		There's Great Fishing in Florida 
      The Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and 
		hundreds of bays, sounds and inlets provide bountiful waters that 
		Florida's marine fish call home. No other state in the union and few 
		countries can boast of a more varied 
      marine 
		environment. In fact, for many, fishing in Florida is not so much a 
		sport as a way of life. And there are many places to enjoy this life, 
		both inland and all along the coast. There are roughly 1,250 marinas in Florida, most with facilities, accommodations and outlets for salt and freshwater fishing charters. 
      Budget-minded anglers will find numerous 
		piers and parks to cast from as well as thousands of lakes, rivers and 
		canals.
		Boat 
		rentals and
		fishing 
		guides are located at the state's more popular fishing areas, such 
		as the St. Johns river and Lake Okeechobee. 
 |   Kingfish are popular in both the Atlantic and Gulf Coast waters. This catch is from a drift fishing boat in Jupiter. Florida is also known for it's many exciting fishing tournaments, from junior rodeos to high-end events with hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes. If you plan to enter one these official events, you'll need to follow the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) rules. | ||||||||||||
