FLORIDA KEYS WINDING DOWN.....................

[ray koziatek]

WELL another season winds down ..March has been 15 to 35 mph winds from the first,cutting into my boating time.....bummer but i still can tuck in around the islands but offshore and long runs have been out.. put over 800 miles on the little boat this year(14 ft) landed hundreds of fish from 8in to 4ft . grabbed the same on lobsters no 4 ftrs tho.

ran through 40 tanks of air with many many more hours with the sorkle.. have been bit by 3 morrey eels circled by a school of 8 ft sharks,2 days ago had my first visit with a 12ft plus as he grabbed a 30 in grouper less than 10 ft away like musky on a cheetos in a derby. havent done much with the go pro but if ii get a chance in the next 7 days ill try for some good action shots.. I have found some really cool areas to spear fish (hunt) you gotta stalk the fish you want just like a deer but closer as the efficative range is 2 ft or less from the tip of the spear.....here are a few shots ................arrgh april 1st is fast approaching.............................
