South Florida Day 0

Today was a day of movement, a journey more about discovery than the serious pursuit of fish.

After settling into our hotel, we couldn’t resist the call of the nearby waters, so we cast our lines into the canal right outside, where the urban landscape met the wild. The city seemed to fade away as we slipped into the rhythm of casting and reeling, every splash of the lure a reminder that adventure is where you find it.

Our search for the notorious snakehead took us to an unlikely spot—a quiet canal behind a convenience store, whispered about among those who know the area’s secrets. The air was thick with anticipation as we cast into the murky waters, each ripple a promise of something lurking beneath.

But the real catch of the day wasn’t in the water—it was at Sunrise Pita & Grill, where we savored a falafel sandwich that was nothing short of legendary. The flavors were as bold and unforgettable as any fish we might have caught, a feast worthy of the journey.

On the way back to the hotel, we couldn’t resist exploring one more canal, each stop adding another layer to the tapestry of the day. Tomorrow, we face the wild heart of Florida—Alligator Alley awaits, with its endless possibilities and untamed landscapes. Today was just the beginning.
