SUBJECT: Which of the Florida Keys to stay for a week?

Submitted by redsnapper101 (108.1.207.121) from TEXAS on

I am starting the planning phase for a trip to the Keys and I need to pick a Key to stay for the week.

I will have my own boat( 22 ft CC). We are looking to do some reef fishing, Maybe target some tarpon, maybe bounce outside to troll the ledges, and maybe do some snorkeling.

I am trying to use my fathers RCI points and trade for next year... Being from Texas, I am not sure which island would be best for fishing?

My options are ranked how I would rank them based on the facility below:
Marathon
Islamorada
Duck Key (pricy here)
Key West ... I think this looks like it would be crazy crowded and may be better for a day trip?

Let me know what you think about my rankings? Where you would stay?

Thanks
