Boat Bass Fishing
Is a 18' bass boat any good for fishing around Key Largo?
I'm going to rent a house with dock on a canal for the month of Feb. and was wondering if there would be any use of bringing my boat. I would like to do some fishing and pleasure boating with my wife. Are there many places to stop when out boating to have lunch or maybe a cold refreshment. Any recommendations would be appreciated.Thanks
If you don't venture TOO far away and don't care if your freshwater boat is used in a saltwater environment.
Go for it!
Just remember, be aware of sand bars and channels in the area. I'veee accidentally hit some sand bars in that area going full-throttle and it wasn't a fun experience!
And, if I were you, I'd not venture too far into Florida Bay unless you have a GPS, (and a back-up GPS). If you don't know the region you WILL get lost.
Make sure to spray down your trailer, boat, and truck after EVERY USE. It only takes a couple 3 days in hard saltwater for your motor and trailer to show signs of corrosion. ESP FLUSH your MOTOR!
I've had Freshwater Bassin' friends go on Saltwater adventures and "blow-off" flushing their motors.....needless to say their Motors were in the shop shortly after returning from their trips.
To be honest, depending on how NICE your 18FT Bass Boat is, I'd forgo even bringing it. If you have enough money to rent a house in Key Largo for a month you've probably got enough to rent a small boat! (lol)
I'll bet you could get a cheapy skiff rented for $50-$70 a day, (esp if your willing to rent it for 25-30 days!).
Hope this helps ya? Good luck & don't catch all the Snapper!
PS- Yes, it helps tremendously to have a boat when you want to catch fish. Your "best bet" for fishing?
Anchor near your first deep drop-off that has a definite tidal influence and chum-up some Mangrove Snapper and Yellow-tail. Go to World Wide Sportsman in Islamorada for further info on how, what, and where to catch local, tasty fish.
Good luck!
