Flight to florida from montreal (quebec), 430$ (fort lauderdale.) Taxi to the glades 50$ Holliday park camping, 20,90$ per night boat rental 14 foot john with a 9,9, 45$ per day. so thats under 700$ for a fishing trip if we are 2, and 900$ if I am alone, food and booze roughly 200$ per person, its a good 900$ if we are 2 and 1100$ if I am alone, wich leaves 400$ to rent a better boat. How are you guys seeing 1500$ is not enough.... ><

Well I am currently looking at deals on flights "intra" us, wich means driving to an hotel, parking and flying to the destination. I am currently looking at a few availabilities and I'll give you the costs overall thus far. Lets say I was to travail to atlanta, I can book 2way trip from boston to atlanta for 200$, florida for 250$, +149$ for the hotel(parking included for 2 weeks), lets say we are two, cut down in half, then drive by car is another 200$ cut by two, so 100$. 20$ for extra luggage (fishing gear and maybe tent), so Im roughly looking at 500$ per person to get to either atlanta or florida. (wich is probably the equivalent of if I was going to get there by car, and half the trouble). Of course getting to the destination by taxi and getting back is probably another 200$, so 100$ cut in half With our budget combined (his is smaller) That leaves roughly 1200$ for cabins/camping/food/fishing boat, im looking to rent the boat for 4-5 days top, considering the trouble of getting there and getting out. There is lake lanier in atlanta that seems interesting enough, and in affordable price there is the everglades in florida. (okachobee being the #1 choice, but seems way overpriced for renting decent boats) Any insight on wich will be cheaper/better to stay and have better rates on boats? Looking for a boat with an electric motor and a battery... Although people seem to discourage me considering my budget, the numbers aren't really looking that bad. Thanks a bunch

I would strongly advise against eating a bass fillet. Simply because. Such a blasphema.

Hey! My name is Julien, I am currently looking for a vacation spot in the U.S. in order to go bass fishing. As you probably know, bass fishing can be very expensive when you don't know where to look / don't have a boat, and this is basicaly where I am at right now. First of all, I am looking for a vacation from 1st of april to the 8th of april aproximatly, I might get to my location by car or plane, depending on what is available. (I can't move these dates) I need to know where to find the information on what is legal/illegal for fishing in various states, and if I need a special permit since I am canadian, is there a federal site available for this? I do not have a boat, I don't necesserely want to rent a bass boat or a great boat, I simply need something to go aroud on the water, see me as a "back-pack" fisherman. Everything I have looked at thus far from lake okachobee to georgia's small lakes is quite overpriced (from my point of view). I am looking for something that can go under 1,5k for a week (including plane/car trip), the less expensive / quality the better, including lodging, eating. If the location offers a bit of villegiature or other activities, they are a plus but not a must, as I will be going alone. Now this might be unorthodox, but if some one would be ready to recieve me at their home, it might end up being alot less expensive. I am 25 year old, I am a guy, I am an auditor at an accounting firm and I can gladly send my Curriculum and some information that will let you verify this, you can feel very secure that this isn't any form of scam and I am ready to go lenghty ways in order to prove that I am in fact honest and not dangerous, of course this would have to go both ways to some extent. This is basicaly where I stand, I find it hard to find information on the internet with the ongroing advertisments. Any type of point of view, on where to go, how to do it etc... are welcome, I am not acustom to the U.S. waters. I will glady give french courses to any one who helps me or recieves me! Also, if any one wants information on Quebec fishing, from bass/trout to musky/pike I will gladly help, we have great ice fishing location in the winter and some of the greatest musky lakes in the world for summer fishing! Hopefuly I did not transgress any forum rules! Thank you for your time and good luck fishing!
