There is no need to head to Key West, as southwest Florida has a boating oasis which is just as good...Yes, it is the the wonderful water that surrounds Pine Island. So if you are looking to catch some tarpon, bonefish, or a big hammerhead shark, then you have found the spot. Just watch the fishing shows on TV during the weekends, as a big majority feature Pine Island's and its rich fishing heritage.
