Hope your all keeping up with Henry Gilbeys blog talk about the Florida Keys being on fire and at last managed to get a dorado for Henry and not trolling. Back to last week and Lee Jaspers fishing holiday, Lee has been very lucky in the Florida Keys and some amazing PB’S with us and…
Firstly Henry Gilbey is back here again and this time he has brought some serious lure anglers to let me see what can be done on those little red rods and the beating one took on a 80+ shark yesterday left me cold awesome. To find out how Henry and friends are doing he is…
The one thing about this blog it can change what we do I think for the better. For the last few weeks we have been have great fun with the amberjacks on a wreck in 200ft offshore and as this is a good start point for trolling we seem to start here now. Last week…
