Wedsday night that is!!

Anyone have any info on this type of fishing?? My first time to the Keys!

I will have at least another day to mess around there as well, any food, clubs, or must sees while I am there?

Thanks guys!

When in Key West if you drop anything kick it to Miami before you bend over and pick it up...

Have a great time. I was down there the first 3 weeks of Jan. Coldest on record. You're in for a treat.

Bring a sweatshirt on the boat. You may need it if a front comes through.

Enjoy!!

Sloppy Joes -happy hour and blocking all traffic on Duval street. Great fishing and super refreshments!!

[ThomCat]

Sloppy Joe's is great, great atmosphere, great music, great drinks and some big-ass marlin on the walls. Hog's Breath ain't bad either. In the shops, don't buy anything for the first price you hear. Beat 'em down. Mallory Square at sunset, "we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto" Oh, yeah, the fishin's pretty not to bad when you get to it.

Long way to go to "pound sand up your ass" but hey....gotta do what you gotta do! BigBo will be pleased!

Have a great trip Joe!

Your going to need good wet gear and a wind-proof jacket also. And lots of sunscreen.

Mutton snapper will be some good eatin! Key weird can be a lot of fun. Get key wasted! Get some stone crab if you can find it.

Thanks

if you get a chance, barracuda on light tackle on the flats, best fishing experience IMHO there is

I was on the 2 day trip over the weekend. Fishing was a slow pick--I ended with 5 muttons, a 20lb king, and a pile of yellowtails/mangroves. Be sure to bring a couple of stinger king rigs since there were some nice ones around cutting yellowtails in half as they were brought to the surface.

Have fun!

-Willy.

[macojoe]

Thanks Willy!

I can't wait!! How was the weather for you?? I hear the lows at night are 60's days high 70's??

[Willy G.]

Yep that sounds about right...long sleeve t-shirt at night, short-sleeves during the day. Weather was beautiful, except a little puffy at the beginning and end of the trip.

[EarnedStripes44]

yea, enjoy that grilled mutton snapper....

[keeperreaper]

Macojoe,

To bring the fish back just put in a cooler with frozen little chickens as ice. They stay frozen for a long time, keep the fish cold and is legal.
thats how a lot of boys bring their tuna home from LA.

[macojoe]

Thats perfect Keeper!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
