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!
