Where To Fish In Southeast And Southwest Florida?

Featured Replies

Hey guys, Ive been fishing my whole life basically, but I am just now getting really into it... that being said, Im finding it hard to find areas in the Deerfield Beach area to fish for large mouth bass... i bank fish, so most of the places people go are inaccessible to me... I'm also having a hard time finding places over by my school in fort myers. I go to FGCU and have had good luck on campus, but around campus I haven't had any... anyone have any tips? any good spots?

my advice would be join FGCU's Fishing club and make some friends, we fish a lot of different areas and have some really good spots.

For sheer numbers the Alley is hard to beat anywhere in the country. Also look for development lakes or golf course ponds. Most are connected to the south florida water management system for flood control. Therefore all have bass and exotics in them. There is a load of lakes in Weston florida with loads of big bass. Im sure the west coast has a bunch also. I try to stay away from homes because you get hassled. Look for shopping centers and business parks with lakes they usually leave you alone. They almost always build in lakes to provide fill for the center. Big fish find there way into all those lakes through the culvert pipes. Find a pipe with current and you will hit a homerun. Good luck!
