Loran coordinates fuel Destin rodeo lure for Kelly Windes
Kelly Windes, a 6 foot 3 inch, 200 pound fisherman in Destin, keeps a pocket notebook of Loran A and C coordinates for Gulf wrecks and fishing grounds. He books 12 to 15 wrecks a day with his Gentry-Sauer boat Sunrise and Furuno Chromoscope fathometer, drawing top clients to the annual rodeo prize. Windes distributes spots to avoid clustering and credits technology with boosting fishing success.
