The fishing in the gulf is allegedly great in the winter. I've never gone, but there are plenty of charters running. If we spend a month here, I'll likely do a few charters at some point. Right now, I'm trying to talk the wife into a VRBO inland somewhere. Stay within an hour or 90 minutes of the gulf, but rent a place on a lake. I could fish off the pier for bass and panfish a few hours a day. Have a fire at night. Swim in the pool. Go to the beach a few times a week. Drink Juengling There were tons of fish in the little canal my parents place is on. I thought about getting a 3 day license. Talking with the neighbor it sounds like there are gills and tilapia and maybe some bass. No need to go 90 minutes inland for that! I thought 90 minutes off the gulf was basically the Atlantic.  Florida's a big state. About 90 minutes east of here is Lake Placid. My wife has a friend staying in that area. Really nice. From Lake Placid to the Atlantic is about another 90 minutes. The place we stayed last year was on a canal. Lots of weird little fish swimming around. |

Lots of weird little fish swimming around. I think it's interesting to see how much the climate changes due to elevations here in OZ. A few hours from me they are skiing in deep powder snow......and the elk are roaming through the pines.....while here in the desert valley temps may be in the 80's. |

Drink Juengling I think I'd be tempted to get a good fishing Kayak from Hobie and try my hand at the back bays. What a way to spend a day. |

The place we stayed last year had kayaks we could have used on the canal. We were only there for a few days so we didn't use them. Stay for a month and I'd probably try to figure out how they work. I gotta get my wife away from the internet. She's about ready to book a place for all of next February right now. |
