Day 128. December 12, 2013. Fishing trip


We are at Long Key State Park, our last campground in the Keys.  We took a walk on the park's nature trail.  I about wiped out due to heat and humidity.  We are staying in the same park tonight, but have to switch campsites as I reserved the 2 nights separately (getting the 2nd night when someone canceled).  We made the move, then drove into Marathon where we went on the Marathon Lady party fishing boat.  There were about 20 passengers.  We went out about 4miles.  The captain and crew were very helpful.  We fished in about 5 places, trying to find the best.  I caught a sponge, a piece of coral and 2 small fish.  One was a keeper.  George caught about 10 reef fish and threw back some small ones, including tiny grouper.  It was a fun afternoon.  We had them for dinner, grilled with oil and soy sauce, on the George Forman grill.  We watched a Great White Heron parade in front of us in the ocean, irredescent in the moonlight
