There are many hot spots to fish at in Florida, this is why it is considered to be one of the best places to fish in the world. With places like the Florida Keys, Tampa Bay and the everglades, why would you not want to fish in Florida.

Florida fishing offers you all kinds of game fish to catch both inshore and even more if you plan on fishing offshore. Some of the great game fish that you can get while fishing inshore are snook, redfish, sea trout, flounder, mangrove snapper, and sheepshead. You do not necessarily need a boat in Florida to fill up your cooler with some delicious fish.

Some of the options you might want to look into if you do not have a boat is fishing from a pier. There are many fishing piers up and down both coasts of Florida, and they all provide excellent fishing for anglers year round. Some of them will charge you money some of them wont, one of the more famous fishing piers in Florida lies in Fort Desoto.

The Fort Desoto fishing pier extends out a little longer than a football field, and all the fish I mentioned above can be caught there. Another great spot to cast some lines are on beaches, which is also called surf fishing. The best places to do this are on the beaches that have bridge or pier inlets, and lots of rocks, the rocks give fish like snapper and snook spots to hide and stay out of the sun.

For anglers that are into night fishing inshore, then I would have to say that a dock with a light pointed to the water makes spectacular fishing. If you have access to a dock that is anywhere from central Florida down, then there are sure to be some snook lurking around at night time.

With thousands of bridges in Florida, there is always a spot to do some inshore saltwater fishing. Not all bridges allow you to fish from them, but you can usually fish under them too. Some great bridges to fish from are the old sunshine skyway bridge in Saint Petersburg and the 7 mile bridge in the Keys.

So if you thought that you needed a boat to catch fish in Florida, you can think again. I have had great success inshore fishing in Florida fishing from all of the types of structures that I have mentioned in this article.
