Fishing and Boating
Not
many places in the world, let alone the United States, can beat Florida
when it comes to the quality of fishing and boating. In fact, with
7,700 lakes, 10,550 miles of rivers, and 2,276 miles of tidal shoreline,
Florida is the “fishing capital of the world” and some would consider
it the boating capital of the world. Florida has a large variety of
species of fish, from largemouth bass in the fresh waters, to redfish
along the shoreline to sailfish offshore. More anglers come to Florida
to fish than anywhere else in the nation.
Florida has the third highest number of boat owners in the nation
behind Michigan and California. And why wouldn’t it, with water
everywhere you turn. Boating is a favorite recreational pastime of many
Floridians and visitors to the state alike, as both are great outlets
for relaxation and spending time with friends and family. No matter
where you are in Florida, North, South, East or West, inland or on the
coast, good fishing and boating are just outside your door.
