A good place to camp in the Keys is Long Key SP - nice wadeable flats
right in the park. I caught a 5# bonefish there in April but no luck
last week - I'm going back in May next year.

I'm putting a photo of the one successful fisherman I saw last week on
ABPF.

Thanks everyone, and I forgot to thank RW, who always agrees to put pictures
up on his website for me.

The rod has a guarantee and I've already sent it back. It's a TFO and it
broke between the legs of one of the guides. It seems like I got my nail
knot up into the guides and when I was trying to take the photos I broke the
rod. On the way home we got to stop at the Bass Pro Shop in Ft L, and I
bought an "old model" 4 piece TFO 8 weight for $80! Then I took Heidi to
the world's largest outlet mall and since my license was still good
(coincidence?) I went down and spent a couple hours casting into those big
canals, looking for snook. Alas, I didn't find a snook but I did see a
little gator and a big carp and the 8 wt. is very smooth and strong.

If we ever try to swing a sal****er clave it'd be a great place and we could
rent Kayaks from Jason each day.

uh, wally, as your personal beer valet and legal advisor... do not, i
repeat, do not ever let marie know you wrote the above. in my brief
associations with lovely marie, i learned quite well her heart's dream
to relocate or return the two of you to that miserably flat place
populated by yanks and canucks. i suspect she'd sacrifice you to a
"shack" briefly if she could get the two of you back to florida, but
you'd soon find yourselves in a proper florida subdivision near all the
amenities of civilized life... in short, you'd be fukked my friend, and
we'd more than miss you.. g

Thanks Jeff and Chas.

Chas, I went (trout) fishing for the first time since the SJ and to my
Horror discovered that yes, I still have one of your radios.

please send your snail mail address to me again at

n i n e f o o t f i v e w e i g h t at yahoo dot com

and I'll get it in the mail right away. Sorry about that. I'm sure you
could have been using it skiing, etc.

I don't claim to have any skill at all and certainly not in sal****er. It's
nice to be at the stage where you're still easily amused and sal****er
flyfishing is just out of this world.


Sounds like you had a great time!

Very cool looking fish.

Was it your fault or the rod's that it broke?

I made my own leader - 30" or so each of 30lb and 20lb mono, then an
Albright knot (very cool knot) with a braided wire tippet about 10" long so
I could change flies.

To answer your question, it was my fault. The rod broke around the time I
was landing the fish and taking a quick picture. I think my nail knot was
at the last snake guide (ouch) with the rod bent. Learned a lesson. It was
fun though.

What lesson did you learn?
