The general practice is Catch and Release.
You can check on Florida's fishing laws on the Internet. They may be so young that they don't need licenses. You may be so old that you don't need a license. Look it up.
I have seen a lot of fishing action at the pond at the roundabout at the Savannah Center. It is actually two connected ponds. Kids fish in the small pond with bread on a hook and catch a small fish. They then move to the big pond using the small fish for bait, and sometimes get a good sized bass.
A list of the ponds where you can fish from the bank is accessible on a page of The Villages Fishing Club. Bank Fishing | The Villages Freshwater Fishing
You will, of course, get them Villages visitor's ID cards so they can play games at the recreation centers. |
You can check out free fishing gear at the Lake Miona Rec center courtesy of the fresh water fishing club no need to buy anything.
