Going to Florida in April

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

GFF Folks,

I will be traveling in Florida during the last couple of weeks of April, and was wondering if anybody can recommend some fishing opportunities.

I will be with the family - wife and the boys 19 and 21 - in an RV, so we have a lot of freedom to move about and no obligations with regards to theme parks or the like. We expect to concentrate on the Keys and the west coast (Carribean) rather than the Atlantic coast.

I have no plans towards guided tarpon trips, bluewater or anything like that, but was aiming more for stuff that can be done wading or even from the shore. I'm open to anything - bonefish, redfish, panfish, bass... you tell me.

So any recommendations regarding gear, flies and other things I need to bring are welcome.

Any Floridans (sp?) who want to share a couple of beers or a coffee, I'm certainly open to that too.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
