24 Things People Have Pulled From Water While Fishing

Find a Place to Fish

Start googling to find a public area that has shore access available for fishing. If the public location has a dock or pier access the better. Start by searching your “county or city” + “public fishing access”. A lot of State DNR websites have “Lake Finders” or other tools to search for public fishing access near your town. While fishing off the beaten path is a scenic ideal, you should focus on finding a location that is convenient. This way you can focus on fishing and avoid complications. Many local parks have stocked ponds and small lakes with convenient public fishing access. Restrooms, short distances, and stocked Panfish make up the ideal location at this point in your journey.
