Hi! I'm a Survivor of a deadly wildfire & before the fire I fished everyday in the SF Bay Area. My leg was badly burned during my escape from the fire & I ended up losing my leg & I'm in a wheelchair now. It's been 5 years since I fished & I want to get back into it again. I do saltwater & freshwater. And I'm in Sacramento now. I need some suggestions of places in Sac or close to Sac that I can get to in a wheelchair. Ive reasearched where all the wheelchair accessible fishing docks are around here but I'm looking for places that have spots I can roll up to & fish. So like flat grounds or concrete, or even a steep drop leading to the waters edge that I can launch a line out. (Not to brag but I can cast like you wouldn't believe).
Thank you for any suggestions

Try searching the archives here as this topic has come up several times. Very creative name you posted. I love it! And as a burn survivor you've earned the right to brag anytime you wish. Welcome to the Stage.

I have never tried. I'm assuming I could a pontoon if there was a ramp so I could bridge from the dock to the boat or something. But a regular aluminum boat I seriously doubt I could do that.

Yeah it might a little hard for u to get in my boat. Try the public pier at Rio Vista. Great handicap access and good striper fishing. Use filleted sardines. Call Rio Vista bait shop they are very helpful.

I checked that out today. Unfortunately there was a sea lion or seal in the water scaring the fish away!

Stay strong and true. I grew up in Sacramento some 60 years ago. I missed the 50s. So much has changed. I'm sure the fish haven't changed....LOL!
