no more Michigan Winters.
I always thought I’d buy a place on the west coast (Florida) but after spending some time here at Vero I’d have to rethink it.
I am curious about what appears to be a reef or shoal which is about a mile off the beach.
This morning I could see the waves breaking on it pretty hard.
Anybody know what it is?

Lived in Naples for 30 years before I moved back up to Michigan, got too crowded and old for me.Not to mention the Gulf being screwed up by them Dumping the river in it all summer.

Ive been visiting my buddy in St Pete a bunch and like it but I think next move is going to be the Cocoa beach area or something near on the East coast.

Hoping for a little more moderate temps in the summer with the Gulf Stream so close .

Yea we fished in Estero Bay a couple of days two weeks ago.
Great Snook and Redfish area but geez, traffic moves at a snails pace and someone might sit at a light through a whole cycle before they realize it turned green.

So it’s shallow a long ways out.

They used to have a "land on the beach" option at a local bar. Bar closed so you have to land at the actual airport now.

They post all their videos online too...........this was a clear day and you could see all the water around

Yeah I saw sky divers and their chutes in the back of trucks going through town more than once.
As in they missed their target.

Only two killed while we lived there.

The year before we jumped there were 24 deaths nationwide, 12 were later determined to be suicides/stunts gone wrong. So 12 accidental deaths seemed like pretty good odds for millions of jumps.
