This past Saturday was the weekend that we all went fishing offshore for the Riviera Beach CRA Boating Program. The students met us at the dock around 1:00pm, we did out safety briefing, untied, and headed out. By the time we made it out the inlet, the wind had picked up a little from the morning, but it was still a gorgeous afternoon. We trolled 3 lines around while we headed for our spot, and Capt Rich even turned the controls over to the students. We had one hit on the planner line, but sadly it hit short and was never hooked. We headed out to about 140ft and dropped some lines down to the bottom, and sent some flat lines out. The bottom rods were getting hit right away once it made it to the bottom. The students caught Vermillion Snappers, Sand Tilefish, Grunts, and much much more. Around 3:30pm we finally had to bring all the lines in and head home because the seas were starting to build, and the students were looking a little unsure of the ocean. We all had a blast being out on the boat, and can not wait to go kayaking and snorkeling next weekend at Peanut Island.
