this hard work, no wonder I'm tired

A nice sunset to round off a good vacation
