World Wide Sportsman in Islamorada. Its expensive but its a cool store! They have a huge aquarium with snook and tarpon and reds in it. They also have a replica of Hemingways boat in there. You can buy stuff elsewhere for cheaper but its a nice place to stop and see.
Crook and Crook in Coconut Grove it a good one as is worldwide sportsman megastore in islamorada right next to islamorada fish house and morada bay. Don't forget Woody's. Big Dick and the Extenders play their a few nights a week...........oops did I just say that
Dont forget to stop and feed the Tarpon as well if you have never done that! Forget what island its on, but it is on the north side of the road. Someone on the forum might be able to help you out on what island or mile marker.
They have a Bass-pro in Ft-Lauderdale. But the World Wide sportsman is a Bass-Pro entity. They will have what ya need. However, the best bet is to stop at the Mom & Pop stores and #1 support small buisness. and #2 they will give ya the scoop on what is happening! Oh yeah, you know that road you always look at and wonder where it goes?? Take it! You will be suprised at what is at the end of the road in the Key's. Also, the No Name Pub on No Name Key. It is off of Big Pine Key. You can stop and see the key deer and have the coldest beer and best pizza ever! No fishing supplies, but what the HELL! Have fun.

I FIRST VISITED BILL BUCKLANDS "FISHERMENS CENTER" IN PALM BEACH IN THE LATE 80'S...HE WAS A KID THEN......I LIKE TO TAKE MY TIME AND LOOK IN ALL THE CORNERS FOR THE UNUSAL AT HIS PLACE.....TRUST ME
Shark, I hope to fish on and off all week, but I’ll play it by ear. I was going to stop in at the Lorelei (sp) or bud and mary’s to see if there are any flats guides available.
Logan, Yeah World Wide is on the list, and the wife wants to feed the tarpon so well do that. All I know is that its on the right After the bridge that leaves Matacombe Key.
Bill, I'm not even asking about big dick!
Muddy, I'm definitely going to check out the No Name Pub on No Name Key.
Marty, you got an address, or is it a legendary place that all I need to do is ask?
Capt-D.... Please think of me while you are down there in the warm sunshine on the beaches enjoying yourself.... I wish I still lived down on Pampano Beach... those were the best times....
