So, I haven't booked anything yet.
However I did just get back from a 4 day trip to Destin Florida. Wife and I flew into New Orleans (which is the single shittiest airport I've ever been to), rented a car and drove the coast to Destin. Once there we spent time on the white sand beaches which were beautiful though the water was pretty high with algee to the point where the water was a deep green. It was also beautiful though it made swimming interesting.
We took two charters out on the water, I caught a 17lb Red Snapper and a 27lb Grouper and a bunch of other smaller stuff. I sold the Snapper and we took the Grouper to Deweys and they cooked it for us and I fed a bunch of people (mostly strangers). Fished off the piers, got drunk on crab islands sand bar, and all in all, had a great time. Wife and I ate enough seafood to almost give ourselves mercury poisoning.
I got back last night, I miss it already. As someone who grew up on the great lakes, I love it here. I love the lakes a lot but they aren't anything alike other than they are large bodies of water. I can't wait to go back, this time further south and more tropical.
