Out the door by 630 for 7a departure on offshore fishing charter First Choice by Captain Larry out of Islamorada.  On way out to deep sea 20-25 miles out we stopped near Alligator Reef so the first mate (Rick) could cast out for bait.
We trolled on our way out to sea and caught a barracuda.
Captain Larry spotted some birds congregating about 10 miles further and we found our first bit of Mahi Madness - our boat was hooking them as fast as we could put baited hooks in the water and also grabbed a few jacks and other smaller fish we threw back.
Once it slowed down - Captain Larry found another hot spot near a floating plank he rightfully assumed meant bait fish and bigger fish were in the area.  Another round of mahi madness ensued.
First time my son and nephew got to try offshore fishing and they had a day they’ll never forget. 

My family & I had the best day on the water! Captain Larry & his mate did everything they could to put us on fish and they did just that. My kids had never been off shore fishing before & loved every minute of it! They were very patient & took the time to explain everything to make our fishing trip a success! I highly recommend fishing with first choice! When we come back to the keys, they will be our “first choice” once again!
