Nice fish, glad you all caught some. Never a guarantee, but the guides do work hard. I will be in Marathon for my March Madness trip, fishing 3/16, 3/17 and 3/18. I hope the Cobia's start to show up by then (thye usually do). They are hungry, and mean and great fighters and you never want a green one in the boat. And they are GREAT EATING. Hope to share some pictures as well.

A great way to spend the winter is at least 1 trip to the Keys.

Nice van...cool fish. Looks like you enjoyed yourself.
I am headed to Turks and Caicos in April for a week. Not a hard core fishing trip but I am sure I will get out a few times. (Been there a few times before, great beach, great underwater vis, good food, resorts, and golf too)

I'm sure you will get some "quality" fishing time in.

I just got back and I'm jealous......I wanna go back NOW.
Be sure to take lots of pics to show off here.


I put a DVD together of our whole trip for my buds. Pics and videos. Lots of incriminating evidence too....

The capt sent me another pic yesterday....Cuda, Kings, Blackfin Tuna.

There are literally THOUSANDS of charter boats on the keys.

Islamorada was better for us than Marathon and we went on Blue Heaven.
They are at Robbies Marina (where people come feed the tarpon).
There are probably 20 boats out of there alone.

Best thing to do especially if you go alone or a small group is they have a white board with the boats that need more people. You just
go there and sign up. You can even do this the day before because there are so many boats available.

Mr. Sandman:

Keep in mind that if and when you do buy property in Florida or any other state you are only allowed to claim the "Homestead Act" in one state and that becomes your state of residence. Therefore you would only be able to legally vote in that state that you claim the Homestead Act.

Anybody owning and claiming the Homestead on two properties in two states could find themselves facing fraud and perjury charges.
