Well in running our Fishing Holidays in the Florida Keys now for over 12 years \u00a02015 has been one of the toughest years ever nothing to do with the fishing which has been of the charts and seems to get better every years but on a personal level. \u00a0This year as many of you already know I have had not one but three heart attacks but the good news all now under control with medication and will see about a heart opp in the middle of next year. \u00a0I have been more than lucky to find and get the help of Capt Mike Sovay who has become my right hand \u00a0( \u00a0and arm and leg \u00a0) \u00a0man and is settling in to far better than I could have ever hoped doing all I can no longer do with ease thanks. \u00a0So back to the review of the year part one B. F. H \u00a0( \u00a0before heart attacks ) \u00a0stunning start to the year the wrecks in the bay alive with cobia and for the first year a mass of African pompano which were taking everything from small jigs to lures and live baits and more than once has us thinking what the hell is that till we could see the large silver sides as the give away. \u00a0Also at the start of the year far more bigger sharks than ever before and big over 400 lb bulls in the bay and around the bridges having to throw the anchor and chase many times. \u00a0Big kings around the wrecks as well their first run just goes on and on and of course our friends the goliath grouper stopping a near 500 lb fish getting back to cover a feat done by many anglers.<\/p>\n

It is always fun waiting for the first tarpon which as normal came in March this year the first of the new tarpon regs and all fish over 40 in having to stay in the water so no more slime on the lap photos but that is what the boffins say. Over the years we have taken hundreds of photos but this year one very cool one of a tarpon in full flight a first and I have never seen one like it. \u00a0Also with the tarpon but a bit later the permit spawn and yet an other fantastic take of fish one of the hardest fighting fish that take just feet from the surface then on the first run straight down to over 100 ft deep and often more than once. \u00a0Also a good run of near 30 lb permit on new wrecks in the bay this can be true sight casting as good as it gets.<\/p>\n
