Took some friends from out of town on the Miss Islamorada party fishing boat at Budnmarys. When ever I come down to the Keys I always stay at Budnmarys they have the best service as well the cutest houseboats facing the ocean, clean facilities, and great customer service. Oh and their cafe has by far the best large homemade buttermilk biscuit breakfast sandwiches, plus they make a great sub for you to take on the boat with you. Oh and for you cat lovers out there be sure to swing by the office to meet Mary the friendly dockside cat. Well back to the fishing, I had some friends from Utah come down and they never fished the Atlantic before. This was my first time using them and definitely not the last. We caught a lot of yellowtail snapper along with my first keeper size mutton snapper. Between the wittiness of the Captain and Brad/Phillip (mates) assisting us every step of the way. Made our fishing that much better and easier. I will be back soon, heck maybe next week for my birthday.
