Why I need to be out fishing in Key West

In conversation with a dear (and I dare not mention the years) friend , it was forcefully brought to my attention that everybody and their cat had their picture on my site. She also believed that since she was one of the early explorers of Cuba , and that the reason her picture had not been posted then was because she was taking the pictures. She should be recognized with her big Dolphin that she caught right before she caught her first Key West Sailfish.

So here you go Kay: “featured angler of the day”. Nice Dolphin too.

Big Key West Sailfish

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

When you are young playing with kites you never would guess that the skills to catch large wary Sailfish are being perfected. This 7 & 1/2 foot beauty was caught (with a huge fight ) by dangling live bait from a kite over the fish’s head. There is nothing like the close up view of the bite when the bait is stuck on the surface 20 feet behind the boat. Huge Sailfish tournament this week and if this fish is any indication the action will be red hot.
