With tens of thousands of miles of shoreline and over 7500 lakes, there are countless areas to fish in the Sunshine State of Florida. And even if you’re a beginner, you’ll hardly ever come home empty handed.

Whether you’ll be fishing on the west coast in the Gulf of Mexico or the east coast in the Atlantic Ocean, the opportunities are endless. There are hundreds of varieties of fish from tarpon, to grouper, to snapper, to shark – so you’ll never get bored.

In addition to our quality charter fishing system, the Sunshine State is also home to a number of independently owned bait and tackle shops that provide gear and supplies along with important information. Local fishing shops are the best source for reliable information, including where specific types of fish are and what bait is best for catching them. So, come try it for yourself and experience first hand how fun Florida fishing really is!

The Color Turquoise ~ Use It in 2010

lipply — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:30:07 +0000

Think tropical beaches, rich hues of the ocean and palm trees lining sand. Many vivid colors come to mind. This year Pantone has unveiled their color for 2010 and it’s Turquoise. This rich blue and green color goes perfect in Florida. It’s a perfect mix of the cool blue sky and gorgeous ocean. Florida is known for its tropical colors and this inviting hue is rich, tranquil and inviting. It would look good as a color for both men and women which both find appealing. Sometimes a color is too feminine and men shy away from using it. But not Turquoise. It fits both equally. Many top designers have seen this trend coming. Bridesmaid dresses, elegant attire and even top jewelry company Tiffany all use turquoise as a staple in their lines.

When you think of fashion it’s a great statement. For clothing, shoes, purses or jewelry it makes the item pop. One of the top fashion trends in recent years has been the reoccurrence of turquoise jewelry. Big chunky necklaces paired with a black top, make the turquoise set off the look. And don’t forget about paint. Turn a boring bathroom into a tropical paradise with turquoise paint, paired with some sea shells in a bowl, and you have an oasis in your home. Or take a dull bedroom, paint the walls a neutral tone, and then purchase a turquoise bedspread and watch your room come to life. Painting in a neutral tone and using colored accents makes it easy to change if you bore of a color. Another recent trend is to pair turquoise and brown. This combination brings together those natural colors that remind you of nature. You can use this pair for fashion, decorating or even outdoor paint.

So when looking to make a change to your home, wardrobe or just a new accessory…don’t forget about this soothing rich color. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy using turquoise in everyday aspects of your life.

So if tropical turquoise beaches are on your list for 2010, we have ‘em! Contact us about the opportunities available here for Florida Real Estate.

Florida is a Happy Place

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a survey of more 1.3 million people across the United States over the past four years regarding their happiness level of their lifestyle and where they live. FLORIDA ranked #3 in the study with Louisiana and Hawaii in the #1 and #2 position respectively. Well, of course the study started before Katrina hit Louisiana so that answers that and there’s no question about Hawaii in many people’s minds. Having been to Hawaii I can understand how retires could be happy there, but I am still trying to figure out how young singles are content and happy with high cost of living and small islands. Regardless sunny, warm, outdoorsy living is where people report happiness. Being able to go outside and enjoy simple things like taking the dog for a walk, sipping your morning coffee on the pool deck, and watching the sun set are all things that we Floridians sometimes take for granted.

The least “happy” states are Michigan, Connecticut and New York. Of course, with the harsh winters and gray skies, who can blame them. While they are digging out from a blizzard, we are playing golf or tennis here in Florida.

Move to Florida and put on your happy face!
