Jose Wejebe, well-known fisherman and host of the popular television show Spanish Fly, was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1958. He and his family fled Castro's revolution and moved to Miami, where Jose cut his teeth and learned to fish. His first dive with fins and a snorkel was a life-changing experience that marked the beginning of Jose's marine-based career and life. His travels and passion for learning new fishing and rigging techniques took him all over the world where he learned new and non-traditional methods. Jose took this knowledge back to the Florida Keys and shared it with his charter clients and leaders among the fishing industry. Building relationships with trade leaders such as Shimano, Mercury and other boat companies, Jose was an integral part in the development of the booming light-tackle industry. Spanish Fly first aired in 1995. Filled with underwater footage, spectacular cinematography, complimentary editing and Jose's signature on-screen style, the show shot to the top of the ratings. The show continues its successful run, currently airing on the Outdoor Channel. Jose continues to explore unchartered fishing grounds and expand his knowledge for local fishing techniques. While residing in the Florida Keys, Jose keeps busy working on several upcoming projects and responding to his growing number of Facebook fans.
