Day Trip: Fishing Hall of Fame

Day Tripping with Gumbo Limbo is taking on another dimension; we are actively trying to make the travel part of the trips environmentally correct. Our autumn trips require a minimum of gas dependency. Trains are one of the ways we hope to take advantage of our historical and natural wonders. The cost of the trips covers entrance fees, donations and/or gratuities. TriRail train fare and lunch is at your own expense. A week prior to each trip participants will be contacted regarding train schedules and meeting times.

Fishing Hall of Fame
Adults only.  A documentary film about sharks is the focus of Gumbo Limbo’s day at the museum. The International Fishing Hall of Fame, located at the south end of Ft Lauderdale, is an interesting place to visit anytime but this trip is a special occasion to see Sharkwater. This timely picture depicts what the film makers discovered: these fascinating wild creatures have gone from predator to prey….”despite surviving the earth’s history of mass extinctions they could easily be wiped out within a few years due to human greed.” A shark conservation exhibit complements the film.  Across the parking lot from the museum is the Islamorada Fish Company for lunch and Outdoor World’s mind-boggling store of outdoor related gear.  The Tri Rail station is just a short walk from both the museum and lunch.
