Great tour. Bud n' Mary's is a landmark. A lot of fishing history there. So glad I had the opportunity to film you, Your Dad, Capt Scott, Capt Walter and we can forget Capt Anne over the years. It was a pleasure. Catch a BIG one!
Amazing video Captain Nick!!! I can't wait to return to Bud N' Mary's. The plaque with the "Far better it is to dare mighty things..." by Theodore Roosevelt great. There is so much cool history at the marina your family has owned for over 40 years - and I'm sure more will be made in the next 40+ years.
Curious to know if you ever met or fished with some of the South Florida fishing legends? Flip Pallot comes immediately to mind, as does the late Jose Wejebe, Lefty Kreh, and Rob Fordyce? Keep up the good work with your channel. Love the format of your videos!
I did fish with Jose once as a kid. We were doing a trip on the head boat at the marina taking out a bunch of kids and he was one of the volunteers to help.
Just watched this Nick, must've been a fabulous place to grow up, no wonder you've moved onto captain and bringing your own family up around the marina, well done and thank you for the tour
I never put two and two together. But we used to stop by there all the time to watch the charters come in. My dad lived down on Big Coppitt Key for years when I was growing up.
My grandparents lived in Islamorada. I remember constantly being at Bud N Marys as a kid. I'm sure you've met Mary Jane and Ron OBrien at some point. Crazy to stumble across this channel.
Definitely got your own Florida key.. there's no reason to leave you have all you need right there.. A true fishermen's DREAM!!! Definitely will stop in and say hey next time though 🙂 huge fan!!
I'm just learning about your area, and I think I heard of Bud N Mary's even before I knew much about Islamorada. We are planning a trip down next spring and your vid was helpful. Can't wait.
Great to see such a wonderful family atmosphere! If my family makes it through these tough times relatively unscathed, Bud N Mary's will be our first family vacation! God bless and stay safe!
The rooms are very nice and large. They are well worth the $. The rooms have a home like feel .. Quilts and all. It's also nice that you feel like you can trust your stuff won't be stolen from your vehicle.
Nice tour of Bud n' Mary's. My Dad docked his Bertram 31 at Bud n' Mary's for many years. Video brings back a lot of great memories. Hope all is well with your Dad and uncle Scott.
Thanks for sharing a tour of your home. What an amazing place to grow up. I’ll definitely stop by next time me and my family head down south. We usually stay in Cudjoe Key. We have family there.
As a FL native, but not a conch, Ive been to the Keys over 100 times. My Dad used to have his boat at the Caloosa Cove years ago and we piloted by BnM many times. Always great to see a landmark on my drives down as well. Thanks for sharing and tight lines!
Nick, I am impressed !!! What a story filled with great memories !! I appreciate your videos and enjoy getting educated on salt water fishing. You are very professional. You are personal with people and fun to watch as you interact with friends and family. You are truly blessed !!! Hope to make it there someday !
It must have been an amazing experience to have grown up with all that history around you and now be one of the major FrontRunner of what keeps it going. You guy's do amazing work Capt Nick. Keep those videos coming while we are stuck at home. Thanks.
have been visiting your shop for over 20 years, fished many times with a bunch of the boats, and stayed in your rooms and the houseboats and still really enjoyed watching the video. good luck with everything after this last crisis!
Dude, the more I watch your videos, the more I fall in love with this Marina of yours. I am making it a life goal to book a fishing trip there one day!
Hi Nick just found your channel and LOVE it. You have good content and in is very educational as well. My wife and I favorite is the catch and cook segments, after watching this episode I called and booked us the week of Nov. 14 2022 and can't wait. I have waited for over 20 years to go to Islamorada Fl. and enjoy the great history Thanks Paul Pritchard
Luckiest man on earth. Just dont ever forget how blessed you are. Hoping to book a trip in Sept. Keep it up. I grew up on the ocean also but it was in NC. Holden beach. Wife is trying to book a house boat.
I love your family history and the love for the outdoors and the water! My kids and I just got done spearing and cooking Carp and gar Cajun style on the grill! Live free eat wild!
StanzFam yessir! I would love to come visit with you and Fish when this whole pandemic crap is over! Love watching you and Blue Gabe as well as deer meat interact and I feel like I’m part of that community.
I didnt know you were famiy there!..cool..i fished there inthe 60s on my dads boat..then fished with Bobby Haines and Jackie Morrow on the Lovango..i mst have met you way back when..great operation!!..
thats my next vacation , hope to have a charter with you also , i really liked this video. im FLOGROWN, so maybe thats why. beautiful family and operation you have Mr Stan , i found you by DMFD
Great memories. I grew up going to The Moorings. We went twice a year for 20+ years and I used to rent boats from Bud N Mary’s and Cobra Marine when I wasn’t windsurfing with Hubert or getting in trouble at the Tiki Bar at Holiday Isle. My wife grew up going to the Anglers Club in Key Largo... we still visit her parents down there. Islamorada is the best!!!
Never knew ur family owned the marina. Wow such a blessing to be able to be born into a wonderful family. You and ur family safe from this covid 🙏🏻love ur videos. Watching all the way from big island hawaii
Nick this is a great video. I like you grew up fishing from Coconut Grove to Marathon. My years of growing up there were in the 40's and 50's. This was long before your dad purchased Bud and Mary's and you guys have really made it grow. We did a lot of bay side fishing around all of the islands in the 40's and 50's. Pulling large grouper and snappers from under the mangroves with hand lines. Some of the old first boats were flat bottom wooden plank boats with a 4 hp lawnmower motor with no reverse. Just start and go. I lived several years on Conch Key and Crawfished (Florida Lobster to folks now) as well as Mackerel fished. That was in the late 50's. Glad of what you guys have there but I have to admit that I miss the old Keys. Not much traffic back then,
Thanks for watching! I bet you saw some amazing fishing back then! I know the Keys have changed a lot in my lifetime, I can’t imagine it back in the 50’s
@@StanzFam yes. I remember Bud and Mary's from the 40's when it was new. Have caught many fish on Alligator Reef. Crawfish under just about every rock. Not to big a deal to catch a 200 - 300 pound Jew Fish off of that reef. It happened every year. I know that you knew Ralph Delph. He and I went to school together in Miami. He took his first fishing trip with my dad in Biscayne Bay catching sand-perch drifting and using a hand line. We were probably 6 years old at the time. We went big time when we got our first spinning tackle. Miss my Keys please keep them beautiful.
I grew up in the wrong family i know it probably wasnt all good times but man your a lucky man hopefully my trip down there is not cancelled the end of apirl stay safe and we will get back to normal soon
Hopefully things are better in a few weeks. Like you said, plenty of great things People get to see but always plenty of other things going on, just like any family and/or business.
Just stayed there and literally best trip of my life ❤️❤️
🙂👍🏻
Probably the coolest thing your parents could own is one of the largest and most popular marinas in the keys. Must have been fun growing up there.
Thanks for sharing. A definite stop on our aquatic adventures
Your family is blessed.
For sure 🙏🏻.
Sadie is going to have an awesome Life. Your blessed for all you have Captain Nick.
I hope so 👊🏻👊🏻🎣🎣
What a fabulous place. A real Landmark.
Must be an even better place to live, work and play!
Paradise. Love your videos
You have the life most
don’t even dream about, enjoy and be great full
We stopped on our way back from Key West , vowed i would not miss stopping there, PURE FLORIDA HISTORY THERE!
As cool as your fishing videos are, it is nice to learn a little more about Bud and Mary’s and your connection to it.
Thanks 👊🏻👊🏻

Awesome! That’s a while back, bet you got to see some great catches
Nice. Thanks for the tour...
Thanks for watching 👊🏻👊🏻
That's called paradise to me! Love the keys!

Thanks for the tour Cappy! Used to run around there in high school when I wasn't working at Holiday Isle. Coral Shores C/O '93.

Thanks for watching!
I hope you did another video about the re power of the boat, the maintenance and behind the scenes videos are always good.
Cool, thanks for the tour.👍
I never put two and two together. But we used to stop by there all the time to watch the charters come in. My dad lived down on Big Coppitt Key for years when I was growing up.
Cool, lower keys are nice!
That is SO cool that the tarpon are just right here at the dock.
