Vacationers enjoy the wide variety of attractions found in Florida. Vacationers that love fishing will love Florida as it has plenty of great fishing spots throughout the state.

The Florida Keys, a chain of small islands off the south of Miami, are appreciated for their unique lifestyle, its legendary road to Key West and its fishing spots. The Keys are popular among fishermen who enjoy deep sea fishing and catches such as marlin, tuna, grouper and snapper. Fishermen are everywhere in the Keys. Vacationers may rent a boat or go out on charter fishing boats that will take you to the best fishing spots. Islamorada, an area in the upper keys, is the sport fishing capital of the world.

Get cozy in a Lake Okeechobee vacation rental and enjoy the abundance of fish that wait in the lake for avid fishermen.
