Cape cod for May through October (coincidence that it is similar to Striped Bass?). Visit Kids and grandkids in TX (Dallas and Austin) in April and November and December. Live with Relatives in FL Jan, Feb and March and do lots of day and week trips all over FL in that time (also redfish, snook, seatrout, tarpon and ladyfish) and my annual March Madness trip in Marathon during start of NCAA hoops.
TX too hot in summer (100 degrees every day). That is why my daughter and her girls spend a month with us in July and early August. We are in Austin TX now and it is 100.
FL hot in summer (but sea breezes near coasts- either one) so better than TX.
Grand kids are definitely a REAL draw for some grandmas too so the kids locations must be accounted for too.
One good home base especially RI or MA for striped bass lovers. Then plan on lots of travel the other months.
Don't permanently move until you try a cycle or two. Make sure family is 100% on board, when wife is happy, everyone is happy.
Residency thing is real and 183 days minimum and a few other tests too that are well documented. States want their $.
Retirement second only to marrying my wife. I tell the kids they are a distant third.
Still practicing and fine tuning but 1st 2 years very good.
