Superb Accomodations for Fishermen
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/16/06
Our family has stayed at Parmer's Resort approximately ten times over the years. Recently we have utilized the resort on three or four day fishing trips. The accomodations are so clean, quiet and relaxing. Great grounds, scenery and colorful birds. The staff is tremendously helpful and friendliest you'll find at any resort. The pool is a great place to relax after a days fishing or touring the various keys. A great breakfast is served starting at 7:00AM, but we were always fishing by that time.
Parmer's is close to Route 1 and many great restaurants, e.g., Mangrove Mamma's, Big Pine Key restaurant, Boondocker's and the No Name Pub. There is also one located just down the road from Parmer's before you get to Route 1, but I have forgotten the name.
We have found (after several years) that the best fishing we can recommend is with Knee Deep Charters located on Geiger Key (10.5 miles north of Key West. Captain Kevin is a fabulous captain and knows his fishing better than any other captain I have fished with in the Keys over the years. We always catch our limit of yellowtail snapper. This past May we also landed a 37 lb black grouper, and 5 nice dolphin fish (15-27 lbs). For more info just Google (Knee Deep Charters).
We are in the planning stages of our 2007 trip back to Parmer's Resort and cannot wait to return!!
