Hi, I'm a newbie and need help. My brother has got me into freshwater fishing. I'm new to Jacksonville Fl. so I'm not sure where I'm allowed to fish and what's best. I see tons of water spots but I don't know if I can just stop and fish or what. Shoot I'm still learning all the basics of fishing, so any advice would be appreciated. What's the best lures/ baits

 

N Florida Mike should be along, I'm sure he can fill you in

Hey Todd, Welcome. To start with,you can fish the urban parks in the Jax. Area.Many of them have ponds/small lakes.Some are managed by the state and are stocked. Just Google Jax. Urban ponds and you should get some info.

What part of town do you live in ? I assume you are bank fishing.

Saltwater fishing is great too in our area.

I started surf fishing when I was 4.That would be a good way to start. 

I can give you plenty of info. Based on your interest and where you are.

Again, welcome to the forums and to the Jax. Area.

Mike

Welcome aboard, Todd!
