Are you looking to catch some fish during your Orlando Vacation Package Deals Search adventures? you've come to the right place! When it comes to the ultimate saltwater fishing destination, Florida tops the list! Why so? Due to its geography, Florida offers access to the Gulf Stream, reefs, wrecks, estuaries, bays, inlets and rivers. Along with this, the area affords the chance to fish for everything from bonefish to billfish 'œ all in the same day if desired! In fact, Florida is the number one recreational fishing destination in the United States, and here are just a few reasons why:

  • Florida has 1,197 statute miles of coastline
  • Florida has 12,000 miles of rivers and streams
  • Florida has 7,700 lakes greater than 10 acres
  • Florida has Florida waters have generated over 700 world fishing records
  • Fishing is the second largest sports industry in Florida
  • Florida hosts 3.4 million anglers annually
  • Fishing supports 70,000 jobs
  • Florida is home to 2,100 marinas

For the best fishing in the area here are some of the lakes, canals and rivers you might want to check out:

Lake Trafford: Found near Immokalee and SR 29, this lake is consistent for good catches of all kinds.

Lake Istokpoga: Is found off US Hwy. 27 going south of Sebring in your Fort Lauderdale car rental, lays a virtual hole for freshwater anglers. Try "flipping," which involves dropping your bait within the length of your rod where you see the water or foliage moving in hopes its a bass lying there waiting to slurp up your plastic worm.

Lake Alfred: Lake Alfred has produced some of the biggest bass in the state, with many 10-pound-plus lunkers reaching boat side. It can be found close to Auburndale and a short drive in your Orlando Vacation Package Deals Search to I-4.

Disney World: If you are looking just to catch-and 'œrelease then Fort Lauderdale Discount 15 Passenger Van Rentals suggests Disney world which is an ideal location for the whole family to go to enjoy some fishing. Disneys two big lakes contain a huge population of bass that have learned to live with boat noise and crowds. You cant go on your own but half-day rentals aboard pontoon boats with a guide are available.

Lake Talquin: Just west of Tallahassee, this stump-strewn lake is the perfect environs for healthy bass. Go with heavier line than usual to deter the abrasion.

Other rivers that are filled with fish are: Peace River, Withlacoochee River, Suwannee River, Steinhatchee River, Fenholloway River, Choclawhatchee River and many others.

Fishing Safety

If your Fort Lauderdale Discount 15 Passenger Van Rentals adventures have you traveling with young kids you want to be sure you keep all activities as safe as possible. Here are some suggestions to keep your kids safe while fishing:

  • Establish rules: For example, no running; keep shoes on; point your rod towards the sky when walking. Look around for people and obstructions before you cast.
  • Anglers should learn the overhead cast first. The overhead cast teaches proper technique and is safer than side casts.
  • Set up a buddy system. The youngest anglers need an adult "buddy" and constant supervision.
  • Make sure each young angler, swimmers and non-swimmers alike, wears a personal flotation device at all times'ťon the boat, on the dock, or on the shore.
  • Bring a long-handled fish net, not just for netting fish, but in case it is needed to reach out to someone in the water. It will also retrieve trash or valuables from the water.
  • Take a first aid kit with medical supplies to deal with cuts and scrapes, bruises and bumps, bites.
  • Plan for cold drink breaks. Florida temperatures can get pretty warm, so bring lots of cool water and other healthy drinks and make sure the young anglers drink fluids often to prevent dehydration.
Proving a controlled environment will allow everyone to have a fun and safe time during your Orlando Vacation Package Deals Search adventures!
