anyone got any fun places you like to visit for vacation? Was thinking about Peacock Bass fishing in florida but thats prolly not gonna work out. last year we took the boat and stayed at a VRBO on cedar creek. Was OK. Just OK.
Two years before stayed in a VRBO on the white river and hired a guide. Great time, Been twice now. Looking for something different. Any ideas?

Close by/relatively close by?

Broken Bow is a beautiful lake, or Lake Hamilton in AR near Hot Springs.

Fairly close, within driving distance from central texas.

Texoma. Might be able to hook up with a Striper guide up there, one of my favorite “local” lakes.

St. Bart's if you can fly.

Ruidoso NM if you need to drive.

both are excellent

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

Every person should at least try and go Tarpon fishing around the Rat's Mouth area.

I imagine PK looks like chocolate milk right now, but there's some nice places to VRBO off 2951 and you've got boat ramps and places to eat and drink pretty close if you're not wanting to cook.

We've been going up to Table Rock/Bull Shoals once a year for probably the past 8 or so years to visit my wife's cousin's family. We usually rent a house on the lake and the kids run around and swim. This year some friends are also coming so we're staying at some Marina/Condo. We rent a pontoon, I pulled a bass boat up there once and vowed to never pull another boat around that part of the country if I can help it.

The same friends and us have been throwing around doing something at Lake Murray, but haven't pulled the trigger. Another really nice lake not too far away.

I think everyone should go visit Yellowstone once in their life. When you enter there it seems you have entered into another world. Some of the sites there are breath-taken.

Do they have good deals at those stores, or is Total Wine and Spirits better?

broken bow cabins, trout fish the river and smallmouth etc. in the lake.

eat at shuck me. rent a canoe and float/fish the river (very easy float with some great trout fishing when I went).

2nd option, derek's house and watch the bees make honey and help him in his garden. take some extra natties for a real good time.
