A couple of times per year I head out with a group of guys from the group MenWhoBlog<\/a>. We go somewhere for a few days for a guy\u2019s trip. So far, I have been to Nevada<\/a>, where we indulged in a local delicacy, Irving, Tx<\/a> and most recently Punta Gorda\/Englewood Florida and the surrounding area.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing is for sure. The Punta Gorda\/Englewood Florida area offers a lot to do and while 48 hours isn\u2019t nearly enough time to enjoy everything, you can really have a lot of fun and take advantage of a lot the area has to offer. During a 48 hour stay in Punta Gorda\/Englewood Florida I was able to squeeze all of this in and it just made me want to return and spend more time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things To Do In Punta Gorda<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Military Heritage Museum\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I have always been interested in military history. It is fascinating to see what previous generations did in order to serve their country. No matter what your political thoughts are or your feeling towards any particular conflict, if you strip that away it is all about the people who served and what they went through. The Military Heritage Museum in Punta Gorda Florida <\/a>is geared towards honoring all veterans from all branches of service and using artifacts gathered over several years, to educate the public on the contributions of these veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Museum is open Monday thru Saturday\u00a0 10am \u2013 5pm Sunday 12pm \u2013 5pm and is located at 900 West Marion Avenue, Punta Gorda Florida<\/span><\/p>\n

Tarpon Fishing With Fish on Charters\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

What would a trip\u00a0 to Florida be without going on a Florida fishing charter<\/a>? Punta Gorda is a popular destination for Tarpon fishing and Boca Grande Pass is known as the Tarpon Capitol of the World and Fish on Charters makes it easy and fun to try your luck at landing the big one. While they run fishing charters where you can fish for all types of fish such as Redfish, Snook and others, their most popular and fun is Tarpon fishing. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tarpon<\/p>\n

Tarpon can weigh 150lbs or so and landing one takes some time. Once on the line they will put you through a battle that could last an hour where they break the water jumping into the air. The trick to being able to land a tarpon is having a captain that knows the area, can find the fish and knows the right bait to use to catch one. Fishing charters are run year round with Tarpon being targeted from May to October. Captain Jordan Ingman can run charters day or night and I guarantee you will have a lot of fun. You can contact Captain Jordan at (941) 626-7140 email jordaningman@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n
