The Eighth Annual Islamorada Chamber of Commerce Goes Backcountry extravaganza was highlighted by lots of fun and enjoyment by 40 anglers on 20 boats last Wednesday.

Fishing out of host locations Papa Joe's Restaurant and Marina, local business folks had the time of their lives plying the waters of Florida Bay. In the end, several anglers distinguished themselves from all the rest.

Village Councilman Frank Kulisky and Dave Cramer, who fished with Redbone Celebrity Tournament Series founder Capt. Gary Ellis and Regan Insurance executives Bob Regan and Joe Roth III, fishing with Capt. Robert Klein captured top honors.

On the Redbone skiff with Capt. Gary, the anglers caught redfish up to 10 pounds and numerous snoook and trout.
