Florida Keys Fishing

The Florida Keys are known for Great Sport Fishing which makes it a prime fishing vacation destination.  The Florida Keys is a string of about 1700 islands on the Southern end of Florida.  The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the west.  More than 95 percent of the Florida Keys land area lies in Monroe County, but a small portion extends northeast into Miami-Dade County.  The Florida Keys have the only live coral reefs in the contiguous 48 states. The Keys are a picturesque series of rocky islands thrown like a string of pears between land's end and Key West, each of them ringed by shallow grass flats, mangroves, and finger channels.
