      we apreciate your business and im glad your hooked up with tony skinner, he is a great captain. as far as wadeable areas here in the keys its very limited. i can count 5 spots between here and miami. There really is no secret spots that i have ever heard of. you can launch a kayak in the saddle bunch keys or down blimp road in sugar loaf. other than that there is boca chica beach off of big coppit key. there is also bahia honda state park as well as bales beach and annes beach in islamorada. Because these are the only spots in the keys to wade they can often have other anglers and or people just playing in the shallows which makes it difficult for a “stealth” approach. if you have any other questions or need a map of the areas above mentioned please feel free to give me a call here at the shop.
