So me and some friends are heading down to the Keys Florida in June. We will be on a student budget and don’t have a lot of money to spend, but we do intend to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. We are all very big on fishing and I was wondering do you have to get a charter boat to go fishing? Because, I looked into it and they are too expensive, This may sound so dumb, but can they just bring their own rods and just fish on the beach. Does anyone know of a cheap place where they can rent a boat of their own maybe, or maybe a cheap charter boat? I know that may sound silly, but if there is tell me? also tell me of any great places to go or things to do. We already booked our snorkeling trip, but is there anything else? Also do they need a license to fish on the beach?

Thanks Elle
