Just a quick note on this post. The Florida Keys are a protected area and any harvesting of any kind is illegal. Fishing is allowed but there are many places that fishing is also illegal. Make sure you talk to the local fish and wildlife group in the area you are going before attempting any collecting. In Florida it is a Felony if you get caught with something you are not supposed to have, they will also take your boat, everything on it, and take you to jail. Be very aware of the rules and regulations for the area you are going, as they change from place to place.
