Hurricane Restoration

Hurricane restoration efforts are still ongoing at Bahia Honda State Park. The day use beach is open and seaweed free, so we did get some beach time in.

Pilar on display at Worldwide Sportsman in Islamorada!

I really enjoyed checking out the replica of the Pilar on display at Worldwide Sportsman in Islamorada! This boat is actually considered the sister to Hemingway's Pilar that is on display at his Cuban home. I've really become interested in old, wooden powerboats lately, so I was glad to see this one has been so well preserved. Would you rather be in the fighting chair working over a world class billfish or at the helm, piloting the boat as Papa Hemingway lands the big one? I know which I'd choose!

Go-To Fly Shop in the Keys



Stopped in to check out Florida Keys Outfitters on Islamorada. A great little shop and the go-to in the Keys. Especially if you're after an IGFA record, everything in the shop is certified compliant I was told!

Bahia Honda Beach

Had a rough week for fishing in the Keys, but a great trip nonetheless. The beach and flats we planned to fish were over run with sargassum weed and stunk to high hell. We ended up driving to Bahia Honda just to enjoy the Gulf facing beach (along with everyone else in the area), but they didn't allow fishing. We just took in the scenery, enjoyed the history, a couple museums and a nature park, and ate some Key Lime Pie. More photos to follow!

Now Available The Suburban Angler shirts!

Running a bit of an experiment here! I've approved a limited run of The Suburban Angler logo t-shirts on Teespring. They've been requested a number of times, but I could never find a method I was comfortable with. If you like it visit teespring.com/the-suburban-angler to order. Post a picture of you wearing the shirt and tag @thesuburbanangler on social media and I'll send you a sticker pack to go with it! Thanks for your support!!
