From the time I was a little kid, I'd always loved fishing. The days where you go on the dock and stick a hook in the water with a worm or some corn on it, and catch small bluegill or perch. But as I get older, as many do, I find myself always looking for more... About a year ago I got heavy into bass fishing with my cousins in the marina by their house, and I tell you what, those things produce more than any lake or pond I've ever fished in. Almost every cast you get a bite, and even though some are small, there's always that diamond in the rough. I caught my biggest Largemouth bass while it was 40 degrees and rainy. A 5 pound beast. for some, that might not sound like much, but for the area, that's a nice bass. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're looking for a place that you're guaranteed to catch fish, throw a line in a marina and I guarantee you will catch something.

I wish this was the case near me! I live 5 minutes away from 2 marinas on Lake Michigan and they both are difficult to get to produce smallies. Forget even seeing a largemouth. 

I won 2 tournaments fishing nowhere else but the marina we launched at!

 

 

Many times Marinas are "off limits" to fishing boats.  Also if you can fish them, there's a couple reasons they produce.  They are great structure for baitfish and there's the ABC (already been caught) fish that are staging there from tournament releases.
