How is the fishing in Titusville? 
With a nickname like Space City USA, fishing might seem a secondary component of this Florida community. Titusville is in close proximity to NASA and a great place to watch rocket launches, but it is also a premium fishing destination. The city is located on the banks of the north Indian River, part of the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) that runs south all the way to Stuart. The lagoon itself is considered the most diverse estuary in all of North America. Titusville is also preciously close to the world famous Mosquito Lagoon, also a part of the IRL.
The area is home to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Canaveral National Seashore. The refuge alone is worth a trip to Titusville. Visitors will find 140,000 acres of land made up of brackish estuaries and marshes, coastal dunes, scrub oaks, pine forests and flatwoods, and palm and oak hammocks. Add the Canaveral National Seashore to the package and it’s easy to see that Titusville has something to offer everyone, not just anglers.

Thar’s Fun in Them Thar Hills
My school boy recollection of Tennessee conjures up memories of Daniel Boone, coonskin caps and an unexplored wilderness. It seemed to me a wild country with many opportunities to explore. For anyone with a sense of adventure and a love for the outdoors it is still a place of awe and opportunity.
Any visitor will praise the 
wonder of its beauty; any hunter
or fisher will praise the opportunity of its outdoor resources.
Autumn produces unbelievably stunning color changes in the hills near Johnson City. The foliage season alone makes a trip to the area worthwhile. The leaves change from green to golden hues of yellow and orange interspersed with vibrant shades of red. Nowhere does Mother Nature do a better job of transforming simple leaves into brilliant and dazzling centerpieces of color.

Fishing,
beaches, wildlife, golf and the great outdoors: Destination Naples
Family getaways are often focused around an individual activity, maybe one that a single family member prefers. So, why not choose a destination for your next adventure that will please everyone in your party.
Fishing is always number one in our family retreats and traveling to Florida's west coast is always an enjoyable event. A favorite destination is Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades.

People are talking about two of Florida’s most popular fish.
How do you feel about the silver king? How 
about bonefish? A series
of workshops and a webinar related to these important Florida fish are coming
soon to an arena near you.
The purpose of these workshops is to solicit public input on possible changes to the Commission’s tarpon rules (Chapter 68B-32, F.A.C.) and bonefish rules (Chapter 68B-34, F.A.C.). Specifically, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will be gathering public comments on a proposal to make tarpon and bonefish catch and release only throughout Florida’s state and federal waters. They want to hear from you.
