Check back Friday for another Weekend Fishing Report and a Brand New feature - Fish Tales!
Reel Darlins have a Banner Day at Old Salt's Spring King of the Beach Tourney!
Over three hundred fish were weighed in at this years Spring King of the Beach Tournament held by the Old Salt's Fishing Club and when the dust (scales? slime?) had settled, the Reel Darlins were right near the tippy-top of the scoreboard in third place overall with a beautiful 35.54 pounder hauled in by Brittany List! It was a great day for Kingfishing with nice weather and a very active bite, and nearly every Darlin had a fish to weigh in. Perhaps more importantly everyone had a great day of fishing with her sister Darlins, several even claiming their best day of fishing ever! Special thanks go out to our sponsors Smokin J's Barbecue (you have to try their ribs - beyond amazing), DeLosas Pizza (one of the coolest places in John's Pass Village, also South Tampa and Largo), and Captains K.J. Wissing, Jesse James Mayer, Skyler Stevens, and Dan Tuskowski for putting us on the fish! Watch the video!
Post Card Inn Islamorada Grand Opening
The world famous Holiday Isle Resort in Islamorada was recently acquired by the Post Card Inn. They have polished up the place very nicely and invited the Reel Darlins to participate in the Grand Opening festivities. It was an evening that won't soon be forgotten, featuring fabulous culinary and cocktail creations, a "chillounge" area, Hydra Sports boat display, and varied entertainment ranging from a great band (the Spam All-Stars) to Polynesian fire dancers. All up and down the beach the party went on til late, and then dancing until the wee hours in the Tiki Bar. Next time you are in the Keys you need to check this place out!
SKA Key West Tournament
The Reel Darlins Tournament Team had a great two days of fishing out of Key West Harbor Marina at the Southern Kingfish Association's Key West season opener. Cyd even landed her very first king, a nice 26 pounder that put them well up on the board. Many thanks to Lee Murray of Murray Marine, Captains Jesse James and Dane Karcher, and our own Liz Lang without whom this event would not have been possible!
