I was looking out north of the city of Marathon and I was struck by the total lack of destinations for boaters looking for places to visit, perhaps an island to anchor out behind...
The sign referred to those of us on land, not the water borne. Looking east there was nothing much, a small mangrove lump just offshore.
To the west there was even less to see, a promontory beyond the boat ramp and that was all.
Nevertheless people were out boating and presumably out fishing.
I have crossed by boat from the southern tip of the mainland at Point Romano to Marathon, and outside of Florida Bay there is nothing to be seen but empty expanses of water.
I'm glad for the complicated waterline of the Lower Keys, islands, sand bars, shoals and places to go and see. Otherwise I'd have to go fishing.

Against Reipe's advice, fish are not food! Well according to the sharks in Finding Nemo they are not food at any rate.
They are food when they are found between two slices of cuban bread at Sandy's Cafe...
Yeah, fish-n-chips in news paper is one of my favorite dishes.
