Had a nice trip down to Disney. Stayed at Ft. Wilderness Campground. Fished where we always do right on the Disney property. Got to fish for a couple of days before we were shut down by security. Apparently, no more shore fishing after the gator incident.[down] My son got this 24", 8lb bass from the shore one evening. I had one rod that I would catch small blue gills with and then transfer them to another rod with a large hook and bobber. We caught quite a few with the bite being best right before dark. We also took a ride to the Canaveral National Seashore, as suggested by, BenGomez. Beautiful beach, with few people, and saw manatees and dolphins in the lagoon adjacent to the beach. A hot, but great trip and a personal best bass, 2 lbs heavier than my biggest. Saw a lot of deer and turkeys in Disney. The does still looked pregnant and we did not see any fawns. Thinking they are born later down there? Thanks for reading.[up]

Yeah, everything is about liability now. Just let me sign a waiver and let me fish. They do have guided boat fishing for $250 for 2 hours. Actually, I am surprised how good we had it there for about 5 trips over 15 years fishing off the shore, with not to many people fishing, as crowded as Disney is. They have signs every 10 feet along every stretch of lake/canal now that warn of gators and snakes, all newly placed.

Glad you had fun. If you make it back, Mosquito Lagoon is great for fishing too. People catch huge redfish in there just by wading, though renting a kayak is even better.
