General Fishing Discussion
florida fishing
I just moved back to the South Sub of Chicago after living in Miami for 17 years. South Naples/Marco Hwy 41 were my old stomping grounds. I could for sure give you some great shore spot off of 41 and even a few off the beaten path for Peacock bass. I would rather keep them off the boards though and you please do the same.
I will PM you and maybe some pins on Google maps? Tarpon, LG Mouth, Snook, Red fish, Peacock bass, mayan cichlids, Oscars, blue tilapia, and many other species. I can even send you into the python hunting grounds (i've never seen one but they're out there)
I know this is a longshot but thought it was worth asking. My GF and I are headed down to Marco Island area the first part of June for a week and are hoping to do some fishing. We have fished the Keys from shore, piers, etc. a few times and somewhat familiar with doing that. I thought about getting a charter to go offshore but was hoping maybe someone knew somebody or had connections to the area to someone that just goes out on their own and would take us out for maybe not quite as much as the $600-$800 it would cost for a charter for just the 2 of us. (Gas, Bait, Drinks, Dinner, Tip, etc). I'm certainly not trying to be a cheapskate but was looking to save a little money and also be able to fish with someone that is not going to do everything for us except reel in the fish. We're from the Fox Valley area and had a boat on Lake Michigan for many years so are used to big water and know how to fish. If anyone can help us with this or even a few spots to shore/kayak fish it would be appreciated. I was just hoping to have a meal or 2 of fish while we were down there and if anyone is ever up in the Fremont area I live on Lake Poygan and I would be happy to take them out fishing here. Thanks in advance, Dave
