Ahhhhhh. The Florida Keys and Key West. Been quite a few years since I was down there. Would love to go back some day. I'm assuming you all did the Duval Crawl whilst you was there ?

 

Great report and pics CH. Can't imagine spending 45 mins to land a single fish.

off season... we all flew down, flights were 450 including tax round trip.

3 of the 4 guys caught the biggest fish of thier life ( I would of but I fell asleep!)

 

 

Jamie drop me a pm.......I'd like to know what roughly the total cost of the trip is. I think i would probably drive though i love to drive and its a good excuse to put in some sight seeing also. :D

Awesome report! Great memories from Key West, got engaged down there. Gotta love the main strip with all sorts cool different people mixing together. Didn't see one drunken bar fight. Had a great time at Fat Tuesday's and Jimmy Buffet does make one hell of a cheese burger. Thanks for the report Jamie.

 

Cheers,
