I fished a spot just like that out of Islamorada with a guide back in 2000. Lots of baby tarpon on lighter tackle. Very fun, have always wished to get back there but always end up steelhead or salmon. After that trip and growing up boating in the Puget Sound, I think a PNW fisherman could happy place down there to live. It’s different but has a vast ready to explore vibe similar to the Puget Sound.
