Vacation Destination---opinion needed

We are taking the kids to live on a house boat for a week in some huge lake in northern Arkansas. Looks pretty cool from what I see so far!

My wife and I rented a 42 ft. houseboat in Ft. Myers Fla. for a week.
It had 3 double beds on it and a real nice galley.

That is pretty boring once you've been skydiving!

Go to Perdido Key. Lot cheaper than Destin and better fishing on the inside and the beach. Lot less people too.

Perdido Key or Orange Beach. THey are across the bridge from each other.

We stayed at the Mariner Condo's on Perdido Key. They have a lauch and dock on the other side of the road on the bay side. We launched the boat and left her in the water all week. You can go to eat and drink from the water and never drive the truck.

yeh my buddy went to perdido this past summer with his family. he and his brother caught like 30 flounder in the surf directly in front their condo. all on gulp 3" pearl white shrimp

Mariner Condo's. The bottom 2 floors were wiped out by Ivan, but they rebuilt.
You can get a beach house too.
The island is right on the Ala./Fla. line.

[Ray]

In April, you can catch Ling in the surf.

It cost around $2000 plus some diesel and food.
We stayed on the anchor a couple nights and the rest was at marina's and one night
at Cabbage Key in the bay.

Looks like jordan could do some trolling behind some skrimp boats with that house boat. Nice back deck
