tnhiker44 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Welcome!! Imperial Polk County (Lakeland, Bartow) is right on the edge of phosphate pit country. A lot of these pits are 'private' pay lakes that are full of big bass. I am not sure how to legally get on these lakes, as a younger man I used to sneak in to a few. Some are fishable from the bank, but the older ones have a decent amount of shoreline vegetation. making shore fishing difficult. With clear, blueish water they are unlike most fresh water in Florida. They are deep, also... another oddity in central Florida. I wish I could be of more help... but I at least wanted you to know that there are good fishing areas where you intend to go. Good luck!! Quote
Fishing Cowgirl Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Welcome! This is a great resource for information! I went to Scotland in 1990, tracking down some family history and took a trip down Loch Ness..beautiful. Maybe we will see you on the lake! Quote
