I've been lucky enough to fish with Capt Jimmy on his Cheerio in Marathon Florida this winter and the fishing and chop busting has been a blast.

Yesterday we caught a bunch of Spanish mackerel and blue fish for shark bait and then went on the hunt.

We caught 4 up to about 200lbs in a couple of hours.

Jimmy had the largest, sure beats shoveling snow LOL.

Caught them on a treval rod and torium reel with 60# braid and 80# leader, circle hooks and 18 inches of wire.

I love fishing on the Cheerio with Capt. Jimmy, either north or south. We always laugh, catch fish, and have a great time. Being on the Cheerio was the main reason for my purchasing a Parker, and I love it. Can't wait to go fishing out of the Manasquan River with him again, and having PBR waiting for us back at the dock. Catch 'em up, Capt. Jimmy, and don't let the sharks onboard till you put some shoes on...........Papa
