The hogfish are pretty good in the winter months as they come into the shallows. Lobstering will be open in January also.

Water temp should be around 75 on the main reef line, need to be at least 3 miles out in Islamorada. Snapper and hogfish on the reef, grouper is closed in January.

Most all take credit cards and cash. Haven't run into a cash only problem. the people are rustic and worn out themselves but there is technology down there
