well, I can throw in a location for the poll.
Shell Island Fish Camp, has a boat ramp, fuel, bait, mechanic and rooms to stay in for very inexpensive.
You can be in the gulf via the Wakulla River in about 10 mins. Lots of good fishing etc.
But as I said I am willing to travel up to 4 hours from my home. Just thought I would throw in a good local area for thought. I have no affilitation with the people who run this camp. Actually, I trade with Shields Marina which is up the river from them, but they don't have rooms, but have a nice marina, fuel and ship store.
