  The water is getting better.  It is a slow uphill kind of thing.  Everyone has a diff opinion on what should get done and how to fix stuff.  In the meantime, the fish have done what they know how to do to get to better water...
  
  I fish the areas you mention, along with lots of other guys - it's pretty and most folks are respectful.  You will be able to get trout without much trouble and there are a few reds running around, just not like in years past.  If you just want to catch fish - live shrimp in most of the channels will usually get something.

  No idea where the fish go off to.    
  
  There literally are fish everywhere, you just need to put a bait on their nose.
  
  Best wishes to your success!

  Better water?  In FL?  West side.  East coast is a toxic dump compared to what it once was (and not that long ago.. like a decade).
  
  Also, the Caribbean and Central America.

  I have never seen live bones, but I know that they are often used by rich people to decorate the interior.

  You can fish the three bridges between Port Orange and New Smyrna and launch the Yak at either of the two yellow arrows in the picture( second one below). Anything that swims in the river you can catch in this area. Or in the picture directly below you can launch further down towards Edgewater at Menard Park. Lots of good fishing around here as well. Either area bring some live Shrimp/mullet your favorite top water and some paddle tails and you will most definitely catch fish. Nothing wrong with the water in these areas.

  Thanks for the help guys. I'll report if I do any good. Looking forward it. We got ALOT of snow in N. WI, and I'm looking forward to leaving it behind. Mother Nature is good at healing herself if we can find a way to let that happen. Hopefully the politicians, and the public, will begin to prioritize this stuff. In the long term, restoring the fisheries, improving the water quality, is the best economic decision they can make. It's the short term interests that get in the way. IMHO
