A Record Setting Gag Grouper Catch
From Pensacola to the Florida Keys our Florida is a four season tropical wonderland enjoyed by tens of thousands every year. At the very heart of this Paradise on Earth is Madeira Beach and John's Pass. Fish Famous John's Pass is named after pirate and later Green Turtle merchant, John Levique. Levique traded Green Turtles for gold in New Orleans. In 1848 John Levique was caught in a Great Gale. He anchored in a safe harbor and after the Gale had passed found that Madeira Beach had been cut in half. John Levique was the first to sale through the new Pass that later was to be named John's Pass in his honor.
Today Madeira Beach still celebrates John Levique days by transforming John's Pass Village and Boardwalk into a giant event with streets filled with tents selling everything imaginable much of which is pirate themed.
Madeira Beach is a 'little' different today from what John Levique could ever imagine in his wildest dreams:
Madeira Beach has become a major tourist attraction the center of which is World Famous John's Pass Boardwalk:

Exploring the many wonders of Madeira Beach make us hungry, really hungry for Florida's best, freshest, seafood. Founded in 1978 the Friendly Fisherman Restaurant serves only the best seafood direct from the boat to the table:

Big Grouper like BIG-LIVELY Pinfish. Thanks to the Florida Fisherman ll's individual live wells they will have just that:
The Middle Ground's 20-30 foot ledges are home to the mighty Gag Grouper. This is what we will be looking for:

The Florida is honored to have a man-among-men on board. Mr. Larry Miller, a proud cancer survivor, is not only a very good fisherman, but a real old-school gentleman:
Go home with the Florida's huge fish boxes stuffed with Grouper & Snapper. Yes, Snapper!
