Tickle Stick...Check...Net ...Check...Gloves ...Check ....Secret GPS Lobster Spots (AKA Honeyholes) Check! OK! It's time for Mini-Lobster Season!!!  Get The Butter! Come and Get 'Em!!! Yes it's that crazy two days in July here in The Keys where boat gas prices soar, and Johnny Law is just itching to cite violators who don't measure or exceed their catch. Hoards of marine hunters motor down here to hunt for our tasty crustations and catch a post dive buzz at the Tiki Bar. For the uninitiated, Lobster Mini Season is always the last Wednesday and Thursday in July that gives recreational harvesters an edge on the commercial guys who cant start fishing until August. It's also a great weekend for real estate as many people, especially mainlanders finally say, "I need a place down here!"  And ...

Can you imagine Black Caesar or Black Beard with an iPhone??? Ponder if you will, the sexting, texting, emailing, and tweeting that would be going on, or even the apps!!! "OMG Ceas, U R my BFF!!!   Just raided a English Warship - gonna have my way with their Wenches -.  Beard out. " Anyways, in today's era we are fortunate to have tools they never even conceived of.

Summertime ... and the livin' is easy.  Fish are jumpin' ....well, you know the rest. Hmmm  Gershwin must have been contemplating the Keys. No place I would rather be than here in our breezy windswept chain of  limestone and charm. It's never too hot, and when the mercury does start its upward climb, just head out on the water as we did the other day. Went to the splendor of the Keys...Molasses Reef.  Always so breath taking, and even more so for out clients that we took out, as we floated 25 feet above the coral, watching the brilliant hues of seafans and the multitude of sea life that passed inches beyond our masks.  Grouper, Permit, Margate, a playful Turtle, Sergeant Majors and Blue Tangs, all danced in their own underwater Busby Berkly routine. Even better yet was the personal esco...

The Florida Keys, and the Upper Keys, especially, have some of the world's greatest reefs and wrecks to both Dive and Snorkel. The beauty and grace of watching a ray or shark glide by....the sheer brilliance of color of a Queen Parrot Fish ... the improbable architecture of patch coral reefs. The undersea flora and fauna are spectacular and that is in large part due to the efforts of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The Sanctuary has done a remarkable job in assisting boaters with keeping our coral reeks intact by providing mooring buoys at popular, and some not quite so well know, reefs and wrecks. By mooring to the buoys our reefs are shielded from potential anchor damage. As a public service your Conchquitador is providing diagrams of reefs and the location of their associ...

Forget George Carlin's 7 dirty words. Forget the F, S, C, P, D, and just about any other A thru Z words....When it comes to June 1st in the Florida Keys, one word is MOST Profane!!!! Wash your mouth out with bad Zest Profane..and that is The H-Word....Hurricane.   Yep, It's THAT Time of Year Again. Yes, like most of the Eastern states, The Florida Keys once again hold its collective breath as we start another dreaded Hurricane Season. Our little stretch of 118 miles of dust, gravel, and mangroves are prone to these suckers!   The Lovely, yet Somber, Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada All joking aside, Hurricanes have had an indelible effect on the Florida Keys. One visit to the lovely, yet somber Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada, quickly paints the image of the power and destructive capa...

Something real cool just happened at the Florida Keys Board of Realtors office. A broker from Texas, who saw our High School Scholarship Ad in the Free Press, stopped by to ask how our program worked, and was interested in taking our program back to her Association of 6000 members to help in her community. Way to go FKBR Members!!!   For Those of you that are now aware we have a great scholarship program.  Contact  me for details!

I LOVE MAGIC!!! Photo from Michael Trixx Facebook page And down here in the Keys, we have one of the very best Magicians I have seen in quite sometime. Michael Trixx features his hi-energy Rock/Magic show at a variety of venues here in the Upper Keys, with a standing gig at Gilbet's, sundown on Saturdays.  He is definitely someone to keep your eye on.   Tuedays, he is at the Lor e Lei in  Islamorada.  If you are down here on those days, take my advice and check him out, and enjoy the show, so you can say I saw him when....   Ready to make some real estate disappear???

Hello my name is Mykael ....and I am a Stataholic.  I had been without stats for about a month, but now I am back head first!!! My deepest apologies to friends of Bill W, but  I wanted to farcically demonstrate how much I LOVVVVE stats.  The story they tell...the truths they emit, and falsities they dispel.  The Numbers as they say, don't lie, and often buck Conventional wisdom.  And we have some very interesting (in my best Artie Johnson voice), numbers for the month of April, as we have been following a definite Trend. That a look at the our monthly Report for the Upper Keys ( mile markers 70 thru 108), and I will break it down below. Ok, Some important Bullet Points for you to be aware of: Sales Volume is Down  7.7% from 2011 because there were 19.5% fewer New Listings! The Absorptio...

How many bridges connect the Florida Keys? 42 Each with it's unique personality, the 42 bridges that connect the land masses from Key Largo to Key West are a spectaular marvel of engineering and sheer will. Most of the original bridges have been replaced but the original 100 year old + 7 Mile and Bahia Honda Bridges still grace our waters though long since have been decommissioned. The Original Bridges were build for Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad with the 2 mile Long Key Bridge being the first I would have to say that the Bahia Honda is my personal favorite and was the most difficult to erect because of the intense and swift currents Do yourself a Favor and take a ride over our 42 bridges.  They will astound you with their beauty and grace.
