Fishing

Fishing is a great sport that is possible for almost anyone in South Florida. Pretty much anywhere there is a life-sustaining body of water in our state, there is a fishing opportunity.

There are also different kinds of fishing.

You can try saltwater sport fishing. This type of fishing is done from a boat, where you can deep-sea fish and trolley. There are specific fishing charter boats that go out every day and for a fee you can tag along and use their fishing equipment. Some local fishing charter boats are:

Another option for fishing in South Florida is freshwater fishing. Freshwater fishing is somewhat easier because it can be done in lakes, near the Everglades, etc. Also, you can either go out in a smaller boat or even fish right from the shore, eliminating the sometimes expensive boat fees.
