Florida Road Trip 2013
I always thought my trips were pretty epic...but whenever I come on this forum, I feel less than worthy all the time...how do I even compare with Vanautu??? 
I tried to be brief this time since there were 19 days to write about. Most of the pictures taken were of new species caught. I added 30 new species on this trip to bring the total number of new species added in 2013 up to 103 species. I would say I've probably easily caught 50+ species of fish on this trip. Fishing in Florida is pretty insane!
Just to tease you a little...
...and also this...
Check it out on my blog...all the juicy details are there!

Great Pics!`
Love the pics mate, will have a read of the blog too. I'm heading to Miami & Bahama's in March - do you know much about the fishing around there?

What are you hoping to catch
What are you hoping to catch in Miami or Bahamas? I haven't fish in Bahamas and barely scratched the surface in Miami...but I do have some general knowledge of the species in that area. Are you looking to go fishing with guides or DIY fishing from shore?

The Oscar looked better like
The Oscar looked better like this...
Oscars are invasive in Florida so there is no size or bag limit. Yes, we ate some Oscars. They tasted fantastic...but not sure if they are worth the $20-40 price tag at the pet shop as a food fish.
NAH! The beautiful one in my picture was released. It was too pretty to eat. But we did keep some Oscars for the table.

Great trip mate. Good to see
Great trip mate. Good to see you got into some awesome fish!
Probably a good time of year to be getting away from Toronto as well. One hell of a Winter over there eh.

Hey mate! How are you doing?
Hey mate! How are you doing? Hope all is great on your end!
Yeah, it was very good timing to get out of Toronto. We missed the ice storm
.
Going out icefishing with Michael tomorrow...wish you were here.
Nice avatar picture
Let us know the next time you're in town again and we'll get out fishing once more.
I keep wanting to visit you so we can catch some bronze whaler...but don't have time money and more importantly don't have the amount of vacation time yet
One day I hope to make it happen.
Take care!
