Lake Osbourne Bank Fishing?

[bassinOUT89]

Going to be in the area tomorrow, wondering if there's much access to fish the bank.

A large part of the lake is shore accessible north of lantana rd.

thanks for the reply, I'm assuming that's in the park itself?

[Shanes7614]

Yes. John prince park.

[bassinOUT89]

Alright thanks again.

It's pretty accesible on the Southside by the bridge and across from the airport also just have to park on the side of a side street. I'm not sure if it's allowed though I always use my boat but see people do it.

Also you can get under a lot of bridges taht hold some nice peacocks from the shore

Plenty of shore access and lots of parking, no problem on the side of the road.

Hey bassinOut89, I am curious if you ended up going out there? I was there yesterday, fished Ida and Osborne off the bank but I was skunked in a major way. There is tons of Bank Fishing area on Osborne and a lot of it looks excellent. I was hoping to find pads like last time I was there but I couldn't find any. Not sure what happened but there was a side canal that was just full of them last time. The only pads I saw were way to far for me to cast into. The water was pretty darn murky and there was a ton of boats and jetski's out there. It was extremely hot out there too, I mean I am talking about melting hot. I haven't sweat so much fishing in a very long time.

Unfortunately my schedule changed and ended up having to go work down in south Miami. I do want to try osbourne soon. I'm sure I'll have a chance and I'll let you know how I do.

This area can be very hard to fish and some days seem next to impossible to land a bass. The peas are a lot easier to catch. The area with the heavy pads you where talking about I believe is behind Palm Beach State College, near that firefighter training building. The pads died off in the winter since the water is about 1-3 feet deep and got cold really fast. They should be back come mid summer. There's a bunch of stumps in that area that I consistently catch fish from both Bass and the Peas.
