Key Largo Adventures

About the Book

A lifelong fisherman, author Harry “Mick” Grigsby and his wife, Betty, had dreamed of running a fishing resort. That dream became a reality when they purchased the Flamingo Fishing Lodge in Key Largo, Florida, moving from Ohio in 1962. During the next forty-plus years, he guided fishing customers on the Atlantic Ocean and in the backwaters of the Everglades National Park before sections became off limits. In this memoir, Grigsby narrates an array of adventures as he helped customers from all over the world snag their elusive catches. Key Largo Adventures details his favorite fishing haunts, humorous anecdotes involving his friends and family, the ravages of the weather, and escapades at the local Caribbean Bar. With photos included, Key Largo Adventures provides a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a fishing charter operator who dedicated more than forty years of his life sharing his passion for angling with others.
