Where to Bass fishing in Tampa / Sarasota, Fl.?

[Bergen Angler]

I am spending a week in Tampa during X-mas holiday. I already hired a guide at the Lake Toho in Orlando. No shiners, probably top water frogs. Last year, I lost 14 lb LM ... still have a nightmare about that.

In between saltwater fishing in Tampa, I plan to do some LM fishing.

Does anyone know where I can bass fishing from the shore in Tampa / Sarasota area?

Thank you in advance.

Hey. I'll be honest, there are small ponds and lake all over tampa. I would drive around with your rod and see what you can find. My girlfriends sister lives on carollwood lake and I usually fish there but I think it's private.

Get in touch with Carlos, formally of the Andrea's Toy for your salt water fishing and he might be able to steer you to some fresh as well. He is still a member of the site
