I used to live there. Take a short drive up to Lake Okeechobee. Fish the rim canal. Best fishing hole on the planet. A canal cuts through to the Atlantic. Brackish water, you'll never know what you'll come across! Look out for the gators. They'll steal your basket if you ain't careful. The lake itself is not very deep, but it can be fun, too. The rim canal is 20 feet deep. Have fun!
