 some tips
Here are some close spots, I got a boat & guide for 2 1/2 days and 3 on my own. Right at pelican Cove they have sm boats for rent(you can't go far) but you can catch jacks and see bones if you set up near some shallow water. There are Natl parks, the John pennekamp Coral Reef Natl park(Atlantic Side) and across from that is Tarpon Basin- on the Gulf side...that is towards Key Largo, maybe 20 minutes and is beautiful. That might be a good bet this time of year for a chance at a Tarpon and bones. Also, if you can do a guide when you first get there (try not to go if it is blowing to hard...hard to cast and hard to see, this time of year you get a Northerly prevailing wind), go to Bud & Mary's Marina www. budnmarys.com , they have a significant group of guides that can take you out.
Hope this helps, best of luck, I wish I was going too! cb |
