Key West

[DaveMac]

I would check at the Navy Hotel, they must have retired servicemen that will offer you a better deal. Think about the total price that you have invested for the vacation and then decide how much more is acceptable for that perfect vacation. Key West is a great place, so make sure you take part in the night life and wonderful restaurants

Have done much fishing in that area. Key West is too tough when much better fishing is available if you go up to Marathon, Islamorada or Duck key. There are jack cravelle, snapper, mackerel and pompano right off of the highway across from the entrance to Hawk's Cay at Duck key. Several pull over spots allow for parking on the Atlantic side but I would fish on the Gulf side. Clousers are the first choice. Use ones with lots of flash. Don't be afraid to spray on some attractant.

We just got back from Key West. It was my first trip there, and I did find fish....everywhere! We found tarpon at all the docks. They're attracted to scraps that fall from the fishing charter boats. It's interesting to note that most tourists miss out on a 8 ft tarpon swimming directly underneath their nose because (1) they are looking outwards towards the beautiful horizon, and (2) they don't fish...Lol.

I snorkeled the beaches too, and whereever there is a coral/reef there are fish. Cudas also lay in wait within a stone throw of the roads, but they blend in so well and lay so still that it takes a few minutes to spot them...again you have to be patient, and very observent. I also found bonefish cruising about the manitee area (Double Tree Hotel side of the Key), spotted them directly from the roadside park.

It's illegal to fish from the Docks, and I'm not sure about the beaches. I was not allowed to bring fishing gear on this family vacation
