Monroe County Residential Real Estate Trends |

I have lived in the Florida Keys with my family for over ten years. Having three children and a local tree business, A Cut Above FL Keys, we are actively involved in the community from coaching sports to sponsoring them and anything in between. After we purchased our Forever Keys home from Kelly in 2018, I immediately knew I wanted to become a Real Estate Agent to help others do the same. There is nothing more gratifying than helping a family find their dream home in paradise! My expertise in staging, pricing, and marketing homes will also ensure you get top dollar when you are ready to list your home for sale. Either way I would love to assist with all your Real Estate needs.

Local Business Big Boii Charters Brings You the Fishing Report for November
Winter is finally here ! It’s been a very hot couple months, and the water is finally starting to cool down to the lower 80s and high 70s. Winter in the keys means wind and more wind but be patient and the good weather days are certain to open up !
Trout are beginning to show up on the gulf side, as well as mackerel and kingfish on the Atlantic side. Yellow jacks are showing in good numbers just about everywhere you’d least expect, just make sure you got live bait to be able to pitch at them when they show themselves !
Plenty of pilchards have showed up early in the shallows near islands and grass flats as they always do every winter but they have shown in good numbers already in august . Just look for them diving pelicans ! Plenty of ballyhoo on the shallow patch reefs as well just make sure you’re ready to burn a block of chum to gain their confidence.
Yellowtail, Mutton snapper, and grouper are still showing up in good numbers on the deep reefs and wrecks, as well as the black fin tuna ! Wahoo and sailfish are getting ready to show up any day now ! Tight lines see you out there !
Your November fishing report is brought to you by Captain Torre Palmeno, Owner and operator of Big Boii charters located in Big Pine Key, Mile marker 30
