Bonefishing Islamorada

Captain Donnie Benbow went 7 for 9 bonefishing this afternoon. All 7 of them he caught while poling his hellbay from the tower. It is hard enough to catch them from the front of the boat but from the poling tower is just as hard as it gets.

Rafting to Freedom-Cuba to Florida Keys

This morning on my guides fishing charters to the Everglades National Park I found this home made boat made of foam, rebarb and plastic bag. Can you imagine the poor soles that braved the Atlantic from Cuba to the Florida straights just to get a taste of freedom!!

Hurricane ERIKA heading to Florida

With Hurricane ERIKA heading to Florida the fishing in the Florida keys has picked up the last few day. The only problem is the TV stations have scared off of the customers! I remember 10 years ago the powers to be chased everyone out of Islamorada and the rest of the Florida keys when hurricane IVAN was in its way. And guess what, it never came close, but business stunk for the next 3 weeks. Weather forecasters would never make it as fishing guides, because we have to produce.
