What type of fishing?

If you went to Marathon, Florida, that's supposedly some fishing capital of the world. You can also fish off the 7 mile bridge and catch all sorts of things. Its the point where the Gulf and Ocean seem to meet and it produces some wicked currents and sea life appears to like that.

If you go to Pahokee, on Lake Okeechobee, supposedly that is some of the better bass fishing, although, with the recent turmoil over the lake, call first.

There are headboats that leave out of Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, etc.

On the West Coast I'm sure Tampa/St. Pete will have some piers near hotels.

You might find it a bit difficult to find a hotel that has a pier right there, but, walking distance/short drive you should be able to look around most of the state depending on what you want to fish for.

note: I'm not a fishing person, but, have a friend that is.
