Heading out tomorrow on a long roundabout road trip adventure from Minnesota to SW Florida, via Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, and Asheville, NC. 

Looking forward to catching sea trout and redfish in Charlotte Bay with MT!

Beautiful place with some great paddling opportunities and  fishing.
Has become a yearly pilgrimage for me.

Hmm, not bringing a canoe.   Will I regret not having one?

A kayak is probably the craft of choice. There are a couple of rentals in Matlacha as you cross onto Pine Island. If you are going to be there for a few days IM me and I can fill you in on some highlights.
Here is a link to some photos.

No pressure MT!  Just perfect water, perfect weather, and limits of redfish and trout.  I'm easy.
