sounds like your ready for anything

It pays to be prepared. I trailered about 260 miles last weekend, then had a flat tire in the driveway the next afternoon? Glad it went down at home instead of on the roadside when it was 100*....and yes, I had the spare and tolls to change it out.

slot, that just means you had some good karma coming you way. i'll never complain about trouble in the driveway. had a friend that drove a fifthwheel rig from key west to the house in one day (750 miles), parked out front, went to bed. got up the next day to move it & broke a crankshaft in the motor..

Looking good and it's the perfect time of the year to go get some Dolphin (dorado) in the Florida Keys. Don't forget your polarized sunglasses. You all will have a great time! Were a you staying at?

[phatdaddy]

we're at Bahia Honda state park. we haven't stayed there in a while, so i need some fishing tips if anybody has any. last trip we stayed in big pine on dr's arm and the trip before that we were in Key Colony in Marathon.

i hope to get some tarpon under the 7 mile bridge or spanish channel. i have also heard there is a good grouper bite if you troll the bridges.

Phat, check out this link to the Miami Herald's fishing report on Thursdays. It includes the Keys and what the fishing captains are reporting. You may want to gear up for Dolphin and Tuna. Do you have any fishing charts for the area with numbers to artificial reefs?

Phat, here's a listing of the artificial reefs.

Are you staying in a cabin, tent or RV?
Also, a must stop and check it out: Islamorada World Wide Sportsman:

and by the way, the restaurant next to them, Islamorada Fish Co. is excellent!
Let me know if I can help/get you anything? I'm only a few miles from the turnpike and I can meet you at a stop.
