Anyone flying down to the Florida keys,

I was bumming last week because I couldn't take my rigged out Hobie or any of my rods to the Keys. I was forced to rent a Kayak, but much to my surprise, there's a guy on Big Pine Key who rents top of the line fishing yaks Tarpon14i, Wilderness and Perception. So, instead of splashing around trying to fish in a ragged out yak. I spend the week virtually doing demos on different makes of kayaks.
his site is
Florida Keys Kayak Tours - Florida Keys Kayaking with Big Pine Kayak Adventures - eco tours in the lower Florida Keys, shallow water sailing and fishing, kayaks for rent (http://www.keyskayaktours.com/)

oh yeah by the way....just bought a ticket Round trip from Baltimore to Key West $296.00
