    Help us decide where to vacation (fishing mandatory) this summer!

    Hello! We're trying to decide where the best spot would be for a summer fishing vacation and would love some suggestions. We have 4 (young adult/teenage) kids that would possibly be going with us so it would be nice to find a place with other things to do as well. The Abacos are a possibility since we can take our boat but we would also consider some place where we could rent a boat if it was within reason. We've also thought about North Carolina's lakes since the kids like to wakeboard. We plan to spend about two weeks including traveling time. Any ideas?!

    Kauai,

    i took our fours boys stayed for two weeks
    Bone fishing on north shore and big game fishing all over

    We taught our kids to scuba dive while there.
    they were in class and wife and I had time to ourselves.

    You live in florida i guess, so it would be different kind of fishing somewhat. Pacific

    Going down the New river fishing for small mouth, by boat and spend the nights out on the river

    I also go to Canada fishing for Smallmouth and Muskie
    Lake of the woods. I don't think they have that down there

    I'm planning a trip to the Abacos this June so it ranks up there
    bringing my boat down and crusing over

    We were just in Maui at the beginning of December & loved it! Didn't get to go fishing since they had a tropical storm the first two days we were there & we were only there 5 days.

    I have not been to Maui, We enjoyed Kauai and are plannming to spend two weeks there again starting on Christmas day.

    Vacations are what makes working worth it. Take long vacations and enjoy.

    Family fishing I would definitely check out Bermuda. One of our Great Sponsors Wound Up Sportfishing http://woundupbermuda.com/ is as good as they come.
    Some of his Pictures
    Wound Up does Blue Marlin

    Wound Up Wahoo

    Another sponsor of ours for your lodging needs is the Pompano Beach Club.

    Please Take a look. Thank You and Have a great day.

    Try San Pedro, Belize. I just got back from there it was incredible. it is off the beaten path but everybody is friendly you will feel like a local after the first two days.

    Bermuda is a nice choice,

    I stayed at Elbow Beach when I went. Beautiful beach. Bit of advice.......get the meal plan. Taking a cab to dinner every day plus the prices there, you will be glad you did. I dont know that they will cook your catch there, [British] but you can snorkle in the surf. I had to get out of the water when they touched me on the leg. I guess maybe I should have shaved my legs.
