Top 5 Fishing in Florida

2525 S Hwy A1A, Melbourne Beach, FL 32951, United States

“It's more quieter than the other nearby beaches. I love it”

10555 Trails End, Parkland, FL 33076, United States

“Awesome playground and park. Lots of parking, shade, walking paths, and play equipment.”

7000 4th St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33705, United States

“Nice little park, you can view both the sunrise and sunset here. It seems great for fishing and is fairly active, especially near the boat dock. Also a great view of the sunshine skyway bridge! I think they have the bathrooms currently under construction and it looks like they intend to do hurricane cleanup work on the shoreline.”

601 Seaway Dr, Fort Pierce, FL 34949, United States

“This Marina is absolutely wonderful. There are so many things to do. You can rent little boats for the day, they also have houseboats for rent for the evening or two. They have spaces for rent on the water to put your boat and live. They have a great little Tiki bar area all lit up with very pretty lights.😁 I believe it's every other or every Thursday I might be wrong you should check but they do have a drive-in movie night. Not just for the residents the Community is welcome. The marina is absolutely beautiful. Just my opinion.”

20007 FL-64, Bradenton, FL 34212, United States

“Nice little walk on a sandy path. Weather is in the 60s today and it’s overcast out. This trail would be brutal if it’s hot out. We saw lots of little wild flowers. I, personally love occasionally hearing Bradenton racetrack while spotting. Seems like a great place to take your boat or wave runner out. The two porta-potty we stopped by are long over due for service.”

920 John Ringling Causeway, Sarasota, FL 34236, United States

“Great relaxing, fishing overall scenic spot. There's a small park for the kids to play, spots under the bridge to stay cool. The walking/fishing pier. A small shop with food, drinks, beer, live and frozen bait, and a dock if you pull up by boat. There's also clean bathrooms. Can't go wrong here!”

3400 Pan American Dr, Miami, FL 33133, United States

“Our stay at Dinner Key Marina was fantastic. The staff were incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful. The marina itself was secure, clean, and well-maintained, and the showers and restrooms were very clean and secure. It was also convenient to get ice from the vending machine. While the washers in the laundry could use an update, the prices were very fair and the machines worked efficiently. The dog walking experience was also fantastic, and we loved visiting the beautiful community of Coconut Grove.”

8950 5502 Ollie Roberts Rd, Bowling Green, FL 33834, United States

“This is one of my favorite campgrounds. I would recommend this place to everyone but I don't put it out on social media. Being a Florida resident and not being able to get into a Florida State Park irritates me beyond belief. I personally believe that the State Parks should have a certain amount of campsites available to the residents of this State. We found this hidden gem and absolutely love it. I was reading some of the comments on here and they made me giggle. * There's no fish out here. What?! There are 4 beautiful large lakes out here that are full of fish. * There's no wildlife out here. Are you kidding me? There's deer everywhere. Gopher turtles, snakes, raccoons, coyotes, possums, all kinds of birds. * There's no campsites available. Certain months are very popular. Plan ahead. I do know this, some people reserve sites and never show up. That's so unfair to campers that do want a site. How to curb that? No refunds. * One thing that really bothers me is the trash thrown around throughout the park. My husband and I are constantly picking up trash. Let's keep this park beautiful. Follow the rules. Don't ride your buggy through the creeks! Be respectful. We all want to enjoy this park. ⛺🎣🦌🦝🐢🐍🐺🦉🐦‍⬛🐊”

1982 SW Villanova Rd, Port St. Lucie, FL 34953, United States

“We bring our dog for a walk and our fishing poles for the small fish we catch. The open field canal side is great to run our dog fetching a ball when it is not crowded. The trails to the northern side give us and our dog a good long walk”

Gulf of Mexico, Cedar Key, FL 32625, United States

“UPDATE 09/16/2023 - THE PIER IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO HURRICANE IDALIA DAMAGE. WILL POST WHEN IT'S BACK OPEN AGAIN. Cedar Key Pier is a great place to visit and fish in Cedar Key! You can catch almost anything from the pier. I have caught almost every kind of game fish, and have seen even more caught from there! While Channel Catfish are very plentiful, you can also catch some great eating fish and some that are just fun to catch! I have caught Black drum up to 26 pounds (big ones have worms in them and should be released to be breeders, smaller ones are better eating anyway), Red Drums (reds), Spotted and Silver Sea Trout, Sharks (several kinds with Bonnett Head being the most common) rays, sheepshead, Snook, Tarpon and more. A drop net for pier fishing is a must. The pier is a good 12 to 18 feet off the water depending on the tide. And you need to have the right gear for the pier. You shouldn't fish with lightweight fresh water gear. You will lose it or break it. Some of the fish are just downright big. Saltwater rods and reels of fairly stout kind are best. You may see dolphin out on the channel and the occasional mantee will glide by. The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful when the weather is right and worth getting up a bit early to see from the pier! The current here is strong and during tide it moves fast enough to require a 4 oz or heavier pyramid sinker to keep your bait in place. Bottom fishing is the only way to fish here during tides. During slack tide you can fish almost anyway you want. Single or double hook setups are the standard. The most common all around bait that works best is live shrimp and cut baits for most. Blue crab works well for drum. There is a bait shop, the Rusty Hook, right next to the pier and is very convenient. The pier has very nice restrooms and is kept up by a very nice lady who cleans them every morning. There is no charge to fish from the pier! So if you decide to try it out, look for me! I fish it once or twice a week, mostly during the weekdays, but now and then on the weekends when I take a friend out there! You can follow my fishing there at @outdoorswithCW”

16201 Front Beach Rd, Panama City Beach, FL 32413, United States

“We recently visited Russell-Fields Pier and had a fantastic experience! One of the standout features of this pier is its affordability. The entry fee is reasonable $4 per person. Kids 5 and under are free) and parking is convenient and easily accessible. The views from above the shallow waters are breathtaking, providing a unique perspective of the marine life below. The crystal-clear waters allow you to see various fish and other aquatic creatures, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts and families alike. Walking along the pier, you're treated to panoramic views of the surrounding area. Whether you're admiring the sunrise or sunset, the picturesque scenes are simply mesmerizing. The pier is well-maintained, and there are plenty of spots to relax and enjoy the view”

2132 Hwy 98 E, Carrabelle, FL 32322, United States

“We spend a week here for Thanksgiving. The weather was great. This is such a great little campground. Sites are spacious, and very well kept. The folks there patrol the area really well, and they are so very friendly. It's very quiet and peaceful. The beach is beautiful, and so are the sunrise and sunset. Great little fishing pier to fish from, and to watch the dolphins swim by. We had a great stay her, I would highly recommend!! I did catch the ladys name, but the one who drives the JD tractor, she is super friendly, very nice lady!! E All the staff was friendly, but she made a point to come by and check in on us now then, very nice!!!”

1000 Faver Dykes Rd, St. Augustine, FL 32086, United States

“This Florida State Park is a gem in the rough. Its 3 miles back from route 1 right off of route 95. Small park with only 30 sites. Every spot is secluded from each other. The maintenance guy will even rake every spot out for the next campers. Wow it's like being in the jungle but with electricity and water at every spot. There is a dump station. Bathrooms are clean with showers. Perfect location to visit St Augustine. Loved this place!”

15001 Gasparilla Rd, Placida, FL 33946, United States

“We went here for the first time to pick up bait just this past week and my husband is raving about it. We've had some bad experiences with bait and this was a much better one. They had fair pricing and we got really good looking bait for our money. Definitely will stop here again on our fishing adventures.”

99701 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037, United States

“Captain Bill and Hunter were amazing to fish with!!! They were both so amazing with my 4 year old and he absolutely loved it!! Would book over and over again with this crew! Thanks a bunch.”

7098 Shadowridge Dr, Orlando, FL 32812, United States

“Nice park with a great 9 hole disc golf course! Heavily wooded with multiple pin positions.”

2000 S River Rd, Englewood, FL 34223, United States

“We hiked to the Pine Straw campsite and back which was a little over 5 miles. There are many other trails to walk and a river to fish at. The trails are well kept, the forest is beautiful, and we saw a lot of wildlife and wildlife sign in …”

10432 County Rd 44, Leesburg, FL 34788, United States

“We had an awesome time on a Florida summer day in June. Capt. Austin supported a wonderful trip with live bait (shiners). He is very attentive to our needs. Capt. Austin is very knowledgeable of the area. We got to …”

101551 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037, United States

“This campground was a perfect place for our 3 night stay when passing through Key Largo. Our site was quite large (larger than many of the transient sites), and it had quite a bit of natural shade and vegetation. We didn't use any of the amenities as far as the pool, laundry, etc, but we would definitely stay again.”

607 Island Dr, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689, United States

“I really can't say enough good about my entire experience! I have been out on quite a few parts boats as well as private charter and besides the private charter, best fishing trip I've ever had. We caught sooooo many fish! Everyone on the boat did. Everyone on the boat went home with a good amount of fish. Everyone threw back a lottttt of fish too. We spent a lot more time fishing than going to the spots. Captain is awesome 😎 He makes your trip enjoyable and was knowledgeable in good fishing spots. Has a pretty awesome side kick (an awesome doggie) Crew was just as awesome. Super on top of everything. Super nice. Definitely going to be going out again with this boat 😊”
