Title: Things to do in Key West if elite fishing trip gets cancelled due to weather
Post by: CNS on February 14, 2013, 02:22:01 PM
Looks like I am going in April.  Flying in early Friday, fishing all day sat, flying back out late sunday.

Lets say that the fishing gets cancelled due to weather(have had this happen before elsewhere).  Assuming it's not raining, what should I do?   

Note: will not be laying on beach all day.  Looking for actual things to do.

TIA.

Deep sea/offshore.  Going out into the Gulf Stream on a 6 or 8 hour boat.  They fish pretty much everything fun that time of year.  Can't wait.

Cool.  We looked into something like that last November but didn't have the time.  Did an everglades boat ride instead.  I don't have any advice other than to have fun.

I really love flats fishing with a fly rod.  Would love to go on a successful deep sea charter (have been on an unsuccessful puke ride before).

Have been on several successful ones out of Balboa Island in CA.  Loved it.  I really enjoy the trip and being that far out on the water.  Fish are just a bonus.

I have heard great things bout the flats down there, but have never fly fished before.

If you think you are stud enough I'd plan on spending about every afternoon here:

http://www.theporchkw.com/

^ elite old house with craft beer bar and huge deck to sit on and watch the naked people across the street at the clothes optional place and also tons of traffic on the street to people watch. Also kenny chesney lives next door to it.

^ stud family who will take you in and make you feel like you are in their family while you smoke cigars and drink beer/wine and sit on their porch and watch the prostitutes across the street on their porch at the public protitute house thing.

Also eat brunch at Blue Heaven. It's super overrun with tourists but it really is awesome.

Stuff sounds great, but I am also looking more along the lines of activities type stuff.

if your fishing trip is cancelled for weather there aren't any other activities in key west that will be doable other than drinking on porches

the little whitehouse where truman dicked around. that's where i learned that he drank a bourbon-orange juice every morning for breakfast. dropping nuclear weapons will do that to a man.

you could try to book a back country/flats trip.  if none available, maybe look into renting a small boat  and fishing the bridges/cuts.
