This is Neil from Summerland Key, holding his prize hogfish caught off of the Dry Tortugas this month. Here in the Florida Keys, we usually catch these fish with a spear gun or pole spear. Spear fishing blends the excitement of fishing with the beauty and tranquility of snorkeling or scuba diving. It is a blast, and boy, are those hogfish delicious!

Freddy Mercury may have said it best: "I want to ride my...Bi-cycle!" This is one of the best modes of transportation in Key West. It's small, there are bike racks all over, so there's always a place to park, and you can enjoy the beautiful Key West scenery that surrounds you. Plus- it helps you burn off that extra slice of Key Lime Pie!

I mean, where else can you wear a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops to the office and be considered "dressed" for work? Or watch a man ride down the street on a bicycle that is totally … (1 comments)
