Traveling Speech Language Pathologist Jobs
A traveling SLP is a speech language pathologist who rather than enroll in a hospital, clinic, or other institution for full time employment, is placed on assignment anywhere in the United States. This has fantastic benefits but there are a couple of draw backs as well. What you have to determine is how the benefits compare to the challenges and the best course of action for you to take.
Pros of Becoming a Traveling Speech Language Pathologist
One of the obvious benefits of travel is the opportunity to see gorgeous parts of America and to live there. If you are a resident of North Dakota, you may feel that you are ready for the Florida Keyes, or perhaps, you already live in Florida and have always wanted to experience the beauty of the Great Lakes through the seasons. As a traveling slp, you can determine to stay for a short or a long time, and, if you are looking for a full time position you may find that you are welcome to stay as a permanent employee.
Another major pro for the traveling slp is the compensation. A traveling slp is paid very well, often better than the full time position which they left. All that unhappiness is behind you. With excellent pay and benefits, you have a whole new lease on your career as a speech therapist and your life. With travel, you can meet new people and come to love new environments, always fresh. It is a wonderful experience to have your employers so grateful for your presence.
The living situation for traveling speech language pathologist jobs is excellent. Your accommodations are provided, your travel is compensated in full and all you have to do is embark on your new adventure. Often a traveling slp will be housed in beautiful executive long term accommodations so that you have all the amenities of home with TV, appliances, laundry facilities and if you like to hike or fish, or boat or take in the cultural events, you will have ample opportunity on your days off.
Challenges of Being a Traveling Speech Language Pathologist
There are no drawbacks for the person who loves to travel and has no need to put their roots down and establish a nest in a permanent location. This is the perfect solution for the traveling speech language pathologist who seeks adventure and new surroundings. For the therapist who has a family and wants to remain close to home, there are a few challenges in becoming a traveling slp, but nothing un-surmountable.
For a mother or father or any speech language pathologist who has a family member to whom they wish to remain close, there is a solution. Currently there are mothers who travel a few miles every day and are able to return each night so that they are never far from their families. This is very much like a regular commuting job so that all you have to do is to choose an assignment that allows you to have your quality family time.

Florida Key Jobs
Commercial Fishing in the Florida Keys Part 1
Florida Keys Saltwater Fly Fishing
In the early days of saltwater fly fishing,anglers would use a heavy freshwater set-up.A (Steel head or King Salmon rod),and a reel that would require you to cup the reel with your hand, to apply drag or resistenc to a hard running fish .Things have changed,although the heavy freshwater stuff would get the job done,and to some degree it still does,you can get saltwater equipment to handle just about any fly fishing you would like to do.
In the Florida Keys anglers use these saltwater fly fish set-ups to catch :Tarpon,dolphin(mahi-mahi),tuna,bonefish,permit,snook ,even sailfish and marlin.In saltwater,most of the time, larger wet-flies are used to resemble shrimp,crabs,baitfish,but there are times when saltwater species will feed on the surface on poppers and surface flies similar to freshwater fly fishing.
When fishing for the offshore species like sailfish and marlin,anglers use a technique called ""teasing" ,(trolling a hookless lure to get the fish close-enough to the boat to be with-in casting distance,or "chumming" with baitfish to get the fish close to the boat.
The old method of cupping the fly reel to slow these big boys down,on a long run,will not work.You will need a saltwater fly reel with a drag system and a saltwater fly rod ,to get the job done here,along with a heavier corrosive-resistant body design.As with any type of saltwater fishing equipment corrosion-resistance and durability are a necessity.Saltwater fly fishing equipment is not cheap so expect to pay for good stuff !
In the Florida Keys saltwater fly fishing is typically done from a flats boat,(shallow draft boat),for species such as tarpon,bonefish,permit,snook,and redfish,or from a deep-vee offshore boats for dorado,sailfish,marlin,tuna,and other pelagic species,and also can be done from shore with waders on the many flats that are available from the parking/fishing areas.
Most Trout fly fisherman can do very well with this type of fishing .You will have to be accurate,because most of this fishing is sight fishing,and once you spot a fish or school of fish you will have to be accurate with your cast to position the fly in the path of a moving fish.Polarized sunglasses are a must have ,to see in the water for movement .More than likely you will be fishing on the flats during high water,and they can be very spooky when cruising the flats,so being quiet with the boat and push-pole and make accurate casts.
The Florida Keys water is very clear and there is nothing like watching a huge Tarpon hone-in on that perfect presentation you just made with your fly,and exploding out-of the water like a missile.Man,you know your in for the fight of your life ! Good Luck !
