Thank you, and everyone for the great advice! Im looking forward to much needed R&R and bent rods after this deployment. Even had a rod and reel sent to me so I could just cast into the dirt, I have the itch for sure!. Ill be sure to post pictures and information on how I did when I return back from our trip. THANKS AGAIN!

We will be staying in west palm beach for a couple of days and then making our way down to the keys. I don't mind traveling a little bit to find a good place that she can cast easy from shore. Thanks everyone for the help it really is greatly appreciated.

Is it worth getting a guide for lake Toho or Okeechobee? Or can you fish from shore at either or some close by ponds for some good ones?

Ill be in south Florida come the last week of September, can anyone offer any canal fishing/small pond advice on places/baits to fish from shore. My girlfriend and I will have a couple of days to fish and we would love the chance to catch some good large mouths and even a peacock! Any advice and suggestion is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I do want to try and get on a school of smallies out there. I saw the bags of fish they were pulling in there last year on tv and holy cow! That's incredible. Plus I don't think the girlfriend has ever caught a walleye so that will be cool.

I think ill start up north at mille lacs for that bassmaster event. never been to one that would be cool and my gpa has a cabin on pool 10 of the Mississippi river so ill hang there for a while and do some fishing there. After im headed south... Guntersville, Okeechobee for sure.. im thinking EUFAULA maybe.... Thought on Eufaula? on the way home to CO ill be stopping into fork and Toledo bend! Gonna be such a good trip.

So I'm in a fortune situation, ill be coming home from a deployment in a few months and I plan on spending a few weeks traveling and trying to hit some of these lakes I never thought that I would be able to hit. I really wanna vist Fork and Okeechobee but I don't know how to narrow down my bucket list lol there is like 30 lakes on it.

So I have been wondering for a while now, if I had lets say 30 days, to hit as many lakes anywhere in the country, where would I go to fish? Lake fork has always been a dream of mine but so has Okeechobee, Guntersville, Kentucky, Chickamauga, Mille Lacs...I mean the list goes on and on. So I propose this question to yall. You and your boat, 30 days to fish where do you go any why? Bucket list lakes?
