Going on vactions in the Treasure Island area.Looked on the map and found a couple of lakes in the area.There are Lake Padgett,Lake Fern and Lake Tarpon.Was wondering if anyone knew if these are good lakes and are they fishable from the bank?Also Lake okee. and lake placid are within a few hours,was also wondering if they are fishable from the bank.Hell im in florida just want to be able to say i put my line in Lake okee and placid lol

Lake Padget is private, Tarpon does have a good fishing area at the sea wall from anderson park, and lake Fern im not real famillar with but Tarpon is your best bet

I've never fished down there but my uncle always does and says Tarpon is the best right now and will be through late March

when will you be down on vaca?

8-13th of march

the fishing on tarpon will be on FIRE then, If you are going to fish from the bank go to Anderson Park, all the way in the back is a sea wall and about 20-30 yards is a hydrilla line and you can through small shiners and live shrimp as well and catch them. The whole live shrimp thing suprised me untill I watched a guy haul in about a 4#'er. I will be going quite often over the next couple of months so PM me when you will be at the lake and if im able to head out ill get you off the bank and show you how good this lake is.
