Oil spill…? What oil spill?
Graham Peacock and family didn’t seem to notice any oil as they reeled in this extra large dolphin, along with several normal size fish to complete a fun packed day of fishing aboard the charterboat “Mr. Z” out of the A and B Marina, Key West.
Don’t believe everything you read/hear on the Tele, as Graham would say 
Just when you thought no one was reading the blog or reminiscing about their fishing charter in Key West, you get something in the mail that makes it all worthwhile
Hi Captain Craig,
Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our time on the Mr. Z! We sent our friends a link to your blog the next night…..the most common response was: “you suck!” but we enjoyed rubbing it in a little bit! The mahi mahi was delicious and we cooked the rest of it on our last night in town. It was a great way to end our vacation.
I also want to thank you and Steve for helping me catch my very first fish! If (and I hope we do) come back to Key West, we will be back on the Mr Z.
Thanks again!
Katie
Thanks so much to Katie for her kind words… and for all of you worried about the big Oil Spill… Here’s how it has affected us… By making the local crop of Dolphin grow even bigger! So hurry up and get ya some!
Bill Rozzi and friends from Tampa, Florida didn’t pay much attention to all the hype about the oil ending up in the Florida Keys and spent three straight days filling boxes full of Dolphin. We figure it is just like hurricanes, this spill will give the media something to keep you glued to your TV set and not get out and actually live life… Go to Key West and catch a fish!
Yep, one more year has gone screaming by. I’m 48 now and there’s only one good reason. This one wonderful woman. A hard worker with a great sense of humor, sense of team, family, and loyalty. She is my reason for being. There’s no secret. No fancy wardrobe or body cream. Just the most sincere, honest person ever to have touched my soul. She is it for me. Mark my words. If you think I am doing a good job, there’s only one person to thank… my wife, Lisa.
No offense, but it just seems that the media does their damnedest to put us out of business. Whether it’s a Tropical Storm located 600 miles away going the wrong direction or an oil-slick almost 1,000 miles away moving away from us. If it’s sensational and has even the slightest chance of screwing up your vacation… it’s going to be headline news. It all boils down to “Keep watching our TV channel and WORRY!” What we need is a good Washington scandal to get the media out of our backyard :)
So, enough for my venting. Let’s see what we did the last couple of days. As I said before (be sure and scroll down the page and check out the past few entries… they reach back for 5 years now, look to the right hand side of the page!) Dolphin Season is on!
Katie and Josh Smith brought their friends and had a wonderful day on the cobalt blue waters of Key West, Florida. Bonitos, Barracudas, and Dolphin kept them busy as well as fed for several meals. As Katie Says,” they’ll be back!”
The day before, Rodger and Pam Wilson fished aboard the “Mr. Z” sportfishing boat out of Key West and even though they didn’t get as much action on other species, they had a better day on Dolphin with several teenagers (between 13 and 19 pounds), a couple of twenty pounders and several gaffers.
And Sam Rossman brought his bachelor party to Key West, Florida for the two things we are known for best… Partying and big fish!
And, last but not least, I finally bought the perfect guitar for my upcoming gig with Big and Rich and Cowboy Troy… A Gretsch White Falcon cowboy guitar! For me, it’s not always all about fishing In case you are a musician and wondering what the heck are those other guitars in the background, they are 12 string basses. Very rare. If you have an interest, go to www.12stringbass.net to learn more. Now, back to the fishing!
The moral of this entry is, if you don’t have a picture, it didn’t happen, and don’t believe everything you see on TV!
