Hurricane Idalia dealt a blow (get it?) to Southwest Florida fishing efforts this week. But the outlook for a new fall season, beginning Friday, is remarkably bright.
Fishing's pretty good around Southwest Florida in waters salt and fresh. And as this week's ON VACAY segment attests, it's been great for local folk branching out from the Florida Keys to Venice, Louisiana.
We're betting you didn't notice the official passing of the Dog Days of Summer on Aug. 11. That's when the dog star, Sirius, was supposed to turn down the heat. Oh well!
Whew, boy! Fishin's hot, if you can stand the heat. One way to beat it is by joining Florida's 150,000+ lobster divers in the Keys or in Southwest Florida's offshore waters.
