It is my goal to someday go down there and spend a week at the Rainbow Bend resort. with each room rental comes the free use of a 13' boston whaler. Check the place out for me if you get to Marathon.

The rainbow looks pretty cool. I love that part of the keys and I've been trying to talk myself into staying there one of these weekends

Dave, when I talked to them, you had to share the whaler with other vacationers, any you could only use it 4 hours a day. Tough on that side if wind is out of the easterly quadrants. Rainbow Bend is a great looking place, and they do have a gormet restaurant with only one sitting a night. Kool place.

If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!!

I agree late April would be better for the Tarpon. FIND A GUIDE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The good ones are booked months in advance for Tarpon season.

Good luck, you guys - man, am I jealous...I'm still hoping to get down to the Sanibel area but it looks like this may not be the year for us...

Hey, Jules, is it bucktail time yet? I need something to help me stay out of mischief over the winter if I'm gonna be stuck up here...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
