Make some minor repairs and modifications to the trailer and call it home made.
Welcome to the stage DStreeter. fishinbuddy here, living in South Florida.
Welcome to the Forum Ginamarie71. If your canal is affected by the tides, fish it as the tide changes. Either going in or going out. If not dawn or dusk near bridges or piers.
No, you can never have too much fishing gear. But you have to understand the difference between the hobby of fishing and the hobby of collecting fishing gear. I have both.
Sure, get them. They're inexpensive to buy and worth a fortune when you need them.
A fisherman can never have too many rods. Just make sure that your wife understands the difference between the hobbies of fishing and collecting fishing equipment.
Semper Fi!
I live on the West coast of Florida, but I'll be in Ft Myers this week end. I'll have all day Friday free. I won't have a boat and would appreciate any tips about where I can fish from the shore, a bridge or a pier. Thanks.
Ugly Stik is strong and inexpensive. I bought a 15ft from Bass Pro for $90.
AMEN! brother.
Too many of us have been lost and or forgotten.

I live in South Florida. I've found that a Penn Battle II combo, 7' med action rod and a 4000 reel is about the most universal set up you can get. You can find them almost any where. Bass Pro, some Dick's sporting goods and half a dozen places on line. I have mine spooled with 20lb braid. Good for inshore boat, bank, pier or surf fishing from the beach if you don't have to cast out too far. Good luck.
Here on the East coast of Florida, we troll at varying depths from on the surface to about 15 ft. They usually hit the deeper one first and then attack the surface baits. In the winter and spring in about 150 to 200 ft of water and in the summer and fall in 300+. Troll near a weed line if you can. Personally, I like to troll at about 6 or 7 knots. I know it's a little faster than some fisherman like, that's just my personal preference.
Tight lines!
