Guest Post From Captain Tom Rowland (Saltwater Experience)
One of the things I did to keep my kids super excited about fishing was to become very involved in the Key West Fishing Tournament. The tournament is a long format ongoing tournament that begins March 1 and ends on the last day of November each year.

Monroe County will open re-entry into the Keys for residents and business owners in Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada at 7 a.m. Tuesday.Entry requires a yellow re-entry sticker or proof of residency or business ownership in those three cities. A roadblock will be put around Mile Marker 74, just before Sea Oates Beach where part of the road has washed out. An FDOT road crew will repair the road tomorrow.
Take a Kid Fishing
I have been fishing children for years and it is very important that you focus on teaching them, and keeping them involved in the day. It is not all about catching the biggest fish; it is about ‘hooking’ them on the experience and all that there is to see out on the water. Here are some tips to make your trip great:
Ibis Bay Resort
This past April, we stayed at Key West’s Ibis Bay Beach Resort while filming some new episodes. Branded as “Key West’s Original 1956 Resort,” Ibis Bay is just that. It’s a place where 1950s Havana meets modern amenities, and rooms are colorfully decorated with classic Key West and Cuban art, many including private hammocks and garden areas.
