Try not to watch this with too much of a jealous attitude. Billy Allen and Harry Warren are in Key West, the sport fishing capital of the world, catching tarpon.

Scottish international boat angler Steve Souter joins his good friend Davy Holt for a days giant skate fishing. They are on board the Laura Dawn skippered by Ronnie Campbell. According to Steve, Davy is the best skate angler in the UK and Ronnie is the best charter boat skipper around so how can he go wrong? The answer is he can’t and they don’t. Giant skate are real monsters of the deep and it isn’t easy to land them once hooked. Try to imagine pulling 200lbs through 500 feet of water. That’s what Steve and Davy have to do. It can be back breaking stuff but very rewarding.
I had a great day fly fishing and landed Pollack to 6 lb. The next day we took the Video Camera. Steve who works with me had not fly fished for 20 years. The wind dropped the Sun came out we burned our noses and the fishing was pretty shoddy. It was great to share the day with Steve and watch him land his first Bass on fly . Happy Days!
