Last few times that I went fishing was quite a while back, I sat back and relaxed at this place: http://www.fisheries.co.uk/furnacelakes/
What a great spot
So my dad takes me out on his boat and we pull up and anchor to fish ( we never caught anything) I would say about 2/3rds of a mile

and this thing ?? http://www.portchicago.org
That has to be the worst fishing spot in the world.
