[brooklyn fish]

I have some business in Orlando in mid January. Would like to take a week after that for some fishing. Question is where. Have been to Hutchinson Island and caught some whiting and other small stuff. Can only bring a 7 foot and a 6.5 foot spinning rod with 17 pound test. Any recommendations would be helpful. Is algae a problem?

There is a Red Tide problem in the Gulf of Mexico . . . I suggest that you head over to the East Coast.

My recommendation would be Sebastian Inlet, about 1hr, 45 min from Orlando. ******'s Bait & Tackle, just North of the Inlet is excellent !

I second the sebastian inlet/melbourne beach area, paradise for me. I would downsize your line, 17lb test will kill your casting distance.

Thanks greg12345; will bring one reel with 12 pound test line.
Any recommended motels near there?
