Bank Fishing spots for Jacksonville FL

[Funfishin]

Hey Y'all!

 

I don't want anyone to give up their super secret spots but I am new to fishing and visiting my in-laws in South Jacksonville (Mandarin) over Xmas. Wondering if anyone was willing to give me any insight on bank fishing spots to practice fishing at. Not looking for massive fish, just to practice fishing. Even if I catch some dinks, I would be more than happy. Appreciate any replies!

Any neighborhood pond in Florida will have some fish in it. Ronnie Van Zant park has a big pond stocked in the back all bank accessible.

Thats a kids fishing park. You must have a kid with you to fish it .

I wish I had seen this earlier.

I grew up and live near mandarin. 

You can fish the pond at mandarin park on mandarin rd . I caught a 7 pounder in there. There are 3 ponds at the greenland rd park. Its called palmetto glade ?  park I think. Dont waste your time with the back pond . Fish the front or middle pond. Caught a 6 at the middle pond. 

You could also go across the creek on 13 to Davis pond blvd and fish the pond right on 13 at Davis pond. I park at the library and walk over. Caught a 4 in there. Go up the road a half mile and you can fish the big pond on the left. A 12 pounder was caught there.

Hope this helps. Stay in touch- I also live on a good bass lake in the baymeadows area. You can come fish here if you want.
