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.

Very true with the exception of your ability to catch Bonefish in ways
that are supposed to be impossible. Although incompetance surely played
a role, our lack of success wasn't due to a lack of effort.



And the slightly longer version:

We kayaked and waded all over the Keys.

Even though the lack of fish was disappointing, I had a good time and
had a number of new experiences.

Here's a cool Acrobat slide show of Bruce's big bonefish that Charley
made. LARGE file. Music included if you have the newest Acrobat.

Thanks for putting it on your site Willi. Also, I don't know if it was
mentioned that Bruiser broke his 9wt on the fish but you can see that
it is in the photos.

Wow! Way cool slide show. The Canned Heat for background music is a cool
touch.

Thanks,

Russell
Okay, everybody- "Going up the country . . ."

Boy. That ain't no trout stream, but it sure is some pretty country.

And the smile-fish-and-busted-rod picture is priceless.

Thanks for the pictures, tunes and trip reports boys.

Very nice, Willi, although I'd recommend Bruce NOT get reprints of photo #12. It
looks as though he caught an entirely different type of bone.

Bruce is too modest to mention that he was the only one to catch
bonefish -- two, in fact. One of them was a trophy fish of about 10 pounds.

No one has yet mentioned that Willi hooked a tarpon off the White St.
Pier in Key West at night, under the pier lights, and had it on for at
least two jumps. That was pretty awesome.

We went back the next night in a freshening wind :-) and saw nothing. So
it goes.

My most vivid memory of a fish was when we were hanging out in our
kayaks in the channel of the big muddy flat. A shark about as long as my
kayak, which I saw coming from about 100 yards away, turned for my fly
and my heart stopped a beat.

It jumped 3 times, and it was really cool. I'd guess maybe a 30-40#
fish. Willi sure had a big grin. g

That Tarpon was electrifying. We were all wondering what Willi would have
done if it hadn't come off after three jumps.
