I have a mounted sailfish (fiberglass mold) that needs to be touched up after being moved from S. Florida to Tallahassee and looking for any recommendations for any local shops or someone who might do this on the side.
Thanks in advance...

Seastrike,
I don't remember the name but there is a taxidermist in Thomasville who does excellent work. Don't know if he handle fish but he would know who does. His shop is right on the main drag going into Thomasville on the right. Someone on here will know the name I am sure. Another idea is to stop by Kevin's and ask them, Kevin will know for sure.

This time of year, he'll be backed up in a hurry. You might want to check in with him and see if you can slip something in now, otherwise it may be May or June before he can get to it.
