Seven Mile Grill Changing Owners

The Seven Mile Grill is changing hands.  Bill and Shirley Scott fell like retiring so they are.  For a few days the grill will be closed while the paperwork is finished.

Whenever an Iconic Marathon dining establishment changes hands rumors run rampant.  Kinda fun to listen to the peanut gallery guess what's happening.  What is really happening is a business transaction which is a lot like selling a boat, the second best day for the sellers and the first best day for the buyers.

Anyway, I am stocked up on hot sauce and malt vinegar for the next twenty years as the food inventory has to be reduced to simplify the closing.

The new owners will be moving in soon so we can find out who has jobs and who has to look for jobs.  I imagine Michele will be returning to work.  Fonzy is thinking about a change.  I may have to start paying for coffee :)  Time will tell.

Marathon in the Florida Keys should be your next fishing vacation destination. Join us for charter fishing, fishing guide trips or our fishing 101 so you can fish on your own with better success.

Tight lines,
Capt. Dallas

Pretty Day Pretty Bad Pictures


That was supposed to be a fantastic picture of a school of yellow tail snapper nearly eating out of the chum bag.  It is instead a crappy picture of glare off the starboard engine cowling.  Another picture of Mr. C showing off one of the 'Tails he caught got messed up in the editing process.

It did turn out clear enough that Mr. C can prove that he did catch fish.

The 'Tails where leagal but on the smallish size for this fishing 101 trip.  In fac there were so many 'tails every where we went that we only managed on mangrove snapper in spite of seeing them on most of the spots.


Anywho, Mr. C has fish for dinner and we have a little extra stuff to put on the get ready to fish list since we both forgot our cast nets for the ballyhoo that were everywhere.  It was a beautiful day on the water and Mr. C seemed pretty happy.

If you can break away from the grind plan on a little fishing in the Florida Keys. Join us for charter fishing, fishing guide trips or our fishing 101 so you can fish on your own with better success.

Oh, if you do, remind me to clean the lens once and a while.
