Winter Destinations
OK, I'm not giving up on fishing still this year because there is still fun to be had, though my opportunities are quickly disappearing  due to other commitments (kid  ).
I do always want to do some great, cheap, warm weather fishing during the winter months which obviously means heading south.
What are some good options for some warm weather cheap fishing to consider this year. Especially with some shore fishing mixed in? |

I've not done it, but the Banana River/Mosquito Lagoon fishery for redfish, black drum, tarpon, and seatrout looks very affordable and easy to do. Somewhere (finding it won't be easy)I have a fantastic inch by inch spot burn book with detailed maps and aero photos about it if you are interested. It is easily accessible by car/wading, kayak, small boat rental, or charter. Plenty of cheap hotels. You can rent a truck if you decide to get a kayak

George mentioned some great options and that trip can be parlayed into a Sebastian Inlet extravaganza.Great fishing in that area with some real brutes.

The Florida Keys are always a good bet. Cheap air fare, lots of choices, amazing fishing.

Dress warm and come ice fishing with us. Bring the kids, as long as they like hot dogs, cocoa and a good time.  |

I would love to say "I'm In" but there is no way I am going South without brining my wife. I can fish & whatever, but she is going to be at the pool with drink in hand or I will not be there....
...unless it is for work....hmmmmmmm....

I cant speak for JohnR, but something tells me that if Nebe, you and I were in Mexico on a fishing trip.....well we might not make it home alive, or at lease remember much, and maybe not really fish at all........ |

Jupiter, Panama City, Port Salerno, Hobe Sound
there is a Campground Jonathan #^&#^&#^&#^&inson State Park in Hobe Sound,FL
The Olxihatchee river has all the jacks you can catch on a 4-wt till your arms fall off. and night fishing for snook is pretty good
Offshore if you can get a guide, there are a few excellent ones I would recommend, jacks to 40 lbs, spanish macks, blues. Alot of this guys have their own FAD's set up, 3 or 4 sheets of plywood hung vertically.

And nothing like a 4 day trip in warmth to get rid of the jonesing and make the bride happy again , I'm miserable by then anyway and giving her a break from me is probably good |
