Summer is knocking on the door: days of sunshine, warm temperatures, blue skies and great fishing lay ahead.

Some outdoorsy types are already racing to take advantage of the laid-back weather by booing a charter or making plans to stroll down to the creek and return to the age-old pastime of baiting a hook and putting it in the water.

The Municipal reviewed the Fishing Booker Blog for a list of the 10 best U.S. cities to do some angling. Late last year, the site compiled a total of 12 destinations that offer opportunities from onshore fishing to world-class deep sea spots.

It’s something the Fishing Booker staff does every year in the late months so that avid fishermen have time over the winter to plan their summer getaways.

The list includes the best of both saltwater and freshwater locations. So get the tacklebox resupplied and make plans to visit one of these fish-filled praises in 2023!
