Sea squared Charters, Marathon Hook, line and dinner for the Rohe clan! 8-25
The Rohe family, from Palos Heights IL, had a blast doing dinner and a show Florida Keys style!
Don and Tracy Rohe and their young girls, Meghan (10), Kaitlin (8) and Jillian (5), battled sharks and then caught mangrove snapper for dinner.
When Don booked this trip a few weeks ago, he wanted assurance they would catch sharks. After a couple of delays of game due to summer weather troubles, we got out today and they did just that!
What Don didn’t count on was the size of the sharks they caught! He had bargained for some five-footers, not the seven-foot bruisers we had today.
The first lemon we hooked and landed had a research tag in its dorsal fin. We think it was one we tagged about a year ago with Ph.D Student and Research Assistant, Austin Gallagher, to participate in his shark research with the RJ Dunlap Marine Conservation Program at the University of Miami Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS).
We went on to land three more lemons and a nurse shark before switching gears to do some mangrove snapper fishing.
Along with the mangroves, we caught a bunch of ladyfish. Good jumpers, very entertaining and excellent shark bait!

Sam and his buddies catch big sharks
Posted on August 18, 2011 by Editor
They just don’t see toothy critters like these back in the suburbs of Pittsburgh!
Sam Rodgers and his dad, Don, have fished with SeaSquared Charters many, many times. For this outing, Sam brought two of his buddies to the family’s vacation home in Florida Keys for some shark wrangling.
For some reason, we’ve been seeing some really large lemon sharks at our personal aquarium in Florida Bay. Today, they were all six and seven feet in length. These big ones don’t do a lot of acrobatics, but they sure do run fast and far!
The guys caught ten in all, each one giving a 15- to 20-minute fight, and some taking 250 yards of line on the first run.
One of the guys had never been on the ocean before, had only ever caught a bluegill and was deathly afraid of sharks. It was quite entertaining for all of us to watch him do battle with the sharks!
