Our base-camp was Holiday Isle in Islamorada. It's a marina/resort that has been around forever and is well-known for the Rum Runner beverages, Tiki bar and sandbar. Where else would you find a big pink rat with a drink in its paws, but in the Keys?!? And big replicas of huge fish?? Only in the Keys!
While we didn't catch fish as big as those, we were very proud of the ones we did!
Frank had lots of helpers while he was cleaning the fish. In fact, we're convinced it was a gang of egrets! Two would stage a fight and a third one would sneak from behind and try to get to the fish. Pretty sneaky! Then the pelicans would float around right within the area where Frank pitched the stripped fish. Needless to say the annoying rats with wings (seagulls) flew around squawking waiting for any scrap they could scavenge.
Bob, Frank and Toby showing off the catch.
Bob kisses the fish for... good luck or thank you?? :o)
Frank celebrates the catch with a cold one!
