Fair warning: * The subject line mentions fishing, not catching. We've been down in the FL Keys now for over a week starting with 6 days docked in Key West while we waited out a spate of windy, rainy weather. * It was a good excuse to check out some of the various musical venues however and quaff a few margaritas. *It was song writers week and a bunch of fresh talent had been brought in from Nashville, some of it quite good. http://www.keywestsongwritersfestiva...tival_info.php Meanwhile we had a 6 ft tarpon living under our dock who stuck his nose out once in a while just to get my attention, and he had a whole bunch of cousins living just a bit further down the dock where the tourists hang out. * Since I have not yet had the pleasure of hooking up with a big tarpon, all of this is whetting my appetite for some serious fishing. * We are now anchored down in the mid Keys near the Little Palm Island Resort, a spot that had been recommended to me by one of the local charter captains. * I'm armed with 20 pounds of frozen mullet chum and 10 pounds of whole frozen Threadfin Herring. I spent the afternoon chumming and dangling the herring without any real luck, except for one massive breakoff by something not identified. * Sunset has come and gone with no luck but now the lights are on and I'm still chumming. * Fortunately the water is calm, the scenery good, and the television reception decent - all of which has so far averted a crew mutiny. Stay tuned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6XmTwMIxLA http://www.littlepalmisland.com/luxury-florida-resort-deals.aspx?gcli... Fair warning: The subject line mentions fishing, not catching. Something like that asswipe who fishes for endangered fish, like Sturgeon? |
