The farther away from people and the main road you can get, the better... it betters your chances of not only catching fish, but finding your own little Eden for a few hours.

If you can drive around for a bit off the beaten path and find a spot with no garbage laying around (an unfortunate truth in so many places, lotta thoughtless scumbags out there)... you WILL catch fish and you WILL feel enriched just by hanging out for a while, catching fish or not.

It doesn't have to be an obvious fishing spot or big body of water either, some of the very best fishing is done in a spot you decide on yourself in a small pond or creek no more than 10 foot across... if theres water and very few people signs, you're gonna enjoy it.

Bottom line... find the OUT OF THE WAY places.

I like fishing off the beatin path. Down at a creek somewhere doesn't have to have much water just enough for me to know a catfish would be happy find some liver on a treble hook.
