Spanish Fly Shark Tournament

For Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing owner Mark "Sharky," the Spanish Fly Tournament isn't just another competition—it's deeply personal. Mark and Captain Jose Wejebe shared a genuine friendship built on their mutual passion for shark fishing and the waters around Key West.

Over the years, they spent countless hours discussing techniques, sharing stories, and debating the best approaches to landing trophy sharks. Jose's expertise and his dedication to ethical fishing practices left a lasting impression on Mark and influenced how we operate our charters to this day.

When Jose passed away in 2012, the fishing community lost a legend. But through the Spanish Fly Tournament and the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation, his spirit lives on. For Mark, competing in this tournament each year is a way to honor his friend's memory, keep his legacy alive, and share the excitement of shark fishing with a new generation of anglers.

Not many charter operators can claim a personal connection to the man this tournament honors. When you fish with us during Spanish Fly, you're not just booking a boat—you're becoming part of a tradition that runs deep in Key West fishing history.
