My next thought was to take him somewhere nearby where we could fish from shore or pier. Does anybody know of places around here? Somewhere where there's a little bit less danger of alligators (since he can't move very fast)? We'd probably either need quick access to the golf cart (in the villages) or to fish from a pier or dock (preferred).
Thanks.

The villages freshwater fishing club is your friend for this information. I know you can find them on Facebook. They will have maps of all the local ponds that are allowed to be fished from shore. Most golf course ponds are not allowed to be fished. Many of the ponds are accessible by golf cart.
Good luck! Summer fishing can be tough due to the heat but they gotta eat sometime!
