Saltwater

Curacao is a well known island in the world of Caribbean travel.

The best way to choose rigs for any marine gamefish is to understand the basic ways in which they feed. Redfish feed along the entire water column.

Bimini is really a couple of islands 50 miles east of Florida's Gold Coast. Though it sits on the Western side of Bahamian Islands, it also fronts the edge of the Gulf Stream, a giant source of life and big fish. Because of this deep water proximity, the flats of the Bimini Islands (north and south) have some of the world's biggest bonefish swimming across their shallows.

The spotted seatrout is the most popular marine inshore game fish from the Carolinas to Texas. Not only are they delicious table fare, but they are relatively easy to catch on a few basic rigs.

It's not unusual to see 50 fish or more stacked up in shallow waters. That's why modern flats boats, made of composite materials for some of the strongest and lightest hulls, are needed to navigate these waters.

It's about time more marine anglers headed for Florida become familiar with this marvelous barrier island on Florida's southwest coast. Keewaydin (pronounced Key-Way-Din) lies south of Naples and north of Marco Island.

Grand Bahama is the Bahamian island which has the most contact with the United States. Its proximity and the frequency of daily travel options make Grand Bahama easily accessible.

The Memorial Day holiday weekend gives anglers a chance to get on the water in pursuit of a cobia. These saltwater fish are prized for their fighting ability.

One of the finest ways I know to spend a hot summer day is drifting for flounder.
