Nice there going back in the Box Johnny’s boat’s unique cuz how many people can you take on it 20 up to 20 people it’s like one of the only private charter boats in South Florida that can take more than six so we got a big group

Like a bachelor party or a wedding party just a bunch of people that want to go fishing or big family this is the boat you guys want to go on the only boat Coast Guard inspector in town that does Private offshore chars right yes sir what else been biting on the reef what

Days so the alamada sale fly tournament’s coming up and it’s the only sish tourament here on fly I believe chop liver chop liver Alex Alex how many times you won that tournament I don’t know a handful a hand couple of times so and they got one today on fly right I

See a flag sir now to catch the St on fly on Rod is pretty tricky right so exciting they’re blowing up from me to you like me out of the water 20 times for 10 minutes he was buying the boat he got he was yelling buff it I need

Another value yeah I’m just trash how many fights did you get uh we raised four so you had two hookups and got one what’ Michigan think of it is it exciting yeah it was exciting step box all the way back step definitely better okay good all right is

Cby coming back to fish now no he’s no he’s a Baby Dude okay all right well good luck to the next couple days Kevin Alex Hall of Famer up here s on fly you don’t see that every day and onor they got one so that’s good tomorrow the next

Day the tournament so hopefully they get him in the tournament he’s got a good team there he’s got Captain Jimmy Hendrick Captain Justin Miller he makes and runs the rqu and CO’s favorite M Big Bird he calls him for some reason we’re here with Captain Steven and Captain

Bruce we’re get some inore fishing reports Steven why don’t you to go first what’s lightning all right so we’ve been patches have been really good Bruce and I both have been out there uh catching Snappers bunch of different species definitely a good place to go get some

Dinner um in the back country it’s been kind of Hit or Miss we’ve had some good days and then some days where you definitely have to work really hard to get it done today was a good example of that I think we caught three red fish

Three snook five or six trout a couple Goliath groupers one of our snoke though was one of those really nice ones so that kind of that was our day maker the day before though we had a good day you know and it was a lot easier so you

Never really know what you’re going to get into um did have a kind of special trip with Nick’s dad on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day and got into the KOB is really well something we don’t see very often but we happen to be right

Place right time had a big day doing that and um I think that’s a good kind of wrap up of this week and big giant black drum too right big black drum on top of that and some triple tail we had like a golf day it was pretty cool okay

Good so nice mixed bag Bruce and I talked to some people fish with you and I know it’s hard to believe but I actually said I had a really good time with you no I said I had a blast I said and at the end of the day he said you

Want to get a shark they put a bait out with like a second he caught a big bull shark well they they didn’t leave it but it was go TI sharks were every PA swarming and I said it’ll only take a minute the kid says I bet you it’ll take

5 minutes I said I’ll bet you tastes less than one minute and we threw it out and then you know chased it around for a while but yeah it’s all been good lot of black drums black drum red fish yeah good they were excited they went offshore today they said we Bruce

We had a good time they’re smiling so you must have show them a good time uh I but I did yell at sometimes I have a hard time them little kids are like man do I sit down do I do this I said just stand up all right so sometimes the guys

You know we’re passionate about fishing so think about like a football team and a coach not really like yelling at you I got I got told to stop yelling at my client yesterday and I was like I’m not yelling I’m just really excited this does doesn’t happen a lot we just have

To get this done and get a ride Ron hurry up that can happen so it’s been really good okay good it’s a little chilly we have these cold fronts so I know the ride back the last few days must have been cold but it is warming up

A little bit now so it’s getting uh more comfortable y all right let’s go get a couple more boats we’ll wrap it up a couple other boats that came in earlier today with a buzz on he had a nice big mutton snapper he had a few Vermilion a

Couple trigger fish and some black fent Tunas that was good to see like we mentioned earlier the king macro bite has been off the charts the last week or two um the bait was a little tougher today at sound like but we went out you know King fishing where we go the day

Before New Year’s Eve so the 31st December and we had an epic bite we had four or five Big Fish between 20 and 28 lbs and a light tackle an absolute blast and a lot of those kings are going to be 5 to 15 lbs but once you start getting

The 20 Pounders or smokers as we call them they’re a fun fight so a lot of those around you know right after Christmas with some good fishing too Relentless had a couple Wahoos one day they had big African pompo and the sish are just showing up that was cool to see

KX catch the one on fly today and some boats put some time didn’t get them but you know that’s how fishing goes off short especially when you go for like a you know maybe I would want to call it maybe like a game fish or a sport fish

You can have a lot of action with other species but if you ever want to get like a sail fish or swordfish offshore a big tarp in the back country it takes time you don’t get them every trip so that’ll uh kind of wrap that part up so hope you

  1. I was the dopey looking guy in the orange shirt. Was there with my older brother and my nephews. And I can not say enough good things about Jordan, Brooks, Bruce, Trent, and the young second mates Sawyer and Blake. And, to all the crew and staff of Bud ‘N Mary’s. We had a blast, and I can not wait to go back for some more fishing at Bud ‘N Mary’s! Very nicely done y’all! High marks!

  2. Hi Nick, really enjoyed watching your dock walks. It's so beautiful there. What time do the boats come back in?

  3. I was down there before Xmas with a buddy on a private boat and the fishing was a little tough offshore although we did manage a cpl Smoker Kings and an undersize Wahoo but still fun. Had much better luck inshore with plenty of Reds big Snook and some nice size trout. Any way you slice it you still cant beat fishing in the Keys this time of year! I’ll be down again in April at Bud n Mary’s so see you all soon!😎
