I had not given where exactly to go any thought. I was just planning on going to Key West and fishing there. You make a strong case for Islamorada though. I figured finding a boat would not be a problem. Thank you Ron that sounds like good advice!

Well it is almost time. Thanks for the advice now I have got to pull in the BIG fish! I doubt I'll do any freshwater fishing while I am down there though. There is enough of that up here! Looking forward to the bottom fishing though. I'll let you know how I do.

Saltwater Angler
The best place to go for fishing information and guides, etc. on the island is the Saltwater Angler. Great store. Great guides. They know everything. The owner, Jeff Cardenas, is very cool. Their phone numer is 305-294-3248. They are located down on the docks by the Hilton... just off Front Street.

The Saltwater Angler!
I agree with Toni. I buy a lot of clothes in this shop. The store is located at the back of the Hilton, where you check-in, right on the Hilton Marina boardwalk. If you pass the little Ice Cream shop, its right to left, if you are walking up the sidewalk path. Great reply Toni! :D

Jeff is a very nice guy and if you are into fly fishing that would be a place to look. They have some great salt water flys which look more like an art project then a piece of tackle. lol! They do have some other fishing guides that can do light tackle and some off shore but they are great for fly fishing.

Gary, to answer your first post marlin is usually caught in late all and early summer but sailfish are best in April and May and they are always a good fight. Tarpon and tuna are also good this time of year. Have fun!

Thanks grglnswsh! I'm hoping for the marlin then! But sailfish would be just fine.
What's this I hear about some "black water" near the Keys? I just caught a snippet of something about it on the news and haven't heard anything else. Does anyone know anything about that? |

There's an amazing picture on a NASA website that shows the extent of the black water over the past several months. The good news is that it appears to be breaking up into several smaller pockets... the water appears to have normal salinity and oxygen levels, but it does cause the fish to leave the area of black water... with any luck it'll disappear and fade into Keys folklore...

Well, the Florida Marine Research Institute is reporting that the "black water" is caused by a cousin of red tide. By all accounts it appears to be a natural phenomenon unrelated to pollution and, it seems to be non-toxic.
Read a report on it here. |
