While the fishing was slow on the day I went out, Captain Dmitry worked hard to find the fish. We started by catching fish for bait and then moved to several locations in search of bigger game fish. We did end up catching a grouper, which was the first one I’ve ever caught! Captain Dmitry uses an app to translate between Russian and English.

Had a great trip yesterday.  Seas were rough so we had to head in early. Caught sand tile fish for bait then caught red snapper strawberry grouper and another orange grouper that I was unfamiliar with. Caught 1 larger shark too that caught for an hour….was quite the workout. Took a big snapper to a restaurant the captain recommended that they cooked up. The 1 fish fed five of us!  Gave the rest to the captain

We did the short trip a couple of miles off shore where you drop your line in the water and wait for the bite using cut bait.  Good trip.  Was a bit wavy so take a Dramamine and don’t drink the night before.  We caught some fish though so it was good.

Dmitry was very friendly and helped us beginner anglers catch some nice grouper. He had all sorts of equipment for small and big fish as well as trawling/bottom fishing, the latter of which is preferred on this boat. We used Google translate to talk back and forth and Dmitry’s cheerful disposition made up for the language barrier. We would definitely go with Dmitry again!

Great day at the wather!
