Yes, reports have declined a lot, but not for a lack of people fishing. I see kayaks out very often but no reports. Guessing it was either a bad trip, or people keep their mouths shut because you aren't part of their little high school clique.

For now, keep your reports coming and let me live vicariously through you. lol

Alas well other than the useful information the fish porn on this site was always worth the visit haha

Florida's deep water close to shore is between Miami North to West Palm Beach. Being in Fort Lauderdale, That is my range of launch areas. As you mentioned, 5+ miles of patch reefs to clear to get to blue water in the Keys. I tried it twice and caught nothing different than locally -- have not been back.

That sounds really cool being able to reach the edge of the reef would love to check it out. There are scattered wrecks and reef out in the gulf but for the most part its a shallow desert out there. Big tarpon roaming the beach in the spring/summer!
