First night out from Key West on the Dreamcatcher. We anchored at Ballast Key, a magnificent private island owned by Charlie’s uncle. Caught a barracuda from the pier, and yellow tail and mutton snapper from the back of the boat. Yellow tail for breakfast this morning! Afterwards we’re pulling anchor and heading out to the Marquesas. We’ve been mulling over all sorts of fishing charter ideas using kayaks, the Dreamcatcher, and skiffs. More later on that. Let’s see what the fishing is like first!

Tomorrow I’m flying to Florida to meet my old friends Capt. John Duke and Charles Greenfield for a trip out to the Marquesas Keys, 30 miles west of Key West. We’ll be aboard Capt. John’s schooner the Dreamcatcher (see link under “Vic’s Favorites) scouting out the light-tackle fishing potential for the area. Stop back for updates from the road…or the boat. We’re looking for tarpon, bonefish, tarpon, permit, barra, jack, and snapper. And, check out my new “Get Updates” link where you can enter your email for automatic notification when I update the blog. It should be up and running in a day or two.
