Looking for an idea a bit futher south - late February

Wife and I want to get some salt about the last week of February- we get to spend 4-6 weeks scattered thur out the year at SGI each year- we love it there - we are trying to plan a last week of Feb trip- concern is it can still be pretty cool at SGI at that point- March averages (according to TWC) are 70/50^ - throw in a front and you looking thur the windows instead of being outside.
Any suggestion a few hours further south? We will drive from Tennessee.
Maybe we should wait a month- I don't want to wait another month......
If we do go to SGI - I will go ahead and bring the boat down to leave at Apalach for the summer- so that has some appeal too though it is still early for much of anything but sheepies.
Thoughts?? Thanks

Are you looking to relax and enjoy a new place with some casual boating/fishing mixed in or...
Are you looking to go somewhere with a hot bite for that time of year?
Have you ever been to Panama City? It's really nice that time of year and hardly any people. Plus, you can catch as many bull reds as you want from the jetties by boat or by land. Poke offshore 5 or 6 miles and you can get into flounder and Ambjerack very easily on one of hundreds of public reefs.
If your looking for something a little more quaint, Grayton Beach is just up 98 on your way to Destin. Very neat seaside community. Only problem there is access to offshore fishing is only via PC or Destin.
Just my .02. If your looking to go further south, maybe Crystal River?
SNOOK are the bomb. :hail
Tons of places right on the water to stay.....for all budgets and taste. It should be full on early spring down there at that time.

I think we will just wait till last minute and let the weather set our schedule to go to SGI- hard to improve on SGI.
We did this 2 years ago and caught 3-4 days of upper 70's in late Feb.
Now gotta get boat ready - which is not that easy as todays high is 32^-
I also believe the fishing there is very good.
