Some buddies and myself are going down to the keys in a few weeks. This will be the first time down there to actually fish. We’ve taken the boat (20′ bowrider) down there before with the wives, but now the men get to go and do some fishing. We’ll be in Key Colony Beach just above Marathon. I have a gps with the needed charts, and just got a hot spots map for a little insight, but now I guess I’m looking to you for some actual knowledge. Like I said, we’ll have a 20′ bowrider for a boat. I have 2 heavy saltwater rods with 80 and 100 lb test, as well as several medium duty rods that basically hold 20 lb test. This is our first time saltwater fishing on our own. Can you give me some pointers, such as riggings techniques, tackle, and lures? If we can actually bring fish home with us, the wives will have no choice but to agree to let us go every year. Thanks, Dan
