2 Cuda's & the Coast Guard off Marathon, Florida

[@GoMidwestFishing]

Now that's one fish I would love to catch. That was fun seeing you catch something different.

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Randy!! The Keys has been a yearly trip but the last 2 years have been a weather nightmare.....It's a good thing that there are a bunch of great seafood places to eat at!!

[@OutandaboutoutdoorswithRon]

Well still looked like a ok day of fishing! Glad to see you didn’t get washed out by the last storm!😊

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Ron!! I use to troll the East Coast a lot but have given up these trips to enjoy the wealth of fishing here on the Gulf Coast but I still make at least one trip each year to Marathon and unfortunately some years the weather keeps me on the sidelines!! I lost everything in September with Helene and am now just getting back into trying to build a new house to replace the shack.....Maybe in a year my life will get back to normal.....Sea Ya!!

[@RandolphRelicRecovery]

The water and weather look nice.

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Martin!! Continuous thunderstorms made the vacation miserable.....But as the saying goes you pay your money and takes your chances!!

[@JohnAmes]

Now would you call that rough seas have a great weekend my friend

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks John!! Sloppy but manageable...... But the fish are hard to come by when there's no floating stuff out there.....It's like trolling in dead water!!

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

I wonder if the coast guard was looking for someone that owned that life jacket.

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Dug!! Probably not.....They have been mostly trying to slow the influx of migrants between the Tortugas, Cay Sol Banks and Cuba and the CG has a small boat station near 7 Mile Bridge in Marathon for anything near the Keys.😎

A reel sprint of a vid despite being in Marathon. Glad the wind laid enough to get out. It’s high time we ice down a cooler and come potlick your spots n snatch some bugs w ya
Cuda tacos on the menu tonight! Sounds feisty!

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Marc!! I was going to check some bug spots but the wind and storms just never let up.....The time down there started and ended that way!!

[@fishing4dinner]

@@WesLovelace sounds like both times we’ve gone. With baby turning 1 we’re still a couple years away from going back…..unless somehow I can convince the clan we need to move to FL

[@WaynJul]

I see you took the big boy out. That water is nice and blue.

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Wayn!! When I go to the Keys fishing offshore from Marathon is really the only game in town!!

[@JAllredFishing]

Sorry you hit some nasty seas, I know you look forward to visiting the Keys.

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks J!! I think 2024 will be the will be the year to remember going forward!!

[@dogismyco-pirate]

I hope you are on the mend from your loss an on the build? Mother nature never seams to play its cards when we are ready for the aces she is holding!

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Nathan!! I'm getting pretty close to getting a contractor .....Still waiting on the FEMA money but I might get my building permit by the first of the year!!

[@FishingWithLou]

Looked pretty rough out there West, cuda been better :-)

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks Lou!! Not all that sloppy but when you only have one day to get out you take advantage of that chance!!

[@dronemafiaproduction.]

Little choppy. Deep water there Wes how far off shore are you ?

[@WesLovelace]

Thanks DMP!! 12 miles off Marathon.....just can't get a break in the weather.....But the food was great.....LOL!!

[@dronemafiaproduction.]
