Anyone know of any private bass fishing ponds near Tampa?  I'm heading there for a business trip and will only have a few hours to fish so I want to make the most of those scarce few hours.  I'm willing to pay a private pond owner for a few hours of bank bass fishing where I know the fishing will be good rather than waste my scarce few hours driving around trying to find public ponds that may or may not allow bank fishing.  I'm staying in a hotel near the airport.

 

Thank you.

Man if I were me I’d scrap the bass fishing and grab an inshore charter. Snook trout red fish and tarpon, Can’t beat that my man.

if you are set on bass fishing then go to Tenoroc. It's run by the state and an awesome place to fish .Many lakes to choose from. 

it's in Lakeland.
