New to Vero Beach.

[Louie829]

Hi Folks;

 

Recently moved to Vero Beach. Looking to find bass fishing places that I can fish without a boat. Also willing to partner

up by pitching in for gas or bait on your boat.  Need to catch that 2 digit bass:):)

I'm on SR60 close to 95.

Tried a few canals but the steep embankments and the vegetation growth is tough. 

Thanks.

Welcome aboard!

Hit google earth and start searching for water with some access.  Look for flood gates in the canals, current can make them magical.  Get a good pair of boots for the creepy crawlies, I never leave home without them.

Hi Slade, sounds great, I'm heading to Virginia to visit the kids and

Louie My daughter moved to Vero back in April from Virginia, compile some good fishing spots and I'll look you up when I come down for a visit ?

[Louie829]

Hi Richard, that would be great. I'll look forward to that.

 

Thank you,

Hello, I saw this was an old post but I figured I would give it a try. I moved into the north ft pierce/vero area a couple years ago and used to be a big bass shore fisher up in Mass. I am at a loss when it comes to finding spots to fish with my two young boys here. I've tried a few canals and the pond in my community but not much luck. My boys get bored from not catching anything and it's hard to get them to go fishing now. Any advice on specific spots. I went to lake Garcia but the only spot to shore fish I found was at the boat ramp which was too busy. Thanks!

Mr. Science teach. Yes it is a whole different animal down here. I'm from MA also. Even panfish behave differently and do not bite readily. I have  been here 8 years and have only caught a half dozen crappie. The variety of fish willing to bite doesn't exist. The fishing is not what I thought it would be.

You're very close to world class fishing, places like Headwaters Lake. You can walk the levee by the Fellsmere Grade Recreational Area and catch all kinds of nice bass. That whole area is loaded with canals and lagoons, many places to bank fish. I've banked fished there and have done quite well, sometimes even better than with a kayak. Just be mindful of all the wildlife. Best of luck!
