[cool][font "Californian FB"][#005028][size 3]Hi there marcoisland78 and welcome to the BFT. I assume that you will be doing salt water fishing. Any particular species you have in mind? Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish are quite common in your area. Years ago I fished off of Sanibel Island which was great. Hadn't really planned on doing any fishing there as my wife and I just wanted to get away for a few days. Loved the place so much that we stayed a week. Bought a rod and reel and spent 5 straight days in the surf. The water temp was about 85ยบ. A catch so to speak that I didn't want was stepping on a small ray. Boy did my heel ever bleed. My preference has always been to use light tackle. Makes me feel more in touch with my catch. As JapanRon mentioned would be helpful to know what species that you plan on seeking.[/size][/#005028][/font]
