GENE MURPHY Andrea Murphy holds up a 25-inch and 24-inch grouper during her family reunion fishing trip.

The Gene “Dredger” Murphy family took the all-day fishing charter with Capt. Tony’s Fishing Adventures last Tuesday. We left the dock at 8 a.m. aboard Fish’n Xpress II. The weather was great, seas were calm, and the fish were biting. Even though the sharks were heavy, we still caught plenty of fish about 25 miles offshore.

A big thank you to Capt. Tony’s….we can’t wait to do it again!
