Spanish Fly/ESPN show schedule new season
Santa will have come and gone, but then just before the clock strikes in the New Year of 2009, Spanish Fly with host Capt Jose Wejebe will air its first show of the new season. The shows start airing on December 28th, 2008. Capt. Jose Wejebe, drives home the point that fishing and the saltwater world is an adventure whether it’s in your back yard or some far-off place. His travels this season are places close to home such as Key West and Cape Canaveral, and others are literally half way around the world in Africa. “We’ve been to some interesting spots and met some great people in the process, hopefully you’ll get to go there and get to know some of these people and places as well, even if it is vicariously through the tube.” Capt. Jose says. Enjoy this season of Spanish Fly!
