John from Cromwell Court and his brother-law Rick fished with Captain Dave Perkins Friday and caught this snook near Flamingo.  They also caught trout and Sharks.

Captain Glenn Warrington and his daughter Lori were sitting in an undisclosed spot near Tavernier Creek fishing for snook when Lori spotted this monster lobster sitting along side their boat.  Glenn and Lori quickly grabbed some shrimp nets and managed to coax this big boy into one of the nets.
It is rumored that this lobster has been seen in that area before, coming up to boats begging like a dog for food. It was probably some one's pet. It is no more.

Eddie King and his grandson Jason fished with Captain Dave Perkins Sunday and caught 12 keeper trout including these two same size 20 inch ones.  Jason knows how to hold the fish to make it look bigger

Captain Gary Salyers from Westminster Court took 3rd place in the Redbone @ Large Captain Al Flutie Over The Hill Rip-Off SailfishTournament. Gary had 12 hookups and boated 4 Sailfish.

This how calm it was out there today.

Ray, Charlie and I went backcountry again today and caught a mess of trout.  Another beautiful day.

A GOOD DAY

My cousins Ray and Judy, and Pat and I took a ride out to the Tin Can Pass yesterday and caught over 50 trout, however only two were keepers.  It was a nice ride we saw a few flocks of spoonbills and we saw two bald eagles on the way back.  Last night we ventured out to the creek and caught about five dozen shrimp. That is not many but they were all big ones, maybe a ten count.

Creek Critters

John is holding a few of the large shrimp he caught last night.  He shrimped with Glen and Faust.

What Is That?

It looks like this halibut just ate another fish.

ALASKA TRIP

Scott and Phyllis took a trip to Alaska this past summer to do some fishing. Phyllis caught the big halibut that weighed in at 135 pounds. The other fish are ling cod.

Shrimp Catch

We got a lot of shrimp last night. Many real big ones for eating and of course many of them went in to my shrimp motel to use for bait.

Exercise The Keys Way

Scott, Phyllis and Pat got a workout last night shrimping in the creek.

Scott Reyburn holds up a few of the fish he and his wife Phyllis caught while fishing in Tavernier Creek Yesterday.

From The Past

This photo was taken about 5 years ago on Guy and Sue Leekey's dock.

This approximately 30 lbs and 30 inch long Jewfish was caught off the Leekey's dock by Mason Leekey.  Mason was very excited.  Also sorry that it was a catch and release but understands the rules.  He would like to thank the Keysmon as Mason said that the Keysmon was the person that taught him how to bait the rod.  He cut the pinfish's tail to make him bleed and then hooked him.  He hooked the grouper right away.  Sue Leekey

PERMIT

Captain Charley Best caught this fish a few days ago while fishing the backcountry with a few friends from Canada. It took Charley 30 minutes to land it.

31 INCH BONE

I caught this bonefish a view years ago near the little island on the ocean side of Tavernier Creek.  That area is now a no fishing zone.

HUGE MUTTON

Captain Dave Perkins is back in the Keys and doing a lot of fishing.  This snapper and a lot of other fish were caught by Dave and his clients off the Key Largo patch reefs.
