Back In The Keys!

Been very busy since getting back in the keys. Boat maintenance mostly.But I have gotten to do a little fishing.

Yesterday I fished with long time friend Rick Peper. We went out early and cast-netted live pilchards then headed out towards Conch Reef.

Rick has plenty of nice fishing tackle but I brought along a Permit Trek Diablo 550 combo, which was a much lighter rod than what was on the boat. We had a great morning, catching a double header of Sailfish and 2 fat Mahi-Mahi.

Rick loved the action of the Permit Trek.

I have been back in the keys for a week now and starting this Sunday will be fishing full time again. Its great to be fishing in the Florida Keys again with Fox Sport Fishing rods and reels.
