Great Fishing

Speaking of speckled trout (specks) hanging out in the grass flats, that is where our guest, the gentleman on the left, caught these 2 HUGH Speckled Sea Trout (Specks)  You can bring your boat or rent one locally.  If you are like me, you can hear fish like these calling your name, asking where you are and why you are not fishing !!!

The fellow on the right is Rich Knox, one of the premier fishing guides on this coast of Florida.

Bring your own Boat, or Rent One Locally! 
This is one of our guests in their own boat at the island named Anclote Key State Park .  With your boat, or a rented one - you can go out to the beautiful islands that are about 4 miles from shore.  During the week these tropical islands are truly paradise and they are virtually "deserted " because the only way to get to the island is by boat. Click to email me


This house is on a Canal that leads to the Gulf of Mexico.  If you are a boater, you can rent a boat locally or bring your own.  Our dock will accommodate your boat.  There are numerous "tropical islands" for you to visit and explore by boat and the fishing is GREAT.  We have had 1 guest that has come every year since 1998 and he says the fishing is getting better every year!  Click to email me
