Charter capital of Florida??

Brian2944 · 08-17-2005, 03:00 AM

I'm looking to move to Florida soon (west coast). I'm wanting to move to get experience for my Captain's License. Where would you advise the best place to go for the most jobs available?

Many Thanks

East coast...
Pompano, Lauderdale or the Keys is easiest. Not much cooking on the west except for like bottom fish up say near Destin or Panama city...

Islamorada is great choice. Just be at the dock early. Within days you should be able to land a job if no other reason, because somebody got drunk and didn't show up...
