Vacation suggestions

I'm looking for some suggestions on where I should go on vacation. I'm fairly flexible timewise, but most likely will go in March.

Here are some criteria I would like:

1) Fishing. I would like to do both inshore and offshore
2) Nightlife. I've been listening to a lot of Jimmy Buffet lately and I find myself thirsty for rum punch, daquiris, etc. Not crazy but fun.
3) Affordable. I know it's not going to be cheap, but I don't want to break the bank either.

I was thinking of Bud n' Mary's in the Keys. Anyone have any experience there? Any other reccomendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Charlie

Not sure how soon the stripers come to Jersey, and if there are any other fish besides toadfish and catfish there, but the Cape May area is rather nice. Best wings EVER at the C view. Better than Hooters, and that's including taste and entertainment in their wings.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Key West without a doubt. Has the fishing and nightlife. Great charter captains out of Stock Island (don't do charterboat row). You can also always shoot up to Islamorada for some of the best flats and backcountry fishing around. More bars per square mile than South Boston.

Key West is OK.A little overated IMO.Do one of the other Keys.

There's also plenty to do almost everywhere in mainland FLA.Hell for that matter Tybee Isle in Georgia or even Myrtle Beach if your main focus is fishing.The Texas coast ain't to shabby for fishing that time of year.Just remember in March if you going somewhere warm so are the
spring-breakers'.

Can't offer any advice outside the US except for Panama and at the time I was participating in an invasion so no real advice there either.

Hawaii, The isalnd not the state. stay on the Kona side. Royla Kona and King Kamehameha are affordable. + or - $100 a day with car. Fish ofshore or off the beaches, good fishing either way. Lots of fun things to do at night as well.
