ok iam going to florida on saturday and iam going to go sw fishing but i want to go fishing for fw fish......the hotel has a biggish lake/pond(not sure but there water :ROFL: ) next to it, they said they do fishing day-outs there but not sure if its the one right next to it. so where is the best place to fish in orlando and what can you catch there:confused:
thanks dave
 
If you fish there make sure you have a visitors fishing license.

In the small ponds/lakes LMB would be the primary fish you would catch. Live shiners would be the best producers for beginners/people not familiar with the area.
 
anythink else iam not a newbie at fishing ive caught a 160lb blue marlin in dominican republic, decent pike and common carp. is the snakeheads, any cichlids and biggish catfish there?
 
I believe Orlando is too far north for the snakeheads and Peacocks and other exotics.

I've seen the PBass in Ft. Lauderdale and South.
 
yeah i would like to do both, what types of catfish can you catch? is the any cichlid like cons. i no the not big fish but my little brother would come and he has to catch somethink and i think seeing wild cichlid would be cool
 
Hahahaha I got you caught up in fishing in FL. I'm lovin it lol. Trust me The Keys are the hot spot, convice your dad. Be like Dad they have monster Sailfish, Tiger Sharks, Lemon sharks and huge yellow fin tuna, King mackrels, Jacks and anything else you can think of so can you please take me!!!!! I only caught Pbass in rivers there but caught some largemouths and some catfish in ponds and lakes. Not sure what catfish though.
