Newcomer Some places to go fishing in Buenos Aires?

Context: I haven't gone fishing for a long time (since I was a kid). I know that in Luján you can go fishing and there are places to buy rods and stuff. I need advice on how to go fishing.
 
We can say that fishing in Buenos Aires combines passion, proximity and enjoyment. In fact, it can even be a one-day plan. Here are 5 options:

LAGUNA DE LOS LOBOS
Located less than two hours by car from the city of Buenos Aires, taking the highway to Ezeiza and National Route 205. This lagoon presents very good conditions for sport fishing. It can be fished from the shore or by boat, although this second option is the most recommended for those who want to live a challenging fishing experience, according to those who know. The lagoon extends over 800 hectares and has an average depth of one meter.


LAGUNA SALADA GRANDE EN MADARIAGA
It is one of the experts' favorites. In this case, it is not the closest place to the Federal Capital and surrounding cities of the Province of Buenos Aires, but it is close to another big city, such as Mar del Plata. It is located a little less than 4 hours by car from the City of Buenos Aires. In this site there is a remarkable maintenance and care, which the signs invite you to respect. It is at the same time a natural reserve, where multiple species of birds and other animals coexist surrounding the enormous mirror of water that represents the lagoon. It can be accessed both in winter and summer.


RÍO LUJÁN
Less than an hour from the city of Buenos Aires, you can find passages of the Luján River that allow you to go down with your rod and settle in to fish. Unlike other sites, it presents a more rugged experience, where it is perhaps not so comfortable and you have to walk a few meters into the water, steady against the current (in the low intensity sections) in order to get better results.


LAGUNA HINOJO GRANDE
It is another lagoon where the main protagonist is the pejerrey. In this opportunity, it must be said that Hinojo Grande is located near Trenque Lauquen and if you go from Buenos Aires City, the journey is somewhat longer, since it takes a little more than 5 hours by car to reach the destination.

It is one of the most visited sites by fishermen from the province and from other parts of the country as well. Its enormous extension and its flow make it a water mirror coveted by fishing lovers, who can get more than interesting specimens of pejerrey.


SAN NICOLÁS DE LOS ARROYOS
Almost on the border with Rosario, reaching one of the extremes of the province of Buenos Aires, is San Nicolás de los Arroyos. An ideal place for fishing, for its variety, its conditions and the beauty of the landscape as well. Two rivers, streams and other water currents, in San Nicolás there is plenty to choose from.

The rivers and streams nourish the delta arm of the Paraná River and that is why there is a great amount of fish around these waters, which makes the level of bites superior to many other places, especially in warm seasons.
 
Thanks. I was just wondering about this the other day. A friend came in town and asked how fishing was there. I had no idea.
