first time to the keys (to fish) any one have any recomendations on guides/Charters/boat rentals - good party spots

Prop Blast

Decide what your priority is: fishing or social life. For fishing, decide if you want inshore or offshore.

If it's fishing, just about any key will work. At that time of year, the water has cooled a bit and the inshore and offshore fishing will be good. Your challenge will be timing your fishing between fronts. Fishing a few days before a front is generally good. Once the front hits and a couple of days after, the wind is howling and the fish shut down.

If it's social life, Key West is the preferred place. Frankly, the fishing is as good or better there too. Islamorada just isn't as develped as KW. That's not to say there's nothing to do at night, it's just more spread out.

Good luck,

PB

Lots to choose from. Offshore-reef, flats-backcountry, big boat, small boat, what are you looking for? Also, Islamorada has plenty of good places to eat and some hopping bars if you pick the right night.

The best party spot in Islamorada is probably Holiday Isle. They have an "infamous" Tiki bar and a party sand bar right outside of their marina. Lots of boats anchored up out there on any given weekend.
