Now I do know that they have some new phosphate pit lakes that recently opened up. IMC Phosphate Company. There are regulations and restrictions on these new Fish Management Area lakes so if you go there, you need to read them. Link below. The brochure is a .pdf file.

ever fish there??

No. Too much trouble with FMA regulations and restrictions. I would rather fish statewide fisheries with normal statewide regulations whenever I want to.

The first three are small lakes and I don't need to go all the way to Hardee County and fish when we have over 92 lakes and other fisheries right here in Highlands County. Not worth the trouble or distance.
