These two men are excellent fishermen I just could not find fish that would stay on the hooks we caught some Redfish but no keepers other than the pic . I hope on the return back to the island I can put them on several fish they can Keep…

Kelly was a great person to take fishing. Good conversations just all around great guy to know. Fishing was off and on had to hop around a lot to find the fish.
