Family fishing over the holidays

December 26 thur January 4th is the busiest week of the year here in the Florida Keys. Families from all over get to spend quality time together. I had the pleasure of reuniting with many fishing friends I've made over the years. Its been wonderful to watch the kids grow up to become young adults and to see all of them enjoying my favorite pastime.  Fishing!!!

We used Fox Sport Fishing rods and reels relentlessly over the holidays to catch a lot of everthing. The weather has been unseasonably warm so even a few Tarpon are in the mix. I have to say the Fox Diablo spinning reels caught all these fish and continue to be the toughest,problem free spinning reel on the market. Here are some pictures of my angling friends from the holiday  period.

If you have any interest in getting your own Diablo spinning reels please email me. skipcyd@bellsouth.net

Thanks and Happy New Year
