All year long the 50+ staff at Reef Tropical take care of our customer's pools and landscaping. Our customers are draw to Ocean Reef and the Keys to primarily fish and golf. In June, with most of our customers gone for the season, the Ocean Reef Chamber of Commerce sponsors a Dolphin and Golf Tournament. Last Saturday, June 5th was the 4th annual Ocean Reef Chamber of Commerce Golf and Dolphin Fishing Tournament. Approximately 50 anglers on 10 boats and 45 golfers enjoyed what the Florida Keys and Ocean Reef is famous for. Eight lucky employees from Reef Tropical participated. After the fishing and golf all participants met at the Fishing Village for a late lunch/early dinner to exchange golf and fishing stories. It was a perfect summer afternoon with 2-3 foot seas and chance of rain that never showed.
The fishing torment land several hundred Dolphin. The top three fish were entered for weigh in and 46 LBS total took home the trophy. But the prize was not the Dolphin on this day.
Attached is a very lucky, very rare white marlin landed by Kevin Starling, Reef Tropical Pool Mechanic / Angler and Ed Katz, Captain. It was aboard the 35' Contender "Land Shark" owned by Sam Persaud. The Fish won in the Most unusual category award. I am sure the top boat with Dolphin would trade us in a minute.
It was a good day to be a Reef Tropical employee.
