Crystal River is an hour's drive. I keep my boat over there for fishing. It is a great area for a day trip. It would also make for a fun trip for visiting friends or relatives ... especially grandkids.

What a great idea!

I like golf, but I LOVE fishing!

What kind of fishing do you do?

What kind of fish do you catch?

Where do you keep you boat? A marina?

We've investigated the Crystal River area online. Houses are inexpensive compared to TV, but half the houses in the n'hoods are vacant. Better to know your n'hood BEFORE you buy, than to buy and see what the n'hood developes into.

If I can figure out how to post photos I'll post some fishing photos of my last trip into the Alaskan bush for silver salmon.
