My Great Grandfather came down to South Florida around 1912 for the fishing and my family has had a line in the water ever since. With news of the fifth or sixth snow storm in a row up north this year I am thankful the fishing was good on my Great Grandfathers first trip. Fishing has always been a lure to Northerners with ideas of catching giant ocean game fish. GL
