Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fly Fishing the Florida Keys

Forget going all the way down to the keys if just for fishing, you will be in prime territory around both the Tampa and West Palm Beach area. You have Jupiter, Stuart, and Ft Pierce all withing  45 minutes. Stuart's Flounder population is up, my dad caught one last week just outside the inlet, my brother pulled in a great redfish and then there is all the snappers and spanish mackeral. Then in Tampa you can go for the tarpon, reds and much more.

 

Key West is worth the vacation but if you are short on time and are in the area you can get more fishing in without the travel.

Hi  - I just found and read this thread because I am going down to FL last week of this month and have some projects to be done in Tampa, Orlando and West Palm Beach. I thought I would take extra one day to Key West for bonefish and tarpon. It looks like that I would stop at Bahia Honda State park (Rob and Bobdrinks mentioned it) and Card Sound Bridge. Yeah I will bring fold kayak with me. I also will stop by Tampa for 1 or 2 days - hope find free time for redfish and sea trout in Old Tampa  Bay. I have bass/pike line 8 wt - is it ok? Do I have to get sink or float line for salt water? The pattern would be crab, shrimp ( I have 2" long - good?), and half/half or clouser (5 to 6")

I don't see Tom's report - it has been a year. 

If anyone can throw more information, it would be helpful - Thanks.

Richard
