Off the Edge

Capt Lain spends most of his time fishing inshore and around the everglades in shallow water, so Capt George takes the lead as the pair head out in to blue water to fish Off the Edge of the reef. The coral reef of the Florida Keys is the only living reef in the US. It's huge diversity of species means there is plenty to catch, usually in 30 - 60 ft of water. It just a question of finding the right spot. At their first mark their chum attracts lots of small unwanted fish to start with including Blue Runners, then the first two decent Snappers get eaten by a large Barracuda as Lain has got them near the boat. After George loses another good fish when his hook pulls out they decide to move and its a good call as now they are into plenty of fish and seem to have lost the big predators. Yellow Jacks, Mangrove Snapper and some Black Grouper all to be taken back to eat. On the key at Sundowners, chef Bobby Stoky shows them how to cook fresh grouper goujons in a spicy breadcrumb mix.
