    • Watch Out For Crab Pots on the Western Florida Coastline

      These pests are an even greater problem for passages after dark.

      Be careful south of Crystal River to Key West. Fisherman do place their traps within 1 mile off shore, as we saw in October. As an example you will see they come up to the entrance buoy to Clearwater; and Ft Myers Beach to Naples they could be anywhere from 1/2 mile off shore on out, but not nearly the numbers that are further to the north of Bocca Grande.
      Also, from Marco entrance south to Marathon, unless you have a very shallow draft vessel you may need to stay further than a mile off shore going around Cape Romano.
