Fishing with my older brothers Tom Benbow and Charlie Fulmer. We first troled for Barracudas to use for shark bait in the back waters off Islamorada. 

  As seen in the photo we used light tackle. It was my first epic battle of my young life and I will never for get it. I most likely paved the way for my life's dream of being a Islamorada fishing guide. My brothers nick named me "

Islamorada Shark Bite

Islamorada fishing Report-Skins and Fins Charters.

  This past week has been a crazy one for the Captains that shark fish here in Islamorada. Fist my old buddy Capt Ronnie Brack had his arm broken while releasing a big shark. Then last night while Tarpon fishing my customers go a big shark to the boat. When it tried to get the hook out of the big shark it's tail came around with great force and smashed my elbow and forarm. I thought it was broke. Then the other day Capt Donnie Benbow had a spinner shark that he was releasing jump at him and shredded his fingers. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come!
