Here is the longer answer with more details.
First you may want to reconsider leaving your boat behind. I sold my boats before moving to Florida. My wife regrets that decision since I have bought 3 boats in the past four years! Remote covered storage is fairly inexpensive. My garage had an extension to a depth of 24 feet. My old Tracker 195 and my 2023 Triton 18XRW both fit in my garage.
Secondly, you should look into the Freshwater Fishing Club here in the villages. The majority of their the members fish in the Villages ponds but they bring in great speakers to talk about all things related to fishing. I'm a member of that club and for the past couple of years I have been organizing fishing outings for boat owners.
Lastly, to more directly answer your question about non-boaters; the focus of my new club will be on fishing areas outside of the Villages. Our monthly meetings will focus education/information sharing about the current conditions. Starting later this year, I plan to start a monthly club tournament that will include co-anglers.
Hopefully this helps. Feel free to give me a call at 206-618-8989 if you have more questions.

I decided to get rid of my boat because when I had time to go, no one else did. I will definitely be looking into fishing clubs and hopefully fund some new spots. I see Harris COL is very close. Thanks for the reply and info.
