Guides gotta fish sometime

Missouri River Outfitter and good shop friend Mike Kuhnert is visiting the sunny, albeit windy, Florida Keys and Mark for the next couple weeks. Let's hope the weather stays warm for his trip and he nuts up and catches a big Tarpon. We expect to see pictures! This is Mike's 2nd saltwater trip, with last years trip to the Bahama's, so no mistakes Mike. He'll be fishing with Capt. Scott and I'm sure Scott will see a couple meltdown moments. The bottom line is we want to hear if bonefish are more difficult than carp Mike. If you don't have success you will be in the proverbial dog house, just like the photo on the right. This is what we call affordable housing in the Keys, although looking at it closer...hmmm, could get a lot of reading done, the sun's out, it's water front, and looks like you could make a cast from the deck, never shovel snow..etc.
It's February and the shortest month of the year, also the slowest booking for a lot of outfitters...so some, the lucky one's hop a jet airplane and go flats fishing. Guides do gotta fish sometime!
