My question is about fishing. I enjoy fishing, and have a lot invested in it, between equipment, time, and a boat (19 ft center console). How far do I have to travel from the Villages to get into decent fishing? I'm talking saltwater, freshwater, bays, lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.(fishing is fishing!)
Thanks,

Hi Gary:
Great Saltwater fishing just one hour West in Crystal River area. Light tackle spinning or fly can be effective there for redfish, specks/seatrout, Snook etc. The Keys are only 5 hours south on the Turnpike.
More great 🐟 3 hours away in Boca Grande, Pine Island areas
Including all listed above plus Tarpon.
You'll Love it here! I previously fished Venice, LA when I lived in South Louisiana...
