My brother in law got a nice town house 2 doors down from Hollywood beach. Been sitting on my Google maps and marking all the good spots I'm going to hit.
Going to go for tarpon first booked a guide for the 7th and the 9th. Might try at night by myself but really don't know if it's a good idea. Would like to have someone to fish with. So if anyone is near there in that time frame wants to link up let me know. The shrimp run should be in full swing at this time.
Second half of the trip I'm going to focus on freshwater. Like Miami airport lakes, Markham park,sawgrass Everglades and maybe lake Okeechobee. The last 3 listed rent jon boats for 79 dollars for 5 hours, 10 hp mother and a full tank of gas. I have other canals and parking marked out too. Hoping to catch a trophy largemouth peacock, snakehead, clown knife and some possible freshwater tarpon. A giant bass and a snakehead is the only thing I haven't got before. Wife doesn't want me to go to sawgrass Everglades because of alligators. I might still go it alone but it would be nice to have some backup.
PM or post here if you live in the area or are down for vacation trying to figure things out. This isn't my first time doing this. I'm also shipping an inflatable kayak to my brother inlaws house before I get there so I can make my own access.
