1987 - Michael Kandrashoff's fishing boat at Watson Island

Watson Island, Miami, Florida


Thank you to Michael Kandrashoff for contributing this old image of his fishing boat. Michael says: "My fishing boat. This boat was more than a foot smaller than the whaler out here now. Customers would wait in line for me to get back to the dock with my fish/crabs. I would call in using a marine radio since cell phones didn't exist then."

"I did insane things with it, never had an accident (why you shouldn't worry about going on a boat with me). I never had an accident even though I would go out into the ocean at night, filled it with fish, pulled lobster traps in the ship channel with cruise ships passing, have 6 foot eels in it (loose) and even drag net fulls of fish 4 miles back to the dock."

"No one else had my business at that marina. The red boat in the picture was another guy that attempted to copy me, but was too stupid to do so. That boat kept sinking at the dock too. A good pic of the "Reward" here too."
