ALTERNATIVES TO OFFSHORE
Florida offshore fishing can be absolutely fantastic. The Florida Fisherman II catch from last Friday hit the dock Sunday morning with a mountain of fish:(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/32(32).jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/772ab0e7-6644-4c74-a172-10d9bb14b1b0/p/8ff933d7-2bb5-4a8b-9c9d-118ee6019a01)Prefer fishing closer to shore? This is our Florida; fish can be caught from hundreds of miles offshore, inshore, and all points in between. I know; I am a Florida native who has been fishing the Sunshine State for over 70 years. Sheepshead fishing around Davis Causeway Bride was a lot a fun and very productive. We used hand lines. At night the Snook took over:(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/1(167).jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/772ab0e7-6644-4c74-a172-10d9bb14b1b0/p/ca6bd452-8e2b-4e43-984a-692163df7d9c)Davis Causeway opened January 28, 1934 with a 25 cent toll pr car. In 1948 Davis Causeway was renamed Courtney Campbell Causeway. Today inshore/nearshore remains very good. Think fishing is just for men? Think again! The very young and our ladies are also deeply involved.

Estelle is so involved that she has formed a Fishing Club known as, 'Ladies Anglers of Hubbard's Marina.'(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/4(123).jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/772ab0e7-6644-4c74-a172-10d9bb14b1b0/p/484094c3-8320-4a6b-9e5e-41a7bdd6ff41) to catch Red Fish but do not have a boat?
