Fun & Fishing in Florida Fishing Florida is a place where and you're never more than a few miles from water. It is a place where you can catch a hundred pound tarpon in the morning, a sailfish in the afternoon and a six pound bass as the sun sets. It is a place where there are close to 100 species of fish for anglers can catch. Imagine yourself in Florida and these dreams and many more fishing fantasies can come true. Boating In a state where no one lives more than 50 miles from salt water and more than a few miles from some type of navigable fresh water, there are endless opportunities to enjoy a day on the water. Along the state's 8,200 mile plus coastline there are places for boaters to enjoy the solitude, fishing and wildlife of an undeveloped estuary or cruise by the spectacular homes that line the Intra-coastal Waterway along the state's east coast. With three million acres of lakes and 1,700 miles of rivers and streams to explore, there are plenty of places to fish, alligators to watch and sites to see. < Back to Things To Do
