If I was there, I'd be in heaven!

This is the place. Even mentions Bud ‘n Mary’s.
Most of the time we would filet and eat what we caught or freeze it for later. Because you couldn’t eat all you caught. But, I remember sometimes selling our catch to the fish market. I remember making $400/day. Not bad work if you can find it.
My wife is from Charleston, SC. I learned about this guy on a show I was watching that I’d like to charter if I have a chance.

When I lived in NY we would fish for blues. Fun fact: they will vomit just to keep feeding.

A few years ago, we went fly fishing in Montana near Yellowstone. You’re not reeling them in as fast as fishing in the Keys, but with the scenery and nice weather it was special, too. And I was there for a conference so work chipped in $1500 for my trip.
