Fishing Fishing

Located in Florida’s famed “panhandle,” Tallahassee offers anglers easy access to an impressive collection of lakes, several flowing rivers and the entire Gulf of Mexico just to its south. That makes it ideal for a weekend of fishing no matter what you’re hoping to catch, or what your skills might be.

From the shore on atop your favorite watercraft, Lake Piney Z, Lake Talquin and Lake Jackson offer freshwater fishing galore. Bream, bass and other species can be found if you know where to look. Meanwhile, the waters of the Wakulla, Aucilla, Wacissa and Ochlocknee Rivers are an amazing place to paddle. They traverse the region, fed by freshwater springs and filled with fish capable anglers will be able to attract and land. For guidance, Harry Smith Outdoors offers everything from turnkey trips where he supplies all the gear to guide services where he’ll share his local knowledge and love of the outdoors.

A short drive to the coast brings fishermen to Alligator Point, Carrabelle, St. Marks and other Gulf fishing towns where charters are easily arranged for a day of deep-sea angling or flats fishing for everything from trophy fish to tasty species like mackerel, jacks, trout and more.
