One of the paramount destinations for recreational fishers, "Fishing Key West: and the Lower Keys" is a handbook for those who want to get started doing their favorite pastime in this wonderful vacation destination. Aimed at any level of fisher, there is much to be learned within the manual for fishing in the region, some tips which are valuable when fishing elsewhere as well. "Fishing Key West" is a fine pick for the traveling fisherman who will soon find themselves in Florida.

This is a very good book. I just got it and read it cover-to-cover in a day...it was hard to put down. Now I'll have to read it again and study it. He doesn't waste many words, and gets right into specifics of fishing around Key West. The book is broken down into sections - areas, techniques, and species. I'm not a local, but have been on several guide trips and have spent probably 50-75 days on the water down there in my own boat (mostly inside the reef) and many things I've discovered through trial and error, guide trips, and browsing hundreds or thousands of forum posts are in this book. It's pretty obvious within the first few pages that the guy knows what he's talking about, and there are quite a few very useful quotes from local guides also.

This was a great book! I have been fishing the keys for years and this book had a lot of valuable information that I didn't know before. The stories and the how-to information are great. This book made me want to head right back down to key west to go fishing again. I highly recommend it if you love to fish.

One of the best books about fishing a region that I've ever read. In-depth, entertaining, with the kind of insider's info that you want. Plenty of good advice from pro guides, too. Made me want to get back down to The Keys right away. It's a gem.

This book is excellent, thorough, and gives super valuable insider tricks on how to catch Keys fish. The author himself is very experienced and he has traded notes with professional Keys fishermen over the course of many years. You will definitely use this book!

Not quite finished the book yet but I live in Key West and have foundit very informative and pretty well written. Nice compilation of fishing in The Keys. I would recommend it.

This book, a breeze to read, is chock full of tips and insights on where and what to fish--graciously shared by local Key Wester, Conway. Great read for both the beginner and experienced angler. I've not found a comparable resource in its depth of detail. After reading, I'm eager to head back to Florida, to fish or course.
