My brother is coming to visit in October. He would be thrilled if we could plan a day of fishing, but we know NOTHING about where we should take him. Where? Need license? Can you rent equipment? Any info would be appreciated.

I would love to fish at village ponds. My concern is fishing off the banks and alligators. I know they can rise up and snatch small dogs, and I saw one get a good sized bird off the bank. Am I being overly cautious?
