No. We're in Ocean Reef, about 110 miles up US 1 from Key West.
Edit: technically I'm in Islamorada right now for lunch and beer.

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
This time tomorrow I'll be in Key Largo

I don't think you need to be a member to come here. Member discount is only like 5% for spending 4k a year in dues.
Who cares.... I'm in Miami. We'll come down and raid the bar on your ticket.
Win win.....

Turns out your still a faggit.
Got $3k just waiting to burn a hole in my pocket. Staying at the Marriot Beach resort, $350 a night and I don't care.
Cactus Jacks Sports Bar is screaming my name. Might even snorkel for you pasty white northerners locked up in hell right now.

I was wrong about Ocean Reef. Apparently you can't do shit here without a member number.
Yeah, its pretty hoity toity. That and they wanted you to wear a jacket to a lot of places.
But grab a drink and watch the yachts come in late afternoon. A parade of amazing boats.

I'm actually heading there week from Wednesday and will be fishing two days.
I've been in this tournament I think.
Side note: There's a group of upscale fishing captains that run these tournaments in 1000+ feet traditional non electric of reels between Marathon/ Islamorada up to ORC and then over to Harbour Island and Eleuthra in the Bahamas.
Tournaments are officially something like 20 or 30k, but the the captains do the side bets and trades and the pot will bust a million. When done they all head to Costa Rica for hookers, blow, and more fishing tournaments.
