Hello everybody and welcome to my blog about saltwater fishing and more. I will tell you a little bit about myself to get things started off right. First off this used to be a contest blog for seo, then when I tried to transfer the domain to the new host I had lost every post that I had on it, oh well this is a perfect time for me to rebuild. As you can see this will now be a fishing blog, because one of my favorite things to do is some saltwater fishing. I am from Florida and have lived here about 80% of my life. I will grow old here in the sunshine state and hopefully so will my daughter.
I am 27 years old and have a 3 month old daughter, along with a wonderful girlfriend who is the mom. I dont get many chances to get out of the house any more because I work a full time job as an HVAC technician/Tampa Bay Handyman, and when I am off work I am usually on the computer typing away or doing something. Anytime I get some free time or some vacation time you can as good say that I will be either in the Keys or somewhere in Fort Myers doing some saltwater fishing. My cousin and my uncle own a marina down in Fort Myers called Marina Mikes, and it is a great place to get a used carolina skiff. The benefit of that is they always have a boat or two lying around, so everytime that I go down there to visit there is a different boat for us to go fishing on.
Out of all the types of saltwater fishing I have done I would have to say that catching dolphin fish is the most fun, just because of the anticipation of waiting for the fish to hit the rig. You troll for sometimes hours, waiting, drinking a beer, pulling seaweed off of the rigs and letting the rigs back out in the water, looking for birds and boards, but once you get that strike it makes it all worth the wait. My second favorite type of fishing would be snook fishing. Not only are they a blast to catch, but in my opinion they are the best tasting fish that there are, thats why they have such strict limits on them because they have been so overfished in the past.
So I am hoping that in a couple of years I can save up enough money to buy a boat, and maybe even a small house with a dock somewhere here in Florida. The only two places I would move to is either Saint Petersburg, Florida, or somewhere down in Fort Myers Florida so that I could be close to my aunts and my uncle. If I had a choice and if my financial status would let me I would fish 10 hours a day every single day, I am not saying I want to be a commercial fisherman or anything, like in the deadliest catch t.v. show, but I would sure like to do some mangrove fishing for snapper and snook everyday of the week, with the occasional deep sea trip out in the Gulf of Mexico to hook up with some Mahi Mahi.
