Now Entering- KEY LARGO
Mile Markers: 112- 91…sounds about right.

You just never know what you’re going to see swimming around in the Florida Keys.
This evening my neighbor (with my assistance), caught a 34-pound cobia–in our canal!

Bull sharks are not uncommon [...]

Last night I was attacked by the smallest alien in the universe. Wait, maybe “attacked” isn’t the right word. Last night I was visited by the smallest alien in the universe. There, that sounds slightly less fabricated.

Thanks to Captain Ty Price– who was nice enough to lend us his dinghy for the weekend– my wife and I were able to spend a couple of days on the water in the Florida Keys, exploring the islands and flats around Duck Key, home to Hawks Cay Resort.

Daytime swordfishing was rather new to all of us during our first few trips and though we did learn a lot, no actual fish were caught. We enticed a few hits, tore up some baits, and also acquainted [...]

We are on the brink of another Florida Keys lobster mini-season and US-1 is flooded with tourists trailering their bug-hunting vessels into town. Pretty soon the reef will be overtaken by dive flags and center-consoles, and the waters rich with enthusiastic divers and snorkelers searching holes and ledges for tasty tails.
