Again, I can't give an exact location for this one either, but this time it's just because there are so many options as to where you can set up your little fishing picnic.
The C-14 canal runs across Broward County in several places, and is full of an array of fish waiting to chomp on your hook and bait. I don't recommend you come to catch dinner, but catch and release fishing is a great way to spend the day and catch some rays.
I have two favorite spots along the canal. First is Veteran's Park in Tamarac, which sits on the corner of Southgate Boulevard and University drive. There is a boat ramp here as well, so if land fishing isn't your thing you can trailer a small boat and lauch it here. The second spot is at the dead end of Atlantic Boulevard and the Sawgrass Expressway. When you come to the intersection turn left like you are entering the highway, but pull over in the sandy area and walk along the path to the canal.
Either way you choose, bring one pole per person and a ton of bait, especially if you are not a seasoned fisherman. Carry along a blanket or towel, as well as drinks and food. Relax the rest of the day away.
I know this isn't the usual bar/club entry I usually do, but after trying this out the past weekend it's something I can't not to share. And if you're not into the fishing but a friend/partner is, go along for the food and drinks. It's a great way to get a romantic picnic out of your boyfriend, I bet he won't even notice.
Just a note, a great place to pick up some cheap bait and tackle out west is Lloyds Tackle on Rock Island Road and Southgate Boulevard. It's cheap, but the best part is Lloyd actually works there and will help you out if you're unsure on what you need. He even gives quick lessons and tips for newcomers.
