Florida Sportsman Forum member Brian "Banchi" Youngblood treated his family to a half day of fishing. He requested yellowtailing for his daughter's birthday, so off to the reef we went. We fished in 85 feet of water with no current. We were chased off the first spot by sharks. On the second spot, there were no sharks but the 'tails were noticeably smaller. The family caught many fish and threw back multitudes in favor of keeping fish 14" and larger. They ended the day with a nice rackful. Brian commented that he learned more about yellowtailing in one trip with SeaSquared than he had on his own in seven years of visiting the Keys.
