....which of course stands for lobster. We're getting ready to head to the Florida keys, namely Long Key for the upcoming lobster season. We usually like to
camp at the State park, mainly because it's cheaper, you have a waterfront view with your boat parked in front of your spot and it's quiet. A great vacation spot.
There's a limit on your bag take per day per person and also how you catch them. They're very strict about the rules and you can get up to a $1500 fine for an undersized bug, so get all your information before you go. The best place is the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Also you need to pick up a fishing liscence and get the lobster sticker. You can get these are KMart or Walmart usually.
There are tons of places to stay from fancy to rustic. For entertainment you can head south to Marathon or north to Islamorada. For some fine dining you can visit Pierre's. Ask for Cindy. For simple fare you can try the Island Fish Company. The food is excellent in the keys, along with the fishing, diving and everything "water".
Enjoy your vacation, we will!!
