"The Redfishing right now is the best it's ever been since I first dropped a line in Franklin County!" remarked Capt. Chris Robinson, enthusiastically. Chris has been fishing this area professionally for over 15 years, and with his dad & brother before that. He says that his anglers are catching not only good legal sized Reds but also the big boys as well. The weather has been fine, there are more white shrimp in the bay than in past years and the conditions have been extremely favorable. "The heck with the Keys - this is my favorite time of year for fishing!" That also holds true for the speckled trout catches.
Capt. Tommy Holland swears he could have caught 150 lbs of shrimp in his bait net the other day, if it wouldn't have torn it up. Running your boat through the shrimp causes them to "shower" about 50 feet to either side. Guides & Anglers are all smiling these days. Nobody has said exactly why all is well on the fishing front - maybe it's the early cool down we had or possibly it's the natural cycle of things. Or could it be that we were just due for some good fishing!?
Robinson Real Estate Company now has a branch office in downtown Key West- just off Duval Street behind Fast Buck Freddy's. Joan Kelley will be in charge of things here for us. She is uniquely qualified to be a "Robinson" due to her love of fishing, her long history with marina's plus she is totally plugged into the Real Estate market in the lower Keys. Our RREC website should be updated any day to reflect the change, but if you would like to get in touch with Joan, just reply to this email, or contact her directly.(see below)
In case you were wondering what happened to my usual fishing photo, for some reason it wouldn't upload (darn windows explorer) so you'll have to go to the Robinson Brothers Website to check it out. Note: Look for an email from me in the next week or so if you regularly fish with us in Apalach or the Keys with a reminder of your dates in 2011.
See you at the Seafood Festival the first weekend in November - I'll be in the Humane Society booth.
