Why we like Florida so much

    Why we like Florida so much.
 
Ever stop to think 'Why we like Florida so much?'
Let's just say our Northern neighbors have it a little colder than we do:

Our Winter sports are a little different:

Even our fishing is a little different:

Late November on the Florida Fisherman ll:
150 mangrove snapper, 250 deep water vermilion snapper, and 10 huge porgies, along with:
30 scamp grouper of all sizes:

Many 'endangered' AJ''s. All were released:

Same with the recreationally 'over-fished' red grouper. Ten caught, vented, and released to fight again:


Now that's a big grouper. The Florida, for study purposes, has a special permit to bring goliath grouper on board. Statistics are taken, the mighty fish is vented, and returned to his rocky home:



The reasons 'we like Florida so much' is pretty obvious:
 



Headed to the snapper banks this weekend, & then to the woods for some Florida wild boar hunting.  Be sure to follow the reports, or, better yet; join us.

Florida is for old farts who couldn't make it in NJ .

THAT'S WHY I WANT TO MOVE THERE!!!

  I know what you mean. I want to move to the Arctic Circle. However, when you freeze at 70 degrees that might not be a wise idea. What do you think? 

Guys I am going on a 39 hour full moon snapper trip this weekend. We are looking @ temperatures of 80+. But it not all that good; it could possibly get down even into the high sixties at night.
Going hog hunting Monday. Will probably be hunting in shorts.
  Best!  Bob H.

Go ahead Bob rub it in while we freeze our azzes off here wishing we were catching some delicious Reds.

My wife has been just about everywhere in FL and we have friends in Sanibel Isl. I have never been in FL. myself.

Now would I "rub it in?"
Hold on! I have to get up and turn the AC on.

Thanks for pointing this out this difference in climates and temperatures Bob.    I hope you did not hurt yourself getting up to turn on the AC.   

Good luck on your upcoming trips and I am looking forward to your reports.

Tight Lines,
