New to thread ! need some help..

Post by Grasso »

hey guys.. I'm new to the forums and im stoaked to be here.. ive been fishing now with out a boat for about 2 years.. and there is something about it that is very relaxing.. So it calms my nerves after work all day.. With my job and all i do a ton of traveling.. During my job traveling i stop off on the side of the road often and i bring my "fishing gear" in the trunk, so i fish or an hour or so.. sometimes it requires some off roading =) but i have a winch .. my favorite spots to fish are spillways/dams/waterfall type places.. i live in orlando FL, but travel all through out florida.. ill post some pictures of my favorite places to fish.. maby you guys can help me out and tell me some similar spots.. Thanks ! Get out there and catch some fish !!

Welcome onshore. Those are some great looking places to fish.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

Welcome. Just by looking at the pictures I want to get my feet wet. That place looks like Skunk Ape country.

It also looks like a place where Bolo might find a number of feral cats for his next cat fried rice. :mrgreen:

I don't know of any dams down this way. The spillways(when they are flowing) would be more up your alley. It's just a matter of getting to them when the gates are open.

lol Nessa has a loooooong way to go before she could even think about catching me. Plus if I posted more I'd never get any work done.

Welcome, not sure of any dams in So Fla either, but I used to fish this one in Virginia growing up, it was on the Potomac river about 1/4 mile upstream of Great Falls, which are a huge, deadly set of waterfalls. Great fishing, I caught many big smallmouth bass and walleye from this exact spot in the picture and the rocks below, but if you fell into the swift current you were pretty much screwed. :shock:
