They all make life more of a challenge when out on the waterways here in Florida . ..there definitely is an abundance of water here ..you got see the Everglades ..its like going back to prehistoric times ..one looks around and expects to see a dinosaur ...primitive but beautiful .....Paul

I fish a couple of canals around lake Osborne ..and canals off of 441 good peacock habitat ...I always thought Pike and pickerel were of the same family ..you live and learn ...Paul

Comment by JBplusThuy on October 24, 2012 at 4:22pm: I had to look up Deltona on Google maps to see where it is. You seem to be one of the 1% who are surrounded by more water than they know what to do with, so you're going to have to redistribute some of those lakes to California, along with their contents* ;-)

My grandmother retired to Frostproof and lived there throughout the seventies and into the mid-eighties until we brought her out to California, where she spent her last few years with us. Her house was somewhere right in between lakes Reedy and Clinch and both were walking distance. It was a cool place to visit as a fish-crazy 16 year old :-)

*If said contents include pythons, you can keep those. Also cottonmouths, water moccasins, gators, and other things that might take a chomp out of a float tuber :-)

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 24, 2012 at 10:02am: This is what I miss about FL - all that sideways water.

Seriously, everywhere one goes, a new fishing place emerges. It is the one thing I miss about living in the HumBug* State.

*Florida is nick-named the Sunshine State in popular culture. But those who live there know it's real description is "hum-bug"... short for humidity and bugs!
