So is it pointless to go out to lox without a boat? I've heard that the only place you can bank fish is at the pier and boat ramp. This true or are there other spots?

Thanks. I just looked that up on Google earth. Looks like it should be a good spot. I see you are from Margate. I've caught some nice fish down there at a park that is at a T in the canal. I forget the name though. You have to walk a little bit through some woods away from the park. A lot of vegetation but the bass were destroying the zoom toad I was using. Lots of fun but quite a hike for me.

Yeah I am definitely not trying to judge each spot by the success I'm having right now. It is definitely hit or miss. I will have to try those spots off of jog road. I drive by them all of the time and wonder how they are. There are so many ponds in south Florida and they pretty much all have fish. Just looking for that consistent spot with good sized fish. Guess I'm looking at the wrong time of year. That canal behind caloosa looks like a good spot. Right at a junction in the canal that leads to ida and a bridge right there. Some of the things you want to see for sure. I'll have to check that out soon. Thanks

I'll have to try that spot out. I don't mind driving for fish. Went to quantum and again nothing. Followed it up by going to Charleston and caught 3 in a hour. Seems like a good spot. Would be nice to have a boat or nice quiet kayak to get out past the weeds and shallow water around shore.

Thanks. Yeah I have been looking on Google earth a lot and have found a few places this way. Its just hard to know if the lake has good bass or not. I have been to some lakes and fished for a couple hours without a bite and don't know whether to rule it out or be more persistent because they may have just not been biting at that time. I don't want to be fishing a lake that turns out was just cut out a few years ago and has nothing but small fish. A perfect example is I actually live in quantum lakes and have fished here a couple times for a couple hours each time and have got nothing but a few weak bites. Now I know thanks to sirsnookalot that I need to keep trying. I also just went to lake Charleston this weekend and I did good there. The weeds are thick from shore to about 30 feet out so it makes it limit the lures you can use out there. They definetly have fish though. As I was driving around scouting the area I started talking to a couple guys using shiners from the dock and one hooked about a six pounder. Will go back for sure. I also don't mind driving to west palm, del ray, Boca, etc. I was actually talking about your post sirsnookalot where you marked a spot off of yamato but I couldn't see the point you marked. Thanks for the info and any more that anyone has. I'm going to give quantum lakes a shot again tonight.

I have just moved to Boynton Beach and am looking for some good spots to do some bank fishing. I have been to Lake Osborne and Lake Ida and have done alright there, just looking for a smaller pond to fish. Something in a neighborhood that is not gated and has a spot to park and area on the bank that I would not be in someone's back yard. I have looked on this site and read about a few spots but they had GPS markings that did not work when I clicked on it. This site has great information and I just want everyone to know that I'm not trying to steal there spots, but figure with all of the ponds I see on Google earth there are plenty to go around. I only catch and release. If anyone could give me some info it would be greatly appreciated and I will post what I find.
