More coastline than California, and light tackle fishing that rivals places much further away, Florida is truly a domestic saltwater anglers paradise. Spring through Fall the fishing is fantastic and varied. Just minutes from Miami, St. Petersburg, Tampa, or Ft. Lauderdale you can catch bonefish, redfish, tarpon, and snook. And the bass fishing around Orlando is dynamite for big hungry largemouth. Here's a starter list for things to think about taking on your next Florida Fishing Adventure
