Everglades National Park

There are multiple choices for fishing trips in Florida. Where else are fresh water and salt water fishing as abundant? You need a separate license for each. Types of bait allowed (minnows and shiners) are specific for use in freshwater areas.

Saltwater bait includes shrimp, minnows, pilchards, pinfish and shad. You can use a hook and line, a dip net if it's less than three feet wide or a cast net. Lobster and queen conch are a forbidden catch.

The gentle Manatee is now an endangered species and areas they frequent are posted. If you come upon one, immediately slow your boat motor to idle. Wildlife lovers everywhere want these gentle giants protected.

Just like you should be protected on your fishing trip. Take along the camouflage survival knife, which is an amazing, multi-purpose tool. The handle is hollow and holds fishing hooks and line, a sharpening stone and wire saw. Comes in a camouflage leather sheath with a leg tie-down. The screw-off top is a compass.
