Where is a good place for a fishing trip? My best friend and I are going to go on a vacation around our birthdays in April. We thought about taking a fishing trip either to Florida or maybe somewhere in the soutwest region of Canada (Vancouver area). We want someplace that is relaxing but also maybe has some good restaraunts or pubs. Someplace we can fish preferably freshwater, maybe a big lake or something, smoke some cigars and have a great meal afterwards. Any good ideas or experiences you all have had? Wow, so far great answers, I'll try and answer a few questions of you alls. My friend lives in oregan, and I live in Virginia. He and his wife are about to have a baby so I don't want him to have to spend too much money. I thought about flying out there and meeting him and maybe driving a few hours north into Canada. We don't plan on keeping the fish, just catch and release. Also, no need for big trophy stuff. We really want to just catch up and hang out. Eat some good food and maybe smoke some Cuban cigars if we are in Canada. We used to work together and have traveled the world and we just want to chill and have a great time over a long weekend. We both LOVE food and have stressful careers so we don't want to have to work to much, hahahaha. Thanks very much for the tips so far. Keep them comming! Oh, yeah, I have been fishing in the Keys, off of Marathon Key, and LOVED it, both on the Gulf side and the Atlantic side. I caught a Lemon Shark, Jack Kreval (sp?)and some Grouper. We both have been to Canada and always liked it but never fished there.

Do I have to take a charter boat to go fishing in the Florida Keys? me, my boyfriend, my friend, and her boyfriend are all going to Cudjoe Key in July. We are young and don't have a large amount of money to spend, but we do intend to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. Well my boyfriend and her boyfriend are very big on fishing and I was wondering do you have to get a charter boat to go fishing? Because, I looked into it and they are expensive, for us at least. This may sound so dumb, but can they just bring their own rods and just fish on the beach. Does anyone know of a cheap place where they can rent a boat of their own maybe, or maybe a cheap charter boat? I know that may sound silly, but if there is tell me? also tell me of any great places to go or things to do. We already booked our snorkeling trip, but is there anything else? Also do they need a license to fish on the beach?

I am from Queens NY(Yes not a well known fishing spot, but we do have many including the ocean), so i'd like to stay on the Eastern Seaboard. Me and few of buddies have been wanting to take a fishing trip for a while now, but I think this summer we probably will.

Good fishing, and bars. =P Thats about all, so what are the BEST fishing spots on the Eastern seaboard, other then Florida. I was thinking Carolinas?

Also an area that wouldnt mind a few guys from New York coming down either.

Also just good spots to vacation in Florida.

what to fish for this March and April months in Florida? Saltwater to be exact, my Grandfather and I are hardcore fishermen we fish as much as we can as possible (I'm a little more hardcore since after we do saltwater i do some freshwater fishing afterwards ;)). Anyway we've been fishing Spanish mackerel at skyway pier and him and I are always the only ones catching them no one else catches as much as we do when we go their as far as mackerel is concerned. But these past fishing trips we have only caught 20 then the next was 13 then the next was 2, the people next to us keep asking how we catch all these Macks and we just say luck but we both know we were the only REAL fishermans in that pier that Know what rigs to use at the right time. Back to my question, Ive been catching very little Macks in a very long period of time I think me and my Gramps should find something else to fish for but i cant seem to find anything very fun (catching alot of fish). We have a Grady White but we cant get it to close to the shore like flats boats its 22ft length wise forgot the model but its 25 years old and still running in tip top shape. Anyway what fish can we go after that will put up a fight and good to eat that we can catch alot of and when i say alot i mean like 25-60 fish a trip. If your wondering why we take so much fish is because we eat them and if we cant finnish them all or dont want to finnish them all we give them to the our other family members. Thanks for the feedback. Oh and BTW we live in new port richey Florida but our marina is at tarpon springs so keep that in mind and we can travel from new port richey - st. petersburgh to go fish which is like an hour to an hour and a half long so anywhere that we can travel to thats within this time range would also be good.(driving a car not a boat obviously)
