Location, Location, Location. Even though we're not buying real estate, where you decide to stay is pretty important in the grand "catch" of things.

Almost as important to finding "where" the fish are, is finding "where" you're going to bed down after a long day on the water. The venues we picked to film from for Florida Sportsman and Shallow Water Angler TV have two things in common, good fishing and quality accommodations close by.

You can't go wrong by choosing any of the following locations to plan your next fish-vacation.
