Florida is one of the greatest places to be a Fisherman. If you love to fish and live here or are visiting from time to time this may be the group for you. If you just like to fish and hope to visit here this may be the group for you. If you just like to talk fishing, this may be the group for you. Hoping to find others in this area or any area who are interested in Off Shore Fishing, Backwater...

Was a crazy last year and a half

Finally made it back to FL. Cant believe its been 5 months since posting here. Sorry about that. Welcome to anyone knew. Anyone getting out fishing?
