Launching my skiff at BlackPoint Marina in Homestead on my way to pick up clients at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo an hours run away didn't seem like a good idea at the time, the wind blowing 25 knots out of the NW. Having clients waiting I had no choice and made the long run in the nasty chop, staying as close to the shoreline as possible. Upon arriving at the ORC, Kathy and her husband climbed aboard and we sped off to the oceanside of Elliot Key where we could find some fish and hide from the wind. Staking out we had a couple of schools of bonefish move through, hooked two sharks and fought a big stingray that gobbled a shrimp meant for bonefish. It was a nice trip after all and the run back was surprisingly smooth courtesy of a strong low tide.
