Thanks for the advice. Headed down the second week of April for my first Keys trip.

Enjoy! Let us know if you need any advice while down here.

You bet!

That speedmaster 25 is a great reel. I have several of those and have had zero issues with them.

Good video Mark. We tried to rent gear in May and found it a bit difficult. We visited a local tackle shop on Marathon and they were very helpful. We purchased a couple of spinner setups similar to what you have shown here and they shipped them home when our vacation was over. We use them for catfishing here in MI.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Thank Bill, the local tackle shops are generally pretty good. We like "The Tackle Box" in Marathon.

[@mickemike2148]

I've been taught that fishing in the Keys is all about catching big fish on light tackle and oh boy, some of those fish has been close to killing me! Large amberjacks! Man, those are real fighters!

[@jmd8693]

Useful all-around info, thanks!

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FrankLadd]

Wow that is a lot heavier gear than I've ever used in the keys since braid became available. I've been using 4000 or 4500 size reels with 300 yards of 20 pound braid and 10-60 mono leaders. But I wade fish or kayak fish. Lots of Tarpon and sharks have been caught on outfits like that and it will still work on the flats for wade fishing.

[@jimmoore7725]

Good information. I sure could go for some fresh snapper! Thanks.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

We love some good snapper! Thanks for watching!

[@billbaber6653]

Thanks good class.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

You are welcome!

[@jamesdempsey8811]

Thank You Sir

[@GablesOnTheGo]

You are welcome!

[@SkipPriest687]

The last time when i was fishing in Florida 🌴 South i caught a Hogfish and it was thin and cooks quickly, it will marry and enhance any flavor you introduce to it like lemon, tomatoes, and basil all work well with the top dog

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Sounds great!

[@PropNut]

👍👍 I love baitrunners

When I take my bay boat down to Marathon from NC each Spring, I take 2 Penn 6500's, 2 Daiwa BG 6500 on Ugly stick jigging rods and a Shimano Stradic 2500. I only take the (4) 6500's in case a shark destroys one. Typically go down in late April - early May for tarpon and shark fishing.

[@salt-team-six5883]

Do you catch a lot of snook down there?

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Plenty of snook in the back country here😃

[@CharlesBurton-qb6xc]

How long is the rod?

[@erichuffstutter2719]

He said it's "either a 6'6" or 7' rod".
