you guys got home from your Keys Klave, so where's the durn damn trip
reports?


Here's the short report (and you'll probably figure out why we haven't
posted TRs):

We got smoked.

And the slightly longer version:

We kayaked and waded all over the Keys. RW and I spent one day with the
guide we all met at Rock Crick. All of us together caught fewer fish than I
expected any one of us to catch in one day, and we didn't give up for 6
days. Well, since I was sick I puked most of the last day and only fished a
little.

We do know our way around the Keys a little though and we know where there
are beautiful hard bottom flats that you can wade in several places,
including a couple of really cool, more primitive looking flats that are
away from the highway a little. We paddled and waded to some really cool
places and saw some great stuff - turtles, rays, birds, sharks, baitfish,
etc. And I had a blast hanging out with RW, Willi, and Charlie Choc as
usual.

The fishing was really tough though and I need a lot more practice spotting
bonefish and the other spooky critters out there. And my pinpoint accuracy
at 65 feet in the wind leaves a bit to be desired also.
