what's the best lakes for bank fishing?

and are there special techniques in casting and in reeling the line?

what are the best spots to get a bite?

BTW I may go in three weeks to Ocalaa's National Forest and try my luck in Mill Dam Lake, if there is a particular spot there please tell me, or any other lake in Orlando which is good for bank fishing.

I caught two fish in a privet lake in the neighborhood I don't know what kind it's I just dropped(didn't cast it) the line from the duck, I was using hot dogs

if you caught it on hot dogs sounds like you caught a catfish

No it looks like a blue gill, and it wasn't long, it was round shaped

its a blue gill, sorry but I don't have a weight scale

"bream is a term used to refer to bluegill and shellcracker and redbellies and any other sunfish... a bluegill is[ch65279] a specific species commonly called a bream" "those blugills look a lot like what us oklahomans call a[ch65279] perch." Said by pros on www.youtube.com

I'm going to (hopefully) reinvigorate this thread. I'm heading down to Orlando in a few weeks. I looked on google earth and found a handful of what appear to be public lakes. Which ones would you all recommend for someone fishing from the bank?
