Hi guys, I’m coming down from Michigan February 17-24 and was looking to get onto some big Florida bass, or whatever else I can catch from shore. I’ve read Lake Ida is close, but not great unless you have a boat. Any local canals, golf course, or residential ponds that hold some fish would be appreciated. Also if anyone is looking for someone to fish with while I’m there I’m your guy. Thanks guys I really appreciate it

Just about all residential ponds, golf course ponds, and canals will have some bass. Locate spots via satellite imagery. Just toss whatever lure you like wherever you have access and you're likely to catch something. Lake Ida has a lot of fishing pressure and from the shore is usually disappointing. There are numerous ponds behind shopping centers and around office buildings, many of which are accessible, some are rarely fished, and many of them hold good bass. Target areas around the metal culverts that equalize water levels between ponds.
